    public interface ChannelInterceptor

extends MembershipListener, Heartbeat

A ChannelInterceptor is an interceptor that intercepts messages and membership messages in the channel stack. This allows interceptors to modify the message or perform other actions when a message is sent or received.
Interceptors are tied together in a linked list.

Method Detail

### getOptionFlag

    int getOptionFlag()

  An interceptor can react to a message based on a set bit on the message options.
  When a message is sent, the options can be retrieved from ChannelMessage.getOptions() and if the bit is set, this interceptor will react to it.
  A simple evaluation if an interceptor should react to the message would be:
  `boolean react = (getOptionFlag() == (getOptionFlag() & ChannelMessage.getOptions()));`
  The default option is 0, meaning there is no way for the application to trigger the interceptor. The interceptor itself will decide.

  Returns:
    int
  See Also:
    `ChannelMessage.getOptions()`

### setOptionFlag

    void setOptionFlag(int flag)

  Sets the option flag

  Parameters:
    `flag` - int
  See Also:
    `getOptionFlag()`

### setNext

    void setNext(ChannelInterceptor next)

  Set the next interceptor in the list of interceptors

  Parameters:
    `next` - ChannelInterceptor

### getNext

    ChannelInterceptor getNext()

  Retrieve the next interceptor in the list

  Returns:
    ChannelInterceptor - returns the next interceptor in the list or null if no more interceptors exist

### setPrevious

    void setPrevious(ChannelInterceptor previous)

  Set the previous interceptor in the list

  Parameters:
    `previous` - ChannelInterceptor

### getPrevious

    ChannelInterceptor getPrevious()

  Retrieve the previous interceptor in the list

  Returns:
    ChannelInterceptor - returns the previous interceptor in the list or null if no more interceptors exist

### sendMessage

    void sendMessage(Member[] destination,
                     ChannelMessage msg,
                     InterceptorPayload payload)
                     throws ChannelException

  The `sendMessage` method is called when a message is being sent to one more destinations. The interceptor can modify any of the parameters and then pass on the message down the stack by invoking `getNext().sendMessage(destination,msg,payload)`
  Alternatively the interceptor can stop the message from being sent by not invoking `getNext().sendMessage(destination,msg,payload)`
  If the message is to be sent asynchronous the application can be notified of completion and errors by passing in an error handler attached to a payload object.
  The ChannelMessage.getAddress contains Channel.getLocalMember, and can be overwritten to simulate a message sent from another node.

  Parameters:
    `destination` - Member[] - the destination for this message
    `msg` - ChannelMessage - the message to be sent
    `payload` - InterceptorPayload - the payload, carrying an error handler and future useful data, can be null
  Throws:
    `ChannelException`
  See Also:
    `ErrorHandler`, `InterceptorPayload`

### messageReceived

    void messageReceived(ChannelMessage data)

  the `messageReceived` is invoked when a message is received. `ChannelMessage.getAddress()` is the sender, or the reply-to address if it has been overwritten.

  Parameters:
    `data` - ChannelMessage

### heartbeat

    void heartbeat()

  The `heartbeat()` method gets invoked periodically to allow interceptors to clean up resources, time out object and perform actions that are unrelated to sending/receiving data.

  Specified by:
    `heartbeat` in interface `Heartbeat`

### hasMembers

    boolean hasMembers()

  Intercepts the `Channel.hasMembers()` method

  Returns:
    boolean - if the channel has members in its membership group
  See Also:
    `Channel.hasMembers()`

### getMembers

    Member[] getMembers()

  Intercepts the code>Channel.getMembers() method

  Returns:
    Member[]
  See Also:
    `Channel.getMembers()`

### getLocalMember

    Member getLocalMember(boolean incAliveTime)

  Intercepts the code>Channel.getLocalMember(boolean) method

  Parameters:
    `incAliveTime` - boolean
  Returns:
    Member
  See Also:
    `Channel.getLocalMember(boolean)`

### getMember

    Member getMember(Member mbr)

  Intercepts the code>Channel.getMember(Member) method

  Parameters:
    `mbr` - Member
  Returns:
    Member - the actual member information, including stay alive
  See Also:
    `Channel.getMember(Member)`

### start

    void start(int svc)
               throws ChannelException

  Starts up the channel. This can be called multiple times for individual services to start The svc parameter can be the logical or value of any constants

  Parameters:
    `svc` - int value of
    Channel.DEFAULT - will start all services
    Channel.MBR_RX_SEQ - starts the membership receiver
    Channel.MBR_TX_SEQ - starts the membership broadcaster
    Channel.SND_TX_SEQ - starts the replication transmitter
    Channel.SND_RX_SEQ - starts the replication receiver
  Throws:
    `ChannelException` - if a startup error occurs or the service is already started.
  See Also:
    `Channel`

### stop

    void stop(int svc)
              throws ChannelException

  Shuts down the channel. This can be called multiple times for individual services to shutdown The svc parameter can be the logical or value of any constants

  Parameters:
    `svc` - int value of
    Channel.DEFAULT - will shutdown all services
    Channel.MBR_RX_SEQ - stops the membership receiver
    Channel.MBR_TX_SEQ - stops the membership broadcaster
    Channel.SND_TX_SEQ - stops the replication transmitter
    Channel.SND_RX_SEQ - stops the replication receiver
  Throws:
    `ChannelException` - if a startup error occurs or the service is already started.
  See Also:
    `Channel`

### fireInterceptorEvent

    void fireInterceptorEvent(ChannelInterceptor.InterceptorEvent event)
