public class RASMaskChangeGenerator
extends RASObject
implements RASIMaskChangeGenerator

RASMaskChangeGenerator implements the RASIMaskChangeGenerator interface. It is responsible for controlling the message and trace masks and for informing RASIMaskChangeListener that a change has occurred in the object's message or trace mask.

RASMaskChangeGenerator also provides methods that allow it to know which RASIEvent classes it can query to learn the event type values that might be used in its message or trace masks. This information can also be presented to a graphical program to display these event types to an end user.

This class provides common function to loggers and handlers and is not intended to be instantiated directly. The RASLogger and Handler classes extend this class.

Method Detail

init

protected void init()
Initializes this object, setting default values.

Overrides:
init in class RASObject

getConfig

public java.util.Hashtable getConfig()
Gets the configuration of this object.

Specified by:
getConfig in interface RASIMaskChangeGenerator
Overrides:
getConfig in class RASObject
Returns:
A Hashtable containing the configuration. This object inserts the following key/value pairs into the the configuration:

messageMask
The mask which selects the message types to be processed.
traceMask
The mask which selects the trace types to be processed.
messageEventClasses
A blank-delimited list of message event classes which this object uses.
traceEventClasses
A blank-delimited list of trace event classes which this object uses.

All values are Strings. The parent and extensions of this object may use additional keys.

setConfig

public void setConfig(java.util.Hashtable ht)
Sets the configuration of this object. This method is used by a RASManager to initialize a RAS object. It should not be necessary for an application to use this method.

Specified by:
