public class STATE_TRANSFER
extends Protocol
implements RequestHandler
State transfer layer. Upon receiving a GET_STATE event from JChannel, a MAKE_COPY message is sent to all members. When the originator receives MAKE_COPY, it queues all messages to the channel. When another member receives the message, it asks the JChannel to provide it with a copy of the current state (GetStateEvent is received by application, ReturnState() sends state down the stack). Then the current layer sends a unicast RETURN_STATE message to the coordinator, which returns the cached copy. When the state is received by the originator, the GET_STATE sender is unblocked with a GET_STATE_OK event up the stack (unless it already timed out).

Requires QUEUE layer on top.
