Class ServiceID

java.lang.Object

net.jini.core.lookup.ServiceID

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public final class ServiceID
extends Object
implements Serializable

A universally unique identifier (UUID) for registered services. A service ID is a 128-bit value. Service IDs are normally intended to either be built into services at manufacture or deployment time, or generated dynamically by lookup services at registration time.

The most significant long can be decomposed into the following unsigned fields:

 0xFFFFFFFF00000000 time_low
 0x00000000FFFF0000 time_mid
 0x000000000000F000 version
 0x0000000000000FFF time_hi
 

The least significant long can be decomposed into the following unsigned fields:

 0xC000000000000000 variant
 0x3FFF000000000000 clock_seq
 0x0000FFFFFFFFFFFF node
 

The variant field must be 0x2. The version field must be either 0x1 or 0x4. If the version field is 0x4, then the remaining fields are set to values produced by a cryptographically secure random sequence. If the version field is 0x1, then the node field is set to an IEEE 802 address, the clock_seq field is set to a 14-bit random number, and the time_low, time_mid, and time_hi fields are set to the least, middle and most significant bits (respectively) of a 60-bit timestamp measured in 100-nanosecond units since midnight, October 15, 1582 UTC.

Constructor Detail

ServiceID

public ServiceID(long mostSig,
         long leastSig)

Simple constructor.

Parameters:

mostSig - the most significant 64 bits

leastSig - the lease significant 64 bits

ServiceID

public ServiceID(DataInput in)
          throws IOException

Reads in 16 bytes in standard network byte order.

Parameters:

in - the input stream to read 16 bytes from

Throws:

IOException - if there is a problem reading the most and least significant bits

Method Detail

getMostSignificantBits

public long getMostSignificantBits()

Returns the most significant 64 bits of the service ID.

Returns:

a long representing the most significant bits value

getLeastSignificantBits

public long getLeastSignificantBits()

Returns the least significant 64 bits of the service ID.

Returns:

a long representing the least significant bits value

writeBytes

public void writeBytes(DataOutput out)
                throws IOException

Writes out 16 bytes in standard network byte order.

Parameters:

out - the output stream to which 16 bytes should be written

Throws:

IOException - if there is a problem writing the bytes

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Service IDs are equal if they represent the same 128-bit value.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

toString

public String toString()

Returns a 36-character string of five fields separated by hyphens, with each field represented in lowercase hexadecimal with the same number of digits as in the field. The order of fields is: time_low, time_mid, version and time_hi treated as a single field, variant and clock_seq treated as a single field, and node.

Overrides:

toString in class Object
