Method Detail

dispatch

void dispatch(Packet packet)

Dispatches a packet to the appropriate service. This method is likely going to be called from the IO system when it takes a Packet of the wire and offers it to be processed by the system. The implementation should not throw any exception; they should be handled by the PacketDispatcher. The IO thread should not be bothered by such a task. Important: Don't do anything time consuming on the thread that calls the dispatch method. It can quickly cause bad performance on the io system.

Parameters:

packet - the Packet to dispatch.
