Field Detail

eventType

protected UnsignedInt eventType

Event Type - This field shall specify the type of event that caused the issue of an Event PDU.

Value:

Enumeration. See references below for further information.

References:

see Section 7 in EBV-DOC

DIS Data Dictionary: Event Type Field

datumInformation

protected DatumSpecification datumInformation

Datum Information - This field shall specify the types of datum and their value be communicated.

sizeOf

public static final int sizeOf

Constant value--size of a Event Report PDU without header nor Datum Specification Record. sizeOf = 8 bytes

See Also:

Constant Field Values

exemplar

protected static EventReportPdu exemplar

An "exemplar" object, which is filled out to the state that is needed most of the time.

Explanation

A brand new object has to have most of its values set, such as the forceID, protocol version, and so on. This lets the user fill out most of the values, save it in the class, then retrieve a copy of it as needed.

Constructor Detail

EventReportPdu

public EventReportPdu()

Default constructor--fills with zeros for all values.

Method Detail

pduName

public java.lang.String pduName()

Description copied from class: SimulationManagementFamily

Returns the name of this PDU

Specified by:

pduName in class SimulationManagementFamily

Returns:

the name of this PDU

serialize

public void serialize(java.io.DataOutputStream outputStream)

Description copied from class: PduElement

Serialize our data out to the stream. Subclasses of us should call super.Serialize() to make sure the superclasse's data is serialized out. The order in which instance variables are serialized is significant. They must be serialized in the same order they appear in the DIS spec. Prints out some information during execution if debugging flag is set.

Specified by:

serialize in interface SerializationInterface

Overrides:

serialize in class SimulationManagementFamily

Throws:

java.lang.RuntimeException - when IO Error occurs.

deSerialize

public void deSerialize(java.io.DataInputStream inputStream)

Description copied from class: PduElement

Deserialize our data from the input stream. Subclasses of us should call super.deSerialize to make sure the superclass's data are properly affected. The order in which instance variables are serialized is significant. They must be deSerialized in the same order as they have been serialized as specified by the DIS spec.

Specified by:

deSerialize in interface SerializationInterface

Overrides:

deSerialize in class SimulationManagementFamily

Throws:

java.lang.RuntimeException - when IO Error occurs.

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Description copied from class: PduElement

Makes deep copies of all the instance variables, so we don't have two objects pointing to the same data. The accessor methods make copies of the objects, rather than returning the objects themselves. The runtime provides the right object type with the call to super.clone(), and we cast it to our type. Subclasses should do the same thing, and all these ivars will be taken care of automatically.

Overrides:

clone in class SimulationManagementFamily

length

public int length()

Description copied from class: ProtocolDataUnit

Returns the length of the PDU header.

Overrides:

length in class SimulationManagementFamily

printValues

public void printValues(int indentLevel,
                        java.io.PrintStream printStream)

Description copied from class: PduElement

Prints the generated serialized object for debugging.

Overrides:

printValues in class SimulationManagementFamily

getExemplar

public EventReportPdu getExemplar()

setExemplar

public void setExemplar(EventReportPdu newExemplar)

getEventType

public UnsignedInt getEventType()

setEventType

public void setEventType(long pEventType)

getDatumInformation

public DatumSpecification getDatumInformation()

setDatumInformation

public void setDatumInformation(DatumSpecification pDatumSpecification)
