  - - org.apache.catalina.tribes.group.GroupChannel

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Channel, ChannelInterceptor, Heartbeat, ManagedChannel, MembershipListener

      public class GroupChannel
      extends ChannelInterceptorBase
      implements ManagedChannel

  The default implementation of a Channel.
  The GroupChannel manages the replication channel. It coordinates message being sent and received with membership announcements. The channel has an chain of interceptors that can modify the message or perform other logic.
  It manages a complete group, both membership and replication.
