Constructor Detail

AbstractCascadeIDEntry

public AbstractCascadeIDEntry(MixCascade a_cascade,
                              long a_expireTime)
                       throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Creates a new CascadeIDEntry from the mix IDs of a given cascade.

Parameters:

a_cascade - MixCascade

a_expireTime - the time in ms when this databse entry expires

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the given cascade is null

                              long a_expireTime)
                       throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Creates a new CascadeIDEntry from the mix IDs of a given cascade.

Parameters:

a_entry - MixCascade

a_expireTime - the time in ms when this databse entry expires

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the given AbstractCascadeIDEntry is null

AbstractCascadeIDEntry

public AbstractCascadeIDEntry(org.w3c.dom.Element a_xmlElement)
                       throws XMLParseException

Throws:

XMLParseException

Method Detail

getCascadeId

public final java.lang.String getCascadeId()

The cascade ID, that means the ID of the first mix in the cascade.

Returns:

the ID of the first mix in the cascade

isReferencedCascade

public boolean isReferencedCascade(MixCascade a_cascade)

getId

public final java.lang.String getId()

The concatenated ID of all mixes in the cascade.

Specified by:

getId in class AbstractDatabaseEntry

Returns:

the concatenated ID of all mixes in the cascade

getLastUpdate

public long getLastUpdate()

Description copied from class: AbstractDatabaseEntry

Returns the time in milliseconds when this db entry was created from the origin instance. Never (!) insert the local creation time here, as this will DoS the InfoServices in an endless loop.

Specified by:

getLastUpdate in class AbstractDatabaseEntry

Returns:

the time in milliseconds when this db entry was created from the origin instance

getVersionNumber

public final long getVersionNumber()

Returns version number which is used to determine the more recent infoservice entry, if two entries are compared (higher version number -> more recent entry).

Specified by:

getVersionNumber in class AbstractDatabaseEntry

Returns:

The version number for this entry.

toXmlElement

public org.w3c.dom.Element toXmlElement(org.w3c.dom.Document a_doc)

Description copied from interface: IXMLEncodable

Return an element that can be appended to the document. This Method must not change the document in any way!

Specified by:

toXmlElement in interface IXMLEncodable

Parameters:

a_doc - a document

Returns:

the interface as xml element
