Detailed Description

Provides access to a collection of middleware-loaned samples.

The samples in this container are loaned from the middleware and must be returned at some point.

To return the loan, use com.rti.connext.infrastructure.Sample<T>.Iterator<T>.close() , from java.io.Closeable or (since Java 7) enclose this object within a try-with-resources block (see Taking loaned samples).

Alternatively, if the loan is not returned by the application code, it will be automatically returned when this object is garbage-collected.

The contents of this container should not be modified and references to the samples it contains are only valid before the loan is returned.

This interface extends java.util.ListIterator<Sample<T>>. However any operations that modify the underlying list are not supported.

Template Parameters

T	The data type of the contained Samples
