Interface ServerChannel

All Superinterfaces:

Channel, ConfigurableServerChannel

public interface ServerChannel
extends ConfigurableServerChannel

Server side representation of a Bayeux channel.

ServerChannel is the entity that holds a set of ServerSessions that are subscribed to the channel itself.

A message published to a ServerChannel will be delivered to all the ServerSession's subscribed to the channel.

Contrary to their client side counterpart (ClientSessionChannel) a ServerChannel is not scoped with a session.
