/**
 * 
 * Represents an event returned by channel.receive(), as a result 
 * of another channel instance requesting a state from this channel. Other channel 
 * has to invoke channel.getState() indicating intent of state 
 * retrieval. 
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * Allows applications using a channel in a pull mode to receive 
 * StreamingGetStateEvent event and thus provide state to requsting 
 * channel instance. Channels have to be configured with 
 * STREAMING_STATE_TRANSFER protocol rather than the default 
 * STATE_TRANSFER protocol in order to receive this event 
 *  
 * 

 * 
 * The following code demonstrates how to pull events from a channel, processing 
 * StreamingGetStateEvent and sending hypothetical state through 
 * OutputStream reference.
 * 
 * 
 *  Object obj=channel.receive(0);
 *  if(obj instanceof StreamingGetStateEvent) {
 *   	StreamingGetStateEvent evt=(StreamingGetStateEvent)obj;
 *    	OutputStream oos = null;
 *		try {			
 *			oos = new ObjectOutputStream(evt.getArg());			
 *			oos.writeObject(state);   
 *	    	oos.flush();
 *		} catch (Exception e) {} 
 *		finally
 *		{
 *			try {				
 *				oos.close();
 *			} catch (IOException e) {
 *				System.err.println(e);
 *			}
 *		}                
 *   }
