All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface Message

The basic message interface that all messages must be implement. Messages are normally generated from MSDL files.

Normally, there should be no need to manually extend this class, as broadcast messages are automatically generated from a MSDL file.

Any class implementing this interface should also have a public static final MessageSerializer SERIALIZER field. To allow for reading the serialized message back again.

Any implementation of this message must contain a public static final String NAME = "name" field. With the full name of this broadcast message.
