Method Detail

communicationsStateChange

public void communicationsStateChange(CommunicationsEvent e)

This method is invoked whenever the communications state is invoked immediately before and after the state of the communications changes. The state field in CommunicationsEvent determines which state change is about to or has occured.

isPassiveCommunicationsListener

public boolean isPassiveCommunicationsListener()

This method determines if the communications listener is a passive or active listener. Typically a passive listener registers with the communications system and responds to events as they occur. An active listener typically registeres with the communications system only for the duration of the task (i.e. user editing a file, or outstanding communications request.) The user will be prompted on a disconnect if there are any active communication listeners registered.

Returns:

false if the communications listener is an active listener, true if the communications listener is a passive listener.
