public class NotifyDelegator
extends Object
implements com.gigaspaces.events.batching.BatchRemoteEventListener

Just like the call to JavaSpace.notify(), it serves to register interest in matching entries for a specific period of time. If a matching entry is written to the space before the notification request expires, then the notify() method on the given event listener will be called. In comparison to JavaSpace.notify() there is no need to set the client codebase. Both clients and server agree on this proxy object to be used for notifications.

1. Registering for notifications

We use com.j_spaces.core.client.NotifyModifiers as the notification interest. You could either register for all notifications with NotifyModifiers.NOTIFY_ALL or you could use bitwise or operator "|" and have several notifications: e.g. NotifyModifiers.NOTIFY_WRITE | NotifyModifiers.NOTIFY_READ

 NotifyDelegator ntfyDelegator =
        new NotifyDelegator((IJSpace) spaceProxy,
                                new MyEntry(),
                                theTransaction,
                                theListener,
                                Lease.FOREVER,
                                null,
                                fifoEnabled,
                                NotifyModifiers.NOTIFY_ALL);
 

theListener has to implement RemoteEventListener and its inherited method notify().
theTransaction could be either a null transaction or an obtained one from a TransactionManager.

2. The notification event

When new entries that match the template arrive at the space, the supplied listener's notify() method will be called by the delegator. From the notification event you can access the entry that triggered the event in the space, and act upon each interested notification.

 public void notify(RemoteEvent event)
 {
        EntryArrivedRemoteEvent arrivedRemoteEvent = (EntryArrivedRemoteEvent)event;
        int notifyType = arrivedRemoteEvent.getNotifyType();

        // section for write notifications
        if (notifyType == NotifyModifiers.NOTIFY_WRITE)
        {
                MyEntry myEntry = (MyEntry)((EntryArrivedRemoteEvent)event).getEntry();
                ...
        }
 }
 

3. Canceling the registration

In order to cancel the notify registration, you can use the Event Registration object of this delegator:

 ntfyDelegator.getEventRegistration().getLease().cancel();
 

4. Closing the listener

Leasing does not close the NotifyDelegator once the lease expires. Although no notifications will be delegated, it is good practice to close any excess resources.

 ntfyDelegator.close()
