ChannelType

This type is a class for model objects.

Represents the specification for a given network protocol (i.e. channel). Each network protocol typically has an inbound and an outbound side, so typical channel implementations (e.g. HTTP, TCP, SSL) will be represented in a descriptor file by two of these objects. This descriptor object bridges the configuration-runtime gap, allowing new channel types to be plugged into a server without requiring the server to have prior knowledge of it.

Attributes Summary
deviceInterface : EString Fully qualified class name for the device-side interface(s) of this channel type. This information is used during configuration & validation to ensure that chains are properly consituted.
applicationInterface : EString Fully qualified class name for the application-side interface of this channel type. This information is used during configuration & validation to ensure that chains are properly consituted.
defaultWeight : EInt Default relative weighting value for use during traffic discrimination. If no weight value is specified in a channel configuration object, this weight should be used instead.
kind : ChannelKind Determines the function that this type of channel performs.
