Interface ChannelSystem

All Known Implementing Classes:
Epics7ChannelSystem, Epics7ServerChannelSystem
public interface ChannelSystem
ChannelSystem is a wrapper for static methods of Channel subclasses that are public and should be generally visible. This is necessary since there is no abstract static method construct in Java. A subclass of ChannelSystem will handle the request as appropriate by calling static methods of the target Channel subclass.
