All Known Implementing Classes:: DefaultPluginChain

public interface PluginChain
extends Conversation

PluginChain acts as a Proxy between the ChatFrame, Plugins and Conversation. PluginChain manages all plugins that are associated with a Conversation. PluginChain is attached to ChatFrame and Conversation. It intercepts Messages send by the user and fowards the Message to each MessengerPlugin. If a Messenger plugin decides to consume a message a null message is returned. The message will not be forwarded to any other plugins or to Conversation. If no null messages are returned by MessengerPlugins PluginChain forwards messages to Conversation which is responsible for the "physical" send operation via network.
