public class Broker

extends java.lang.Object

A Broker is a collection of Routers. A Broker is initialized from a broker specification, which is an xml file containing descriptions of Sources, Sinks, Filters, Mappers and Routers. Once initialized, each Router in the Broker runs as a thread, accepting messages from its Source and routing them to one or more Sinks, possibly applying transformations (via Filters) in the process. Several example broker specifications should be included in the Samples directory that is included in the Proteus distribution.
