| /** |
| * A byte message is not serialized and deserialized by the channel |
| * instead it is sent as a byte array<br> |
| * By default Tribes uses java serialization when it receives an object |
| * to be sent over the wire. Java serialization is not the most |
| * efficient of serializing data, and Tribes might not even |
| * have access to the correct class loaders to deserialize the object properly. |
| * <br> |
| * The ByteMessage class is a class where the channel when it receives it will |
| * not attempt to perform serialization, instead it will simply stream the <code>getMessage()</code> |
| * bytes.<br> |
| * If you are using multiple applications on top of Tribes you should add some sort of header |
| * so that you can decide with the <code>ChannelListener.accept()</code> whether this message was intended |
| * for you. |
