Constructor Detail

NetObject

public NetObject()

Default constructor

Method Detail

encode

public abstract String encode()

Encode into canonical form.

Returns:

String

equals

public boolean equals(Object that)

An introspection based equality predicate for SIPObjects.

Parameters:

that - is the other object to test against.

Returns:

true if the objects are euqal and false otherwise

match

public boolean match(Object other)

An introspection based predicate matching using a template object. Allows for partial match of two protocl Objects.

Parameters:

other - the match pattern to test against. The match object has to be of the same type (class). Primitive types and non-sip fields that are non null are matched for equality. Null in any field matches anything. Some book-keeping fields are ignored when making the comparison.

Returns:

true if match succeeds false otherwise.

debugDump

public String debugDump()

An introspection based string formatting method. We need this because in this package (although it is an exact duplicate of the one in the superclass) because it needs to access the protected members of the other objects in this class.

Returns:

String

debugDump

public String debugDump(int indent)

Formatter with a given starting indentation (for nested structs).

Parameters:

indent - int to set

Returns:

String

toString

public String toString()

Encode this to a string.

Returns:

string representation for this object.
