Class VectCopy

java.lang.Object
  peersim.vector.VectControl
      peersim.vector.VectCopy

All Implemented Interfaces:

Control, NodeInitializer

public class VectCopy
extends VectControl
implements NodeInitializer

Sets values in a protocol vector by copying the values of another protocol vector. The source is defined by "source", and getter method "getter".

This dynamics class can copy any primitive field in the source protocol to any primitive field in the destination protocol, provided that the former field is associated with a getter method, while the latter is associated with a setter method.

Parameter Detail

source

The identifier of the protocol to be copied. The vector values are copied from this vector.

Constructor Detail

VectCopy

public VectCopy(java.lang.String prefix)

Standard constructor that reads the configuration parameters. Invoked by the simulation engine.

Parameters:

prefix - the configuration prefix for this class

Method Detail

execute

public boolean execute()

Sets values in a protocol vector by copying the values of another protocol vector. The source is defined by "source", and getter method "getter". Single nodes may avoid to be considered in the copy by throwing an UnsupportedOperationException in the getter method; if so, the setter method will not be invoked on the corresponding element of the vector protocol.

Specified by:

execute in interface Control

Returns:

always false

initialize

public void initialize(Node n)

Sets the value by copying the value of another protocol. The source is defined by "source", and getter method "getter".

Specified by:

initialize in interface NodeInitializer

Parameters:

n - the node to initialize
