Detailed Description

Abstract class representing a the name of a persistent representation Implementations will derive a class from this.

Each implementation of Name provides a string representation - for instance a filename which is contructed from information about the object to be persisted and some implementation defined way of getting e.g. the path.

For compatability with C++, the package separator is usually "::" rather than ".". This class also provides static methods to convert which implementations should use to make this transparent to the user.

Member Function Documentation

String Sct.Name.getClassName (   )

Gets the class name of the object this Name represents. Returns: the Class name of the Serializable object Definition at line 35 of file Name.java. References Sct.Name.className.

abstract String Sct.Name.getName (   )  [pure virtual]

Gets the implementation dependant String representation of the name. This can be passed to the appropriate ObjectManager for later retrieval Returns: the String representation of the Name Implemented in Sct.File.NameFile.

String Sct.Name.getUniqueID (   )

Gets the uniqueID of the object this Name represents. Returns: the uniqueID Definition at line 43 of file Name.java. References Sct.Name.uniqueID.

abstract void Sct.Name.parse (  String  name  )  throws IllegalArgumentException [protected, pure virtual]

Should set the className and uniqueID members by parsing the implementation dependant representation. Parameters: name  The implementation dependant representation of the Name Implemented in Sct.File.NameFile. Referenced by Sct.Name.Name().
