  • Constructor Details

    • VMID

      public VMID()
      Create a new VMID. Each new VMID returned from this constructor is unique for all Java virtual machines under the following conditions: a) the conditions for uniqueness for objects of the class java.rmi.server.UID are satisfied, and b) an address can be obtained for this host that is unique and constant for the lifetime of this object.

  • Method Details

    • isUnique

      @Deprecated public static boolean isUnique()
      Deprecated.
      Return true if an accurate address can be determined for this host. If false, reliable VMID cannot be generated from this host
      Returns:
      true if host address can be determined, false otherwise

    • hashCode

      public int hashCode()
      Compute hash code for this VMID.
      Overrides:
      hashCode in class Object
      Returns:
      a hash code value for this object
      See Also:

    • equals

      public boolean equals(Object obj)
      Compare this VMID to another, and return true if they are the same identifier.
      Overrides:
      equals in class Object
      Parameters:
      obj - the reference object with which to compare.
      Returns:
      true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.
      See Also:

    • toString

      public String toString()
      Return string representation of this VMID.
      Overrides:
      toString in class Object
      Returns:
      a string representation of the object
