Method Detail

addReference

public void addReference(ThingReference r)
                  throws RemoteVisADException

Adds a listener for changes to this thing. The listener will be notified when this thing changes.

Specified by:

addReference in interface Thing

Parameters:

r - The listener for changes.

Throws:

RemoteVisADException - if the listener isn't a ThingReferenceImpl.

VisADException - if a VisAD failure occurs.

adaptedAddReference

void adaptedAddReference(RemoteThingReference r,
                         RemoteThing t)
                   throws VisADException

method for use by RemoteThingImpl that adapts this ThingImpl

Throws:

VisADException

removeReference

public void removeReference(ThingReference r)
                     throws VisADException

remove a ThingReference to this ThingImpl; must be local ThingReferenceImpl; called by ThingReference.setThing; would like 'default' visibility here, but must be declared 'public' because it is defined in the Thing interface

Specified by:

removeReference in interface Thing

Throws:

VisADException

adaptedRemoveReference

void adaptedRemoveReference(RemoteThingReference r,
                            RemoteThing t)
                      throws VisADException

method for use by RemoteThingImpl that adapts this ThingImpl

Throws:

VisADException

notifyReferences

public void notifyReferences()
                      throws VisADException,
                             RemoteException

notify local ThingReferenceImpl-s that this ThingImpl has changed; incTick in RemoteThingImpl for RemoteThingReferenceImpl-s; would like 'default' visibility here, but must be declared 'public' because it is defined in the Thing interface

Throws:

VisADException

RemoteException

clone

public Object clone()
             throws CloneNotSupportedException

Clones this instance. Information on the set of listeners to changes in this instance is not cloned, so -- following the general contract of the clone() method -- subclasses should not test for equality of the set of listeners in any equals(Object) method.

This implementation never throws CloneNotSupportException.

Returns:

A clone of this instance.

Throws:

CloneNotSupportedException - if cloning isn't supported.
