Class GCUBEEvent<T extends GCUBETopic,P>

java.lang.Object

org.gcube.common.core.utils.events.GCUBEEvent<T,P>

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the event topic.

P - the type of the event payload.

public class GCUBEEvent<T extends GCUBETopic,P>
extends Object

A base implementation for events handled by GCUBEProducers and consumed by GCUBEConsumers. An event is about a GCUBETopic, carries a payload, has a creation timestamp, and is handled by a producer.

Through type instantiation, events may be constrained to be about GCUBETopics and/or carry given payloads. For example:

a GCUBEEvent<MyTopic,Object> is about a MyTopic but can carry any payload.
a GCUBEEvent<GCUBETopic,MyPayload> is about any GCUBETopic but carries a MyPayload.
a GCUBEEvent<MyTopic,MyPayload> is about a MyTopic and carries a MyPayload.

Type constraints may be specified when the event is created, e.g.:

GCUBEEvent<MyTopic,MyPayload> myEvent = new GCUBEEvent<MyTopic,MyPayload>();

or else by subclassing, e.g.

public class MyEvent extends GCUBEEvent<MyTopic,MyPayload> {...}
...
MyEvent myEvent = new MyEvent();
