Class NicKey

java.lang.Object

net.juniper.smgt.gateway.gal.NicKey

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Comparable

public class NicKey
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Comparable

The NicKey represents the key object passed to all the lookup methods defined in the NIC or the SaeLocator interface.

Constructor Detail

NicKey

public NicKey(java.lang.String aKey)

Constructs a NicKey object given the string representation of the key value.

Parameters:

aKey - java.lang.String

Method Detail

addConstraint

public void addConstraint(java.lang.String name,
                 java.lang.String value)

Associates the passed-in constraint information to the current key object.

Parameters:

name - java.lang.String the constraint name (should correspond to a NIC data type)

value - String the constraint string value

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

NicKeys are equal if they have equal keys and equal constraints

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

o - the object to which to test equality

Returns:

boolean true if equal, false otherwise

getConstraints

public java.util.SortedMap getConstraints()

Returns all the constraints associated with the current key object. The returned constraints are in the form of 'name=value' pairs.

Returns:

the Map of constraints if any, null otherwise

getKey

public java.lang.String getKey()

Returns the string representation of the key value.

Returns:

java.langString

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns hash code for this NicKey

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

int

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns the string representation for the key and constraints

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

java.lang.String

getTimeToLive

public long getTimeToLive()

Returns time to live

Returns:

long

setTimeToLive

public long setTimeToLive(long keyTimeToLive,
                 long proxyTimeToLive)

Sets time to live to a min value out of key time and the proxy time to live. If the proxy time to live is equal to IGNORE_TIME, we set time to live to the key time to live.

Parameters:

keyTimeToLive - long

proxyTimeToLive - long

Returns:

long relative time to live in seconds

getCurrentTimeGMT

public static long getCurrentTimeGMT()

Returns the current time in milliseconds (UTC) in the GMT timezone.

Returns:

long - the current time in GMT

See Also:

#System.currentTimeMillis

isOutdated

public boolean isOutdated()

Returns true if value is outdated

Parameters:

proxyTime - long time to live set on the NicProxy

Returns:

boolean

compareTo

public int compareTo(java.lang.Object anotherKey)

Compares to NicKeys by their time to live attribute. If time to live is the same or for one of the keys it is never been set (default), we compare by key attribute. If key attribute is found to be the same, the comparison is performed on constraints.

Specified by:

compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable

Returns:

int
