Interface Summary
ExternalMTPCommon interface to a specific transport type - generally an implementation of a FIPA specified transport (hence use for inter-platform communications).
InternalMTPCommon interface to a specific transport type - generally a proprietory transport (hence provides an intra-platform communication protocol) Semantics of outgoing() (inehrited from PostParserService) are as follows: If Envelope.getViaACC() is true, the message should be routed to the ACC, rather than the intended-receiver Otherwise, the message is sent to the first address specified within the AID of the intended-receiver field of the envelope only.
MessageReceiverThis interface should be implemented by any class offering incoming message dealing services, either directly or in-directly
MessageSenderThis interface should be implemented by any class offering outgoing message sending services, either directly or in-directly
 

Class Summary
DefaultTransportProviderTODO: Write a description of the class

ExternalMTPBaseProvides a basic implementation of a MTP, based upon the MTPBase object and implementing the ExternalMTP interface

InitialisationExceptionThis exception is generally thrown when a MessageSender / Comms-Transport is unable initialise properly
InternalMTPBaseProvides a basic implementation of a MTP, based upon the MTPBase object and implementing the InternalMTP interface

IORThe IOR class is used to model a CORBA IOR.
MessageProvides an encapsulated entity for the parts which compose an Agent message
MTPBaseContains the abstract functionality that all MTP's require in order to deal with messages - increases code-reuse in MTP implementations

MTSThis class provides a convenient mechanism for interacting with the comms-level transports

TransportProviderThis class should be extended by classes providing factory-like services for the creation of MTP classes.
UnableToSendExceptionThis exception is generally thrown when a MessageSender / CommsTransport is unable to send a message
UnknownProtocolExceptionThis exception is generally thrown when a MessageSender / CommsTransport is unable to send a message with a specified protocol
UnknownTargetExceptionThis exception is generally thrown when a MessageSender / CommsTransport is unable to lookup a target
