getNamespace

Namespace getNamespace(Namespace n)
                throws SecurityException

Get the given Namespace instance from table

Parameters:

n - the Namespace to look for

Returns:

                      throws SecurityException

Get a Namespace instance by its string name.

Parameters:

name - the name to use for lookup

Returns:

Namespace instance. Null if not found.

Throws:

SecurityException - thrown if caller does not have appropriate NamespacePermission for given namespace

createGUID

ID createGUID()
       throws IDCreateException

Make a GUID using SHA-1 hash algorithm and a default of 16bits of data length. The value is Base64 encoded to allow for easy display.

Returns:

new ID instance

Throws:

IDCreateException - if ID cannot be constructed

createGUID

ID createGUID(int length)
       throws IDCreateException

Make a GUID using SHA-1 hash algorithm and a default of 16bits of data length. The value is Base64 encoded to allow for easy display.

Parameters:

length - the byte-length of data used to create a GUID

Returns:

new ID instance

Throws:

IDCreateException - if ID cannot be constructed

createID

ID createID(Namespace n,
            Object[] args)
     throws IDCreateException

Make a new identity. Given a Namespace, and an array of instance constructor parameters, return a new instance of an ID belonging to the given Namespace

Parameters:

n - the Namespace to which the ID will belong

args - an Object [] of the parameters for the ID instance constructor

Throws:

IDCreateException - thrown if class for instantiator or instance can't be loaded, if something goes wrong during instance construction

createID

ID createID(String namespaceName,
            Object[] args)
     throws IDCreateException

Make a new identity. Given a Namespace name, and an array of instance constructor parameters, return a new instance of an ID belonging to the given Namespace

Parameters:

namespaceName - the name of the Namespace to which the ID will belong

args - an Object [] of the parameters for the ID instance constructor

Throws:

IDCreateException - thrown if class for instantiator or ID instance can't be loaded, if something goes wrong during instance construction

createID

ID createID(Namespace namespace,
            String uri)
     throws IDCreateException

Make a new identity instance from a namespace and String.

Parameters:

namespace - the namespace to use to create the ID

uri - the String uri to use to create the ID

Throws:

IDCreateException - thrown if class for instantiator or ID instance can't be loaded, if something goes wrong during instance construction

createID

ID createID(String namespaceName,
            String idValue)
     throws IDCreateException

Make a new identity instance from a namespaceName and idValue. The namespaceName is first used to lookup the namespace with getNamespaceByName(String), and then the result is passed into createID(Namespace,String).

Parameters:

namespaceName - the name of the namespace that should be used to create the ID

idValue - the String value to use to create the ID

Throws:

IDCreateException - thrown if class for instantiator or ID instance can't be loaded, if something goes wrong during instance construction

createStringID

ID createStringID(String idString)
           throws IDCreateException

Make a an ID from a String

Parameters:

idString - the String to use as this ID's unique value. Note: It is incumbent upon the caller of this method to be sure that the given string allows the resulting ID to satisfy the ID contract for global uniqueness within the associated Namespace.

createLongID

ID createLongID(long l)
         throws IDCreateException

Make a an ID from a long

Parameters:

l - the long to use as this ID's unique value. Note: It is incumbent upon the caller of this method to be sure that the given long allows the resulting ID to satisfy the ID contract for global uniqueness within the associated Namespace.

Returns:

valid ID instance

Throws:
