public interface RecordMessage extends Message

Base interface for all Record messages.

 

You do not need to implement this interface. Instead use one of its derived interfaces:

 

 

Objects implementing these interfaces cannot be instantiated directly, but can be constructed using the MessageFactory that is available on the Publisher interface.
