Class AbstractLookupDiscovery.DecodeAnnouncementTask

java.lang.Object

net.jini.discovery.AbstractLookupDiscovery.DecodeAnnouncementTask

All Implemented Interfaces:

Runnable

Enclosing class:

AbstractLookupDiscovery

private class AbstractLookupDiscovery.DecodeAnnouncementTask
extends Object
implements Runnable

Task which decodes received multicast announcement packets. This is separated into a task to allow the AnnouncementListener thread to quickly loop and receive new announcement packets; the act of decoding packets may involve relatively slow cryptographic operations such as signature verification, and would impede the packet receiving loop if it were performed inline.

DecodeAnnouncementTask

public DecodeAnnouncementTask(DatagramPacket datagram)

Creates a task for decoding the given multicast announcement packet.

Method Detail

run

public void run()

Restore the privileged context and run

Specified by:

run in interface Runnable

doRun

private void doRun()

Decodes this task's multicast announcement packet. If the constraints for decoding multicast announcements are satisfied and the announcement merits further processing, an appropriate object is added to the pendingDiscoveries set, and control is transferred to a UnicastDiscoveryTask.

newSeqNum

private boolean newSeqNum(long currentNum,
                          long oldNum)

Returns true if currentNum is a new sequence number that needs to be inspected. A -1 occurs if the announcement had no sequence number (for e.g. DiscoveryV1) or the service had been discovered through unicast discovery. REMIND: Ideally the message should have a flag which indicates no sequence number instead of overloading the -1 value
