HTML Javadoc documentation for AbstractEventTransport and related classes is provided as part of the Apama documentation set. See the API Reference for Java (Javadoc) for detailed information on the functions that a transport plug-in author needs to implement.

AbstractEventTransport is the constructor. A typical constructor would create a logger using the plug-in name provided (see Logging from IAF plug-ins in Java), make a call to the updateProperties method to deal with the initial property set passed in, and perform any other initialization operations required for the particular transport being developed.

See Communication with the codec layer for information on how the transport layer communicates with the codec layer in both the upstream and downstream directions.
