public class ProtocolID
extends Object

Protocol packets, especially those notifying the addition, deletion of gateways, nodes and address generation requests need to have unique ID associated with it. This class is responsible for the generation of unique IDs.

Constructor Summary

ProtocolID(byte[] idBytes)
This allows us to unmarshall a protocolID.

Method Summary

boolean	equals(Object obj) Compares two objects for equality.
byte[]	getBytes() This method marshalls a protocolID.
int	hashCode() Generates a hash code for the receiver.

Constructor Detail

ProtocolID

public ProtocolID(byte[] idBytes)

This allows us to unmarshall a protocolID.

Parameters:

idBytes - The bytes contained in the stream received at a server node

Method Detail

getBytes

public byte[] getBytes()

This method marshalls a protocolID. The length of the byte stream that is marshalled is 10

Returns:

The marshalled byte stream.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Generates a hash code for the receiver. This method is supported primarily for hash tables, such as those provided in java.util. If two objects are equal (equals(Object) returns true) they must have the same hash code

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

an integer hash code for the receiver

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Compares two objects for equality. Returns a boolean that indicates whether this object is equivalent to the specified object. This method is used when an object is stored in a hashtable.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

obj - the Object to compare with
