public interface EntityViewImplementation
extends EntityView

This is the interface for a EntityView implementation. It contains methods that are only used by file system implementations; not by file system clients. An EntityView object can always be cast to a EntityViewImplementation object.

The methods in this interface should only be used by file system and capability implementations.

Method Summary

AbsoluteLocation	getAbsoluteLocationNoLocking() Get the entity's absolute location in the file system without bothering about locking.
FileSystemImplementation	getFileSystemImplementation() Get the file system cast to FileSystemImplementation.
String	getNameNoLocking() Get the name without bothering to have a lock on the entity.
List<EntityObserver>	getObserverList() Get the list of EntityObserver:s that are registered for this entity.

Method Detail

getObserverList

List<EntityObserver> getObserverList()

Get the list of EntityObserver:s that are registered for this entity. The returned list should be immutable.

Returns:

The list of registered EntityObserver:s.

getAbsoluteLocationNoLocking

AbsoluteLocation getAbsoluteLocationNoLocking()

Get the entity's absolute location in the file system without bothering about locking. This is used for methods like toString or for trace logging when it is not essential that the location returned is correct.

Returns:

An absolute location, probably the entity's.

getFileSystemImplementation

FileSystemImplementation getFileSystemImplementation()

Get the file system cast to FileSystemImplementation. Convenient alternative to having to cast the result from EntityView.getFileSystem().

Returns:

The file system.

getNameNoLocking

String getNameNoLocking()

Get the name without bothering to have a lock on the entity. This is used for methods like toString or for trace logging when it is not essential that the name returned is correct.

Returns:

A name, probably the entity's.
