## rice.pastry.socket
Class SocketNodeHandle

    java.lang.Object
      java.util.Observable
          rice.p2p.commonapi.NodeHandle
              rice.pastry.NodeHandle
                  rice.pastry.dist.DistNodeHandle
                      rice.pastry.socket.SocketNodeHandle

All Implemented Interfaces:
  LocalNodeI, MessageReceiver, java.util.Observer, java.io.Serializable

public class SocketNodeHandle
extends DistNodeHandle

Class which represents the address and nodeId of a remote node. In the socket protocol, it simply represents this information - all other details are managed by the local nodes.

Field Detail

### eaddress

    protected EpochInetSocketAddress eaddress

  DESCRIBE THE FIELD

### LIVENESS_DEAD_FOREVER

    public static final int LIVENESS_DEAD_FOREVER

  DESCRIBE THE FIELD

    Constant Field Values

### DEFAULT_PROXIMITY

    public static int DEFAULT_PROXIMITY

  DESCRIBE THE FIELD

Constructor Detail

### SocketNodeHandle

    public SocketNodeHandle(EpochInetSocketAddress address,
                            NodeId nodeId)

  Constructor

Parameters:
  `nodeId` - This node handle's node Id.
  `address` - DESCRIBE THE PARAMETER

Method Detail

### getEpochAddress

    public EpochInetSocketAddress getEpochAddress()

  Gets the EpochAddress attribute of the SocketNodeHandle object

  Returns:
    The EpochAddress value

### getLiveness

    public int getLiveness()

  Returns the last known liveness information about the Pastry node associated with this handle. Invoking this method does not cause network activity.

  Specified by:
    `getLiveness` in class `NodeHandle`
  Returns:
    true if the node is alive, false otherwise.

### isLocal

    public boolean isLocal()

  Method which returns whether or not this node handle is on its home node.

  Returns:
    Whether or not this handle is local

### checkLiveness

    public boolean checkLiveness()

  Method which FORCES a check of liveness of the remote node. Note that this method should ONLY be called by internal Pastry maintenance algorithms - this is NOT to be used by applications. Doing so will likely cause a blowup of liveness traffic.

  Overrides:
    `checkLiveness` in class `NodeHandle`
  Returns:
    true if node is currently alive.

### receiveMessage

    public void receiveMessage(Message msg)

  Called to send a message to the node corresponding to this handle.

  Parameters:
    `msg` - Message to be delivered, may or may not be routeMessage.

### bootstrap

    public void bootstrap(Message msg)

  Method which is used by Pastry to start the bootstrapping process on the local node using this handle as the bootstrap handle. Default behavior is simply to call receiveMessage(msg), but transport layer implementations may care to perform other tasks by overriding this method, since the node is not technically part of the ring yet.

  Overrides:
    `bootstrap` in class `NodeHandle`
  Parameters:
    `msg` - the bootstrap message.

### toString

    public java.lang.String toString()

  Returns a String representation of this DistNodeHandle. This method is designed to be called by clients using the node handle, and is provided in order to ensure that the right node handle is being talked to.

  Specified by:
    `toString` in class `DistNodeHandle`
  Returns:
    A String representation of the node handle.

### equals

    public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

  Equivalence relation for nodehandles. They are equal if and only if their corresponding NodeIds are equal.

  Specified by:
    `equals` in class `DistNodeHandle`
  Parameters:
    `obj` - the other nodehandle .
  Returns:
    true if they are equal, false otherwise.

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

  Hash codes for node handles. It is the hashcode of their corresponding NodeId's.

  Specified by:
    `hashCode` in class `DistNodeHandle`
  Returns:
    a hash code.

### proximity

    public int proximity()

  Returns the last known proximity information about the Pastry node associated with this handle. Invoking this method does not cause network activity. Smaller values imply greater proximity. The exact nature and interpretation of the proximity metric implementation-specific.

  Specified by:
    `proximity` in class `NodeHandle`
  Returns:
    the proximity metric value

### ping

    public boolean ping()

  Ping the node. Refreshes the cached liveness status and proximity value of the Pastry node associated with this. Invoking this method causes network activity.

  Specified by:
    `ping` in class `NodeHandle`
  Returns:
    true if node is currently alive.

### afterSetLocalNode

    public void afterSetLocalNode()

  Method which registers this handle with the node that it is currently on.

  Overrides:
    `afterSetLocalNode` in class `NodeHandle`

### update

    public void update(java.util.Observable o,
                       java.lang.Object obj)

  DESCRIBE THE METHOD

  Parameters:
    `o` - DESCRIBE THE PARAMETER
    `obj` - DESCRIBE THE PARAMETER

### update

    protected void update(java.lang.Object update)

  Method which allows the observers of this socket node handle to be updated. This method sets this object as changed, and then sends out the update.

  Parameters:
    `update` - The update
