Class RepositoryDescriptor

java.lang.Object

org.dvb.event.RepositoryDescriptor

All Implemented Interfaces:

ResourceProxy

Direct Known Subclasses:

UserEventRepository

public class RepositoryDescriptor
extends Object
implements ResourceProxy

An instance of this class will be sent to clients of the DVB event API to notify them (through the interface org.davic.resources.ResourceClient) when they are about to lose, or have lost, access to an event source. This object can be used by the application to get the name of the repository from which it will no longer be able to receive events. All instances of RepositoryDescriptor are also instances of UserEventRepository. This class is preserved for backwards compatibility with existing applications.
