               throws java.io.IOException

Specified by:

serialize in interface RawPastContent

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getType

public short getType()

Specified by:

getType in interface RawPastContent

checkInsert

public PastContent checkInsert(Id id,
                               PastContent existingContent)
                        throws PastException

Description copied from interface: PastContent

Checks if a insert operation should be allowed. Invoked when a Past node receives an insert request and it is a replica root for the id; invoked on the object to be inserted. This method determines the effect of an insert operation on an object that already exists: it computes the new value of the stored object, as a function of the new and the existing object.

Specified by:

checkInsert in interface PastContent

Parameters:

id - the key identifying the object

Returns:

null, if the operation is not allowed; else, the new object to be stored on the local node.

Throws:

PastException

getHandle

public PastContentHandle getHandle(Past local)

Description copied from interface: PastContent

Produces a handle for this content object. The handle is retrieved and returned to the client as a result of the Past.lookupHandles() method.

Specified by:

getHandle in interface PastContent

Returns:

the handle

getId

public Id getId()

Description copied from interface: PastContent

Returns the Id under which this object is stored in Past.

Specified by:

getId in interface PastContent

Returns:

the id

isMutable

public boolean isMutable()

Description copied from interface: PastContent

States if this content object is mutable. Mutable objects are not subject to dynamic caching in Past.

Specified by:

isMutable in interface PastContent

Returns:

true if this object is mutable, else false

getVersion

public long getVersion()

Description copied from interface: GCPastContent

Returns the version number associated with this PastContent object - version numbers are designed to be monotonically increasing numbers which signify different versions of the same object.

Specified by:

getVersion in interface GCPastContent

Returns:

The version number of this object

getHandle

public GCPastContentHandle getHandle(GCPast local,
                                     long expiration)

Description copied from interface: GCPastContent

Produces a handle for this content object. The handle is retrieved and returned to the client as a result of the Past.lookupHandles() method.

Specified by:

getHandle in interface GCPastContent

Returns:

the handle

getMetadata

public GCPastMetadata getMetadata(long expiration)

Description copied from interface: GCPastContent

Returns the metadata which should be stored with this object. Allows applications to add arbitrary items into the object's metadata.

Specified by:

getMetadata in interface GCPastContent

Returns:

the handle
