Method Detail

getIndex

public int getIndex()

getIndex get the index of this object.

Returns:

return = index of this object.

verifyGuid

public boolean verifyGuid(SecureHash other)

verifyGuid returns whether disseminatable verified or not.

Returns:

true iff this object self-verifies.

verifyGuid

public boolean verifyGuid(SecureHash other,
                          SecureHashBuffer buffer)

verifyGuid returns whether disseminatable verified or not.

Returns:

true iff this object self-verifies.

computeGuid

public SecureHash computeGuid()

computeGuid Compute and return the guid of the disseminatable.

Returns:

the guid of the disseminatable.

computeGuid

public SecureHash computeGuid(SecureHashBuffer buffer)

computeGuid Compute and return the guid of the disseminatable.

Returns:

the guid of the disseminatable.

clone

public Object clone()
             throws CloneNotSupportedException

This is the clone routine for Disseminatable. It deeply clones a disseminatable (meaning that it copies all of the data, not just references).

Returns:

clone of Disseminatable.

CloneNotSupportedException
