Interface PostOffice

public interface PostOffice

extends Session

The main interface to a simplistic messaging protocol. Users of the PostOffice can send a message to another party or retreive a reference to a Mailbox from which messages can be read. The mail box can be used to send and receive messages directly. These classes provide no security or authentication so the using application must guarantees these separately and programatically.
