DistributedReceiver

public DistributedReceiver()

Method Detail

get

public Token get()
          throws NoTokenException

Empty implementation of the inherited abstract method.

Specified by:

get in interface Receiver

Specified by:

get in class AbstractReceiver

Returns:

A token read from the receiver.

Throws:

NoTokenException - If there is no token.

hasRoom

public boolean hasRoom()

Empty implementation of the inherited abstract method.

Specified by:

hasRoom in interface Receiver

Specified by:

hasRoom in class AbstractReceiver

Returns:

True if the next call to put() will not result in a NoRoomException.

hasRoom

public boolean hasRoom(int numberOfTokens)

Empty implementation of the inherited abstract method.

Specified by:

hasRoom in interface Receiver

Specified by:

hasRoom in class AbstractReceiver

Parameters:

numberOfTokens - The number of tokens to put into this receiver.

Returns:

True if the next numberOfTokens calls to put() will not result in a NoRoomException.

hasToken

public boolean hasToken()

Empty implementation of the inherited abstract method.

Specified by:

hasToken in interface Receiver

Specified by:

hasToken in class AbstractReceiver

Returns:

True if the next call to get() will not result in a NoTokenException.

hasToken

public boolean hasToken(int numberOfTokens)

Empty implementation of the inherited abstract method.

Specified by:

hasToken in interface Receiver

Specified by:

hasToken in class AbstractReceiver

Parameters:

numberOfTokens - The number of tokens desired.

Returns:

True if the next numberOfTokens calls to get() will not result in a NoTokenException.

put

public void put(Token token)
         throws IllegalActionException

Forward copies of the token to the distributed services specified in the servicesReceiversListMap. //TODO:This could be done in parallel. Is it worth the effort?

Specified by:

put in interface Receiver

Specified by:

put in class AbstractReceiver

Parameters:

token - The token to be forwarded, or null to forward no token.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the put fails (e.g. because of incompatible types).

setServicesReceiversListMap

public void setServicesReceiversListMap(java.util.HashMap servRecListMap)

Specify the servicesReceiversListMap that contains a sequence of services and IDs of receivers in the service.

Parameters:

servRecListMap - The map that contains a sequence of services and IDs of receivers.
