Description
| Interface Summary | |
|---|---|
| LogicalDirectory | This interface represents a container for logical files in a logical file name space. |
| LogicalFile | A LogicalFile provides the means to handle the contents of logical files. |
| Class Summary | |
|---|---|
| LogicalFileFactory | Factory for objects from the logicalfile package. |
This package provides classes to interact with replica systems.
No specific consistency model is impied by the SAGA API specification.
A LogicalFile represents
an entry in a namespace which administers a set of registered replicas
of a specific file.
A LogicalDirectory
represents a directory entry in the namespace of logical files, that is,
it is a container for logical files.
Some methods in this interface have been renamed slightly to avoid
conflicts with methods in
NSDirectory, as only
the type of the return value differs, and Java forbids that.
The possible logicalfile flags are defined in the
Flags enumeration
class, which includes methods to combine them into integers,
and to determine if they are set in an integer.
These methods are not described in the language-independent SAGA
specification, but are added in the Java language bindings because
in Java, enumerations cannot be treated as integers.
Also, since enumeration classes are not extensible in Java, flags
from the namespace package
and the file package are included
there as well.
