InternalMessage (omero-common 5.7.2 API)

java.lang.Object
- java.util.EventObject
- - org.springframework.context.ApplicationEvent
  - - ome.util.messages.InternalMessage

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

ShutdownMessage, UserSignalMessage
```
public abstract class InternalMessage
extends org.springframework.context.ApplicationEvent
```
Message which can be published via OmeroContext.publishEvent(ApplicationEvent) or OmeroContext.publishMessage(InternalMessage). It is currently assumed that the Spring-configured ApplicationEventMulticaster will publish the InternalMessage in the current Thread. If a subclass can properly handle the threaded case, it should set threadSafe to true. Since the the OmeroContext.publishEvent(ApplicationEvent) does not allow for an exception, consumers of InternalMessage subclasses can throw a MessageException which will properly handled by the OmeroContext.publishMessage(InternalMessage) method. (Users of OmeroContext.publishEvent(ApplicationEvent) will have to manually unwrap the MessageException. Note: this class may or may not be useful for the client-side, but it must be in the common/ package for use by OmeroContext

Since:

3.0-Beta2
