All Implemented Interfaces:

IMessageParse, IMetaOperations, IParseOperations

public class MessageListener
extends Listener
implements IMessageParse, IParseOperations, IMetaOperations

Each MessageListener object takes messages for a specified communication protocol and translates them to a data description object describing the message in terms of the message name, and a set of fields where the fields contains the message's values.
