Class ConnectionRelativeTime

java.lang.Object
  net.jini.core.constraint.ConnectionRelativeTime

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, InvocationConstraint, RelativeTimeConstraint

public final class ConnectionRelativeTime
extends Object
implements RelativeTimeConstraint, Serializable

Represents a constraint on the maximum amount of time to wait for a network connection to be established. The precise meaning of this will vary across communication mechanisms, but in the typical case of Socket-based communication, the intention is that this constraint controls the timeout parameter of the connect method.

The duration is translated into an absolute end time at the point of a remote call by adding the caller's current time.

2.0

Constructor Detail

ConnectionRelativeTime

public ConnectionRelativeTime(long time)

Creates a constraint with the specified duration.

Parameters:

time - the maximum connection duration in milliseconds

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the argument is less than zero

Method Detail

getTime

public long getTime()

Returns the maximum connection duration in milliseconds.

Returns:

the maximum connection duration in milliseconds

makeAbsolute

public InvocationConstraint makeAbsolute(long baseTime)

Returns a ConnectionAbsoluteTime instance with time obtained by adding the specified base time argument to the duration value from this instance. If the addition results in overflow, a time value of Long.MAX_VALUE is used.

Specified by:

makeAbsolute in interface RelativeTimeConstraint

Parameters:

baseTime - an absolute time, specified in milliseconds from midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC

Returns:

a constraint that has the relative times converted to absolute times by adding the specified absolute time to each relative time

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hash code value for this object.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Two instances of this class are equal if both have the same duration.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string representation of this object.

Overrides:

toString in class Object
