Types of Messages
Different message types are represented by different Java classes, with RTMFMessage the parent class of all other message classes.
You can create the following types of messages by specifying an RTMFMessageType constant when creating the message:
Type of Message |
Constant for Creating Message |
Java Class |
Standard |
RTMFMessageType |
RTMFMessage |
Success |
RTMFSuccessMessageType |
RTMFSuccessMessage |
Error |
RTMFErrorMessageType |
RTMFErrorMessage |
For example, the following creates a success message:
RTMFSuccessMessage message = RTMFMessageFactory
.getMessage(RTMFMessageType.RTMFSuccessMessageType);
The RTMFClusterMessage message type, which is created with a standard constructor, is only available within an RTMF service. For more information, see Synchronizing Services.
Checking a Message's Type
To check a message's type, check the message's class, as follows:
if (message.getClass().equals(RTMFErrorMessage.class)) {
// ... Error Routine
}
In addition, the method getMessageType() returns the name of the object's class.
