Uses of Interface
message.Request

Packages that use Request

architectureInterface	Provides all interfaces, given by this mix' software architecture for each component ("NameOfComponent"Interface.java).
inputOutputHandler	InputOutputHandler component - Handles (mix) message-based connections (see package Message) with communication partners (clients, other mixes and proxy servers) and therefore abstracts from the physic communication channels.
message	Provides different message formats, the InputOutputHandler is capable of transmitting.
outputStrategy	Output Strategy component - Collects messages until an output criterion is fulfilled (certain number of messages collected or timeout reached)

Uses of Request in architectureInterface

Methods in architectureInterface that return Request

Request

InputOutputHandlerInterface.getRequest() Must return an (unprocessed) Request, that was received from a communication partner (e. g. client or other mix), previously.

Methods in architectureInterface with parameters of type Request

void	OutputStrategyInterface.addRequest(Request request) Can be used to add a Request, that shall be put out according to the underlying output strategy.
void	InputOutputHandlerInterface.addRequest(Request request) Must accept the bypassed (already processed) Request and send it to the next communication partner (e. g. mix).
void	InputOutputHandlerInterface.addRequests(Request[] requests) Must accept the bypassed (already processed) Requests and send them to the next communication partner (e. g. mix).

Uses of Request in inputOutputHandler

Fields in inputOutputHandler with type parameters of type Request

private java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentLinkedQueue<Request>	InputOutputHandlerController.requestInputQueue A ConcurrentLinkedQueue, that stores Requests until they are processed.
private java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentLinkedQueue<Request>	InputOutputHandlerController.requestOutputQueue A ConcurrentLinkedQueue, that stores already processed Requests until they are sent (to the next mix or server).

Methods in inputOutputHandler that return Request

protected Request	InputOutputHandlerController.getProcessedRequest() Returns an (already mixed) Request from the requestOutputQueue.
Request	InputOutputHandlerController.getRequest() Returns a Request (previously received, unprocessed) from a communication partner (e. g. client or other mix).

Methods in inputOutputHandler with parameters of type Request

void	InputOutputHandlerController.addRequest(Request request) Adds the bypassed (already mixed) Request to the requestOutputQueue (from where it will be sent to its destination).
void	InputOutputHandlerController.addRequests(Request[] requests) Adds all the bypassed (already mixed) Requests to the requestOutputQueue (from where they will be sent to their destination).
protected void	InputOutputHandlerController.addUnprocessedRequest(Request request) Adds the bypassed (just received) Request to the requestInputQueue (from where it will be taken by component MessageProcessor via getRequest()).
private byte[]	NextMixConnectionHandler.generateInterMixHeader(Request request) Adds an (encrypted) header to a Request containing an identifier for the suiting channel (the identifier is unique for any neighboured mixes).
private byte[]	NextMixConnectionHandler.getPayload(Request request) Returns the payload of the bypassed Request.

Uses of Request in message

Classes in message that implement Request

class	BatchSizeMessage InternalMessage used for communication between two OutputStrategy components, located on neighbored mixes.
class	ChannelEstablishMessage ExternalMessage used to establish a channel, which can transmit ChannelMessages and Replyies.
class	ChannelMessage ExternalMessage used to transmit data on an existing channel.
class	ChannelReleaseMessage ExternalMessage used to release an existing channel.

Uses of Request in outputStrategy

Methods in outputStrategy with parameters of type Request

void	OutputStrategyController.addRequest(Request request) Can be used to add a Request, that shall be put out according to the underlying output strategy.
