Interface Feeder

All Known Implementing Classes:

TestFeeder

public interface Feeder

This interface represents a data channel into which objects can be fed. Feeders act as intermediaries between stages in a pipeline and the drivers for subsequent stages. Each StageDriver implementation will ordinarily provide a custom Feeder implementation that integrates receiving objects with its internal stage processing workflow.

Field Summary

static Feeder

VOID This Feeder implementation provides a standard, no-op sink for objects.

Method Summary

void	feed(Object obj) Feeds the specified object to an underlying receiver.

Field Detail

VOID

static final Feeder VOID

This Feeder implementation provides a standard, no-op sink for objects. It is useful for situations like the terminus of a pipeline, where there is nothing to be done with a generated object.

Method Detail

feed

void feed(Object obj)

Feeds the specified object to an underlying receiver.

Parameters:

obj - The object being fed to the receiver.
