For + * each child-side message manager, there is always exactly one + * corresponding parent-side message manager that it sends messages + * to. However, for each parent-side message manager, there may be + * either one or many child-side managers it can message. + * + * Message managers that always have exactly one "other side" are of + * type nsIMessageSender. Parent-side message managers that have many + * "other sides" are of type nsIMessageBroadcaster. + * + * Child-side message managers can send synchronous messages to their + * parent side, but not the other way around. + * + * There are two realms of message manager hierarchies. One realm + * approximately corresponds to DOM elements, the other corresponds to + * process boundaries. + * + * Message managers corresponding to DOM elements + * ============================================== + * + * In this realm of message managers, there are + * - "frame message managers" which correspond to frame elements + * - "window message managers" which correspond to top-level chrome + * windows + * - "group message managers" which correspond to named message + * managers with a specific window MM as the parent + * - the "global message manager", on the parent side. See below. + * + * The DOM-realm message managers can communicate in the ways shown by + * the following diagram. The parent side and child side can + * correspond to process boundaries, but don't always. + * + * Parent side Child side + * ------------- ------------ + * global MMg + * | + * +-->window MMw1 + * | | + * | +-->frame MMp1_1<------------>frame MMc1_1 + * | | + * | +-->frame MMp1_2<------------>frame MMc1_2 + * | | + * | +-->group MMgr1 + * | | | + * | | +-->frame MMp2_1<------->frame MMc2_1 + * | | | + * | | +-->frame MMp2_2<------->frame MMc2_2 + * | | + * | +-->group MMgr2 + * | | ... + * | | + * | ... + * | + * +-->window MMw2 + * ... + * + * For example: a message sent from MMc1_1, from the child side, is + * sent only to MMp1_1 on the parent side. However, note that all + * message managers in the hierarchy above MMp1_1, in this diagram + * MMw1 and MMg, will also notify their message listeners when the + * message arrives. + * + * A message sent from MMc2_1 will be sent to MMp2_1 and also notify + * all message managers in the hierarchy above that, including the + * group message manager MMgr1. + + * For example: a message broadcast through the global MMg on the + * parent side would be broadcast to MMw1, which would transitively + * broadcast it to MMp1_1, MM1p_2. The message would next be + * broadcast to MMgr1, which would broadcast it to MMp2_1 and MMp2_2. + * After that it would broadcast to MMgr2 and then to MMw2, and so + * on down the hierarchy. + * + * ***** PERFORMANCE AND SECURITY WARNING ***** + * Messages broadcast through the global MM and window or group MMs + * can result in messages being dispatched across many OS processes, + * and to many processes with different permissions. Great care + * should be taken when broadcasting. + * + * Interfaces + * ---------- + * + * The global MMg and window MMw's are message broadcasters implementing + * nsIMessageBroadcaster while the frame MMp's are simple message senders + * (nsIMessageSender). Their counterparts in the content processes are + * message senders implementing nsIContentFrameMessageManager. + * + * nsIMessageListenerManager + * / \ + * nsIMessageSender nsIMessageBroadcaster + * | + * nsISyncMessageSender (content process/in-process only) + * | + * nsIContentFrameMessageManager (content process/in-process only) + * | + * nsIInProcessContentFrameMessageManager (in-process only) + * + * + * Message managers in the chrome process can also be QI'ed to nsIFrameScriptLoader. + * + * + * Message managers corresponding to process boundaries + * ==================================================== + * + * The second realm of message managers is the "process message + * managers". With one exception, these always correspond to process + * boundaries. The picture looks like + * + * Parent process Child processes + * ---------------- ----------------- + * global (GPPMM) + * | + * +-->parent in-process PIPMM<-->child in-process CIPPMM + * | + * +-->parent (PPMM1)<------------------>child (CPMM1) + * | + * +-->parent (PPMM2)<------------------>child (CPMM2) + * ... + * + * Note, PIPMM and CIPPMM both run in the parent process. + * + * For example: the parent-process PPMM1 sends messages to the + * child-process CPMM1. + * + * For example: CPMM1 sends messages directly to PPMM1. The global GPPMM + * will also notify their message listeners when the message arrives. + * + * For example: messages sent through the global GPPMM will be + * dispatched to the listeners of the same-process, CIPPMM, CPMM1, + * CPMM2, etc. + * + * ***** PERFORMANCE AND SECURITY WARNING ***** + * Messages broadcast through the GPPMM can result in messages + * being dispatched across many OS processes, and to many processes + * with different permissions. Great care should be taken when + * broadcasting. + * + * Requests sent to parent-process message listeners should usually + * have replies scoped to the requesting CPMM.
