Field Detail

node

protected Node node

The node which this mulitring node is wrapping

Constructor Detail

GCNode

public GCNode(Node node)

Constructor

Parameters:

node - The node which this multiring node is wrapping

Method Detail

getLocalNodeHandle

public NodeHandle getLocalNodeHandle()

Method which returns the node handle to the local node

Specified by:

getLocalNodeHandle in interface Node

Returns:

A handle to the local node

getId

public Id getId()

Returns the Id of this node

Specified by:

getId in interface Node

Returns:

This node's Id

getIdFactory

public IdFactory getIdFactory()

Returns a factory for Ids specific to this node's protocol.

Specified by:

getIdFactory in interface Node

Returns:

A factory for creating Ids.

registerApplication

public Endpoint registerApplication(Application application,
                                    java.lang.String instance)

This returns a VirtualizedNode specific to the given application and instance name to the application, which the application can then use in order to send an receive messages.

Specified by:

registerApplication in interface Node

Parameters:

application - The Application

instance - An identifier for a given instance

Returns:

The endpoint specific to this applicationk, which can be used for message sending/receiving.

registerApplication

public Endpoint registerApplication(Application application,
                                    int port)

This returns a Endpoint specific to the given application and instance name to the application, which the application can then use in order to send an receive messages. This method allows advanced developers to specify which "port" on the node they wish their application to register as. This "port" determines which of the applications on top of the node should receive an incoming message. NOTE: Use of this method of registering applications is recommended only for advanced users - 99% of all applications should just use the other registerApplication

Specified by:

registerApplication in interface Node

Parameters:

application - The Application

port - The port to use

Returns:

The endpoint specific to this applicationk, which can be used for message sending/receiving.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Prints out the string

Returns:

A string
