Interface SocketParameter

All Superinterfaces:

Initializable, Parameter, PropertySupplying

public interface SocketParameter
extends Parameter

This interface markes parameter whose data are transfered via a socket connection rather than via RMI. A parameter living in the java world (presumably in a stella.GlobalGrouping instance) and trying to shed his wisdom to non-java applications should implement this interface. Instances of SocketParameter are than served by a ParameterServer that allows incomming queries to java-paramters and uses this interface's only method, getAscii(), to transfer the paramter value to the client.
