public abstract class SupplyChainHandler

extends nl.tudelft.simulation.content.Handler

SupplyChainHandler is the SupplyChainActor specific abstract Handler class. It has a SupplyChainActor as owner, making it unnecessary to cast the Actor all the time to a SupplyChainActor.
The generic SupplyChainHandler already has the methods to check whether the content is of the right type, and methods to do basic filtering on product and on the partner with whom the owner is dealing. This makes it very easy to have different handlers for e.g. production orders and for purchase orders; it can be done on the basis of the message sender (in case of production orders the owner itself), or on the basis of the product type.
