Class Message

java.lang.Object
edu.internet2.ndt.Message
public class Message
extends Object
Class to define Message. Messages are composed of a "type" and a body. Some examples of message types are : COMM_FAILURE, SRV_QUEUE, MSG_LOGIN, TEST_PREPARE. Messages are defined to have a "length" field too. Currently, 2 bytes of the message "body" byte array are often used to store length (For example, second/third array positions)

TODO for a later release: It may be worthwhile exploring whether MessageTypes could be merged here instead of being located in NDTConstants. Message/Type could also be made into an enumeration and checks for the current MessageType being assigned could be incorporated.
