Method Detail

getRegistrars

public ServiceRegistrar[] getRegistrars()

Return the set of registrars to which this event applies. The same array is returned on every call; a copy is not made.

Returns:

the set of registrars to which this event applies.

getGroups

public Map<ServiceRegistrar,String[]> getGroups()

Returns a set that maps to each registrar referenced by this event, the current set of groups in which each registrar is a member.

To retrieve the set of member groups corresponding to any element of the array returned by the getRegistrars method, simply use the desired element from that array as the key to the get method of the Map object returned by this method and cast to String[].

Note that the same Map object is returned on every call to this method; that is, a copy is not made.

Returns:

Map in which the keys are the elements of the array returned by the getRegistrars method of this class; and the values are String[] arrays containing the member groups corresponding to each registrar.
