Class InputChannelVector

java.lang.Object
  nodenet.InputChannelVector

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class InputChannelVector

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.io.Serializable

InputChannelVector is something which acts like a Vector of InputChannels instead of Objects.

The methods of this class were previously synchronized, but Sun's Vector class uses synchronized methods. Since our only data field is the already synchronized Vector, locking on this object is redundant.
