Interface Plugin

All Known Implementing Classes:

BasePlugin

public interface Plugin

A Plugin is a pluggable data source. It should not matter whether this accesses a URL or a local repository, or even if the results are returned directly (from RAM). This uses an asynchronous model of fetching the data: the Client should call doRequest() only after registering a ResponseListener

Method Summary

void	addResponseListener(ResponseListener l) Register a listener for the Response
void	doRequest(int requestId, Request request) Perform a request, specifying a unique requestId
java.lang.String	getId() Get a unique identifier for this plugin
void	removeResponseListener(ResponseListener l) Deregister a ResponseListener
