[static, package]

synchronized void de.fu_berlin.inf.dpp.project.internal.ActivityHandler.handleIncomingActivities

(

List< IActivity >

activities

)

Transforms and dispatches the activities. The IActivityHandlerCallback callback} will be notified about the results.

Parameters:

activities

an immutable list containing the activities

8, Activity sending, Activity Server:

This is where the server receives activities. The Server may transform activities again if necessary and afterward sends them to the correct clients.

9, Activity sending, Client Receiver:

This is the part where clients will receive activities. These activities are put into the queue of the activity dispatcher. This queue is consumed by the dispatchThread, which transforms activities again if necessary, and then forwards it to the SarosSession.

void de.fu_berlin.inf.dpp.project.internal.ActivityHandler.handleOutgoingActivities

(

final List< IActivity >

activities

)

6, Activity sending, Transforming the IActivity (Client):

This function will transform activities and then forward them to the callback. E.g. this will turn TextEditActivity into Jupiter activities.

Saros uses a client-server-architecture. All activities will first be send to the server located at the Host. The Host himself also acts as a client, but houses an additional server-part. Transforms and determines the recipients of the activities. The IActivityHandlerCallback callback} will be notified about the results.

Parameters:

activities

an immutable list containing the activities
