Interface AntListener

All Superinterfaces:

Remote

All Known Implementing Classes:

LocalNest, Nest

public interface AntListener

extends Remote

This interface must be implemented by nests in order to receive ants from other nests. The main method of the interface is deliver(). The interface is designed as a remote interface (i.e., it extends Remote and method deliver() delivers RemoteException, in order to enable the development of implementation based on RMI. Note, however, that implementations of this class are not required to be based on RMI.
