[Rcosjava-general] messaging system

[Peggy N. <pe...@ip...>]

Hi Andrew,
A couple of questions:

I'm looking at the ProcessSwitch message here, but that shouldn't be 
important.

Universal messages: the postOffice deals with universal messages by 
adding them to both the postOfficeMessage queue and the 
localMessage queue. For the osPostOffice then, is it the case that it 
would recieve universal messages sent from OS components twice? 
First of all localSendMessage() is called from the original 
sendMessage() method, and then localSendMessage() is called again 
from postOfficeDeliverMessage() (when we're delivering messages 
out to everybody/thing).

I don't see how this would be a problem, I'm just curious.

Also, is there any reason why the OSOffice doesn't have a call to 
super()? Or, more to the point, super(newId)?  Do you think the 
default does the job adequately? I can't quite see how the post 
offices get registered without it.

Thanks,
Peggy.
