Interface OutboundRequestHandle

public interface OutboundRequestHandle

Associates information with a request that is being sent to a ConnectionEndpoint. The same handle is associated with all OutboundRequest instances produced by the same OutboundRequestIterator (that is, all attempts to send the same request).

An OutboundRequestHandle is an opaque cookie provided to a ConnectionManager by a connection-based Endpoint implementation (via ConnectionManager.newRequest) in order to identify the request in later invocations of certain ConnectionEndpoint and Connection methods. The handle encapsulates information about the constraints for the request and any other request-specific information needed by the transport implementation.
