Modifier and Type	Method and Description
static java.lang.Object	decodeHlaValue(HlaSubscriber hs, Type type, byte[] buffer) This generic method calls the EncodingHelpers API provided by CERTI to handle type decoding operations for HLA value attribute that has been reflected (RAV).
static byte[]	encodeHlaValue(HlaPublisher hp, Token tok) This generic method calls the EncodingHelpers API or the MessageBuffer API provided by CERTI to handle data encoding operation for updated value of HLA attribute that will be published to the federation.

decodeHlaValue

public static java.lang.Object decodeHlaValue(HlaSubscriber hs,
                                              Type type,
                                              byte[] buffer)
                                       throws IllegalActionException

This generic method calls the EncodingHelpers API provided by CERTI to handle type decoding operations for HLA value attribute that has been reflected (RAV).

Parameters:

hs - The targeted HLA subscriber actor.

type - The type to decode the token.

buffer - The encoded value to decode.

Returns:

The decoded value as an object.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the token is not handled or the decoding has failed.

encodeHlaValue

public static byte[] encodeHlaValue(HlaPublisher hp,
                                    Token tok)
                             throws IllegalActionException

This generic method calls the EncodingHelpers API or the MessageBuffer API provided by CERTI to handle data encoding operation for updated value of HLA attribute that will be published to the federation.

Parameters:

hp - The HLA publisher actor which sends the HLA attribute value.

tok - The token to encode, i.e. the HLA attribute value to encode.

Returns:

The encoded value as an array of byte.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the token is not handled or the encoding has failed.
