public class Subscriber extends TypedAtomicActor
global is false (the default), then this subscriber
will only see instances of Publisher that are under the
control of the same director. That is, it can
be at a different level of the hierarchy, or in an entirely different
composite actor, as long as the relevant composite actors are
transparent (have no director). If global is true,
then the publisher may be anywhere in the model, as long as its
global parameter is also true.
Any number of instances of Subscriber can subscribe to the same channel.
This actor actually has a hidden input port that is connected to the publisher via hidden "liberal links" (links that are allowed to cross levels of the hierarchy). Consequently, any data dependencies that the director might assume on a regular "wired" connection will also be assumed across Publisher-Subscriber pairs. Similarly, type constraints will propagate across Publisher-Subscriber pairs. That is, the type of the Subscriber output will match the type of the Publisher input.
