Interface PushConnection

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

AtmospherePushConnection

public interface PushConnection
extends Serializable

Represents a bidirectional ("push") connection between a single UI and its client-side. A single PushConnection instance is bound to a UI as long as push is enabled in that UI, even if the actual connection is momentarily dropped either due to a network failure or as a normal part of the transport mechanism.

This interface is an internal API, only meant to be used by the framework.
