java.lang.String	getIP() This is a method used by the Logging Gui to figure out what IP this Node sits on
java.lang.String	getNodeName() This is a method used by the Logging Gui to figure out the "name" of this MDSNode
int	getNodeType() This is a method used by the Logging Gui to see what type of node I am (MDSProxy or MDSNode)
int	getNumConnections() This is a method used by the Logging Gui to know the number of connections
int	getThePort() This is a method used by the Logging Gui to tell what port the MDS is listening for MDSProxies ON
void	run() run() overrides run from Thread; execution starts here.

Constructor Detail

MDS

public MDS()

Constructor for an MDS Node. Creates all necessary internal structures to be used when the class is finall 'run()'

Method Detail

getThePort

public int getThePort()

This is a method used by the Logging Gui to tell what port the MDS is listening for MDSProxies ON

Specified by:

getThePort in interface LoggerInterface

Returns:

the port the MDS is listening to for MDSPRoxy connections

getNodeType

public int getNodeType()

This is a method used by the Logging Gui to see what type of node I am (MDSProxy or MDSNode)

Specified by:

getNodeType in interface LoggerInterface

Returns:

int constant for the type

getIP

public java.lang.String getIP()

This is a method used by the Logging Gui to figure out what IP this Node sits on

Specified by:

getIP in interface LoggerInterface

Returns:

a String of the IP address

getFriends

public java.util.Collection getFriends()

This is a method used by the Logging Gui to figure out who this MDSNode's friends are

Specified by:

getFriends in interface LoggerInterface

Returns:

A collections of all of this nodes friends as InetSocketAddress objects

getNodeName

public java.lang.String getNodeName()

This is a method used by the Logging Gui to figure out the "name" of this MDSNode

Specified by:

getNodeName in interface LoggerInterface

Returns:

a String "name" of this MDSNode

getNumConnections

public int getNumConnections()

This is a method used by the Logging Gui to know the number of connections

Specified by:

getNumConnections in interface LoggerInterface

Returns:

an int of the total current number of PServers and PClients connected

finalize

public void finalize()

This is the finalize method, and should be called whenever this object is disappearing This unallocates all references it must and informs the network that this node is no good anymore

run

public void run()

run() overrides run from Thread; execution starts here. This basically creates all necessary server sockets, and starts the looping routine

Specified by:

run in interface java.lang.Runnable
