Author:

Ramon Servadei

Method Summary

String	getAddress() Get the unique address for this.
IDomain	getDomain() Get the domain attribute of this object.
String	getIdentity() Get the identification string for this entity.
IType	getType() Get the type attribute of this object.

Method Detail

getIdentity

String getIdentity()

Get the identification string for this entity. This is unique within the type and domain.

Returns:

a String identity providing an identification for this entity within its type and domain.

getType(), getDomain()

getType

IType getType()

Get the type attribute of this object. The type is orthogonal to the domain.

Returns:

the type of this object

See Also:

getDomain()

getDomain

IDomain getDomain()

Get the domain attribute of this object. The domain is orthogonal to the type.

Returns:

the domain of this object
