setAuthClass

public void setAuthClass(String class_name)
                  throws Exception

Throws:

getAuthToken

public AuthToken getAuthToken()

setAuthToken

public void setAuthToken(AuthToken token)

getConfigurableObjects

protected List<Object> getConfigurableObjects()

Description copied from class: Protocol

After configuring the protocol itself from the properties defined in the XML config, a protocol might have additional objects which need to be configured. This callback allows a protocol developer to configure those other objects. This call is guaranteed to be invoked after the protocol itself has been configured. See AUTH for an example.

Overrides:

getConfigurableObjects in class Protocol

Returns:

init

public void init()
          throws Exception

Description copied from class: Protocol

Called after instance has been created (null constructor) and before protocol is started. Properties are already set. Other protocols are not yet connected and events cannot yet be sent.

Overrides:

init in class Protocol

Throws:

Exception - Thrown if protocol cannot be initialized successfully. This will cause the ProtocolStack to fail, so the channel constructor will throw an exception

up

public Object up(Event evt)

An event was received from the layer below. Usually the current layer will want to examine the event type and - depending on its type - perform some computation (e.g. removing headers from a MSG event type, or updating the internal membership list when receiving a VIEW_CHANGE event). Finally the event is either a) discarded, or b) an event is sent down the stack using down_prot.down() or c) the event (or another event) is sent up the stack using up_prot.up().

Overrides:

up in class Protocol

sendRejectionMessage

protected void sendRejectionMessage(byte type,
                        Address dest,
                        String error_msg)

sendJoinRejectionMessage

protected void sendJoinRejectionMessage(Address dest,
                            String error_msg)

sendMergeRejectionMessage

protected void sendMergeRejectionMessage(Address dest)

down

public Object down(Event evt)

An event is to be sent down the stack. The layer may want to examine its type and perform some action on it, depending on the event's type. If the event is a message MSG, then the layer may need to add a header to it (or do nothing at all) before sending it down the stack using down_prot.down(). In case of a GET_ADDRESS event (which tries to retrieve the stack's address from one of the bottom layers), the layer may need to send a new response event back up the stack using up_prot.up().

Overrides:

down in class Protocol

getGMSHeader

protected static GMS.GmsHeader getGMSHeader(Event evt)

Get the header from a GMS message

Parameters:

evt - The event object passed in to AUTH

Returns:

A GmsHeader object or null if the event contains a message of a different type
