Listening for Topic Messages
The Message Listener is used by the ITopic interface. It notifies when a message is received for the registered topic.
To write a Message Listener class, you implement the MessageListener interface and its method onMessage, which is invoked
when a message is received for the registered topic.
The following is an example Message Listener class.
public class Sample implements MessageListener<MyEvent> {
public static void main( String[] args ) {
Sample sample = new Sample();
HazelcastInstance hazelcastInstance = Hazelcast.newHazelcastInstance();
ITopic topic = hazelcastInstance.getTopic( "default" );
topic.addMessageListener( sample );
topic.publish( new MyEvent() );
}
public void onMessage( Message<MyEvent> message ) {
MyEvent myEvent = message.getMessageObject();
System.out.println( "Message received = " + myEvent.toString() );
if ( myEvent.isHeavyweight() ) {
messageExecutor.execute( new Runnable() {
public void run() {
doHeavyweightStuff( myEvent );
}
} );
}
}
