java.lang.Object
  de.unikassel.android.sdcframework.util.AbstractChainWorker<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the workers client type

All Implemented Interfaces:

ChainWorker<T>

Direct Known Subclasses:

public abstract class AbstractChainWorker<T>
extends Object
implements ChainWorker<T>

Generic abstract Implementation of the "Chain of Responsibility" pattern..

Extending classes have to implement the process(Object) method and can override the doWork(Object) method if necessary.
