      public Membership()
      Public constructor Creates a member ship object with zero members
    • Membership

      public Membership(Collection<Address> initial_members)
      Creates a member ship object with the initial members. The Address references are copied out of the vector, so that the vector passed in as parameters is not the same reference as the vector that the membership class is using
      Parameters:
      initial_members - - a list of members that belong to this membership
  • Method Details

    • getMembers

      public Vector<Address> getMembers()
      returns a copy (clone) of the members in this membership. the vector returned is immutable in reference to this object. ie, modifying the vector that is being returned in this method will not modify this membership object.
      Returns:
      a list of members,
    • add

      public void add(Address new_member)
      Adds a new member to this membership. If the member already exist (Address.equals(Object) returns true then the member will not be added to the membership
    • add

      public final void add(Collection<Address> v)
      Adds a list of members to this membership
      Parameters:
      v - - a vector containing Address objects
      Throws:
      ClassCastException - if v contains objects that don't implement the Address interface
      See Also:
    • remove

      public void remove(Address old_member)
      removes an member from the membership. If this member doesn't exist, no action will be performed on the existing membership
      Parameters:
      old_member - - the member to be removed
    • remove

      public void remove(Collection<Address> v)
      removes all the members contained in v from this membership
      Parameters:
      v - - a vector containing all the members to be removed
    • clear

      public void clear()
      removes all the members from this membership
    • set

      public void set(Collection<Address> v)
      Clear the membership and adds all members of v This method will clear out all the old members of this membership by invoking the Clear method. Then it will add all the all members provided in the vector v
      Parameters:
      v - - a vector containing all the members this membership will contain
    • set

      public void set(Membership m)
      Clear the membership and adds all members of v This method will clear out all the old members of this membership by invoking the Clear method. Then it will add all the all members provided in the vector v
      Parameters:
      m - - a membership containing all the members this membership will contain
    • merge

      public void merge(Collection<Address> new_mems, Collection<Address> suspects)
      merges membership with the new members and removes suspects The Merge method will remove all the suspects and add in the new members. It will do it in the order 1. Remove suspects 2. Add new members the order is very important to notice.
      Parameters:
      new_mems - - a vector containing a list of members (Address) to be added to this membership
      suspects - - a vector containing a list of members (Address) to be removed from this membership

      an exact copy of this membership
    • clone

      public Object clone()
      Overrides:
      clone in class Object
      Returns:

    • size

      public int size()
      Returns the number of addresses in this membership
      Returns:
      the number of addresses in this membership

      public Address elementAt(int index)
      Returns the component at the specified index
      Parameters:
      index - - 0..size()-1
      Throws:
      ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - - if the index is negative or not less than the current size of this Membership object.
