Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`receive(Address sender, byte[] buf, int offset, int length)`	Delivers a message from a given sender to the application
`void`	`receive(Address sender, java.io.DataInput in)`
`default void`	`receive(Address sender, java.nio.ByteBuffer buf)`	Delivers a message from a given sender to the application

  - receive
```
void receive(Address sender,
             byte[] buf,
             int offset,
             int length)
```
    Delivers a message from a given sender to the application
    
    Parameters:
    
    sender - The sender of the message
    
    buf - The buffer. An application typically de-serializes data from the buffer into objects used by the application. Note that when receive() returns, it is not safe to use the buffer any longer; if an application needs to use a buffer after this callback returns, it must make a copy.
    
    offset - The offset at which the received data starts
    
    length - The length of the received data
  - receive
```
default void receive(Address sender,
                     java.nio.ByteBuffer buf)
```
    Delivers a message from a given sender to the application
    
    Parameters:
    
    sender - The sender of the message
    
    buf - The buffer. An application typically de-serializes data from the buffer into objects used by the application. Note that when receive() returns, it is not safe to use the buffer any longer; if an application needs to use a buffer after this callback returns, it must make a copy.
    Note that buf could be a direct ByteBuffer.
