Interface IObjectInstanceCtx

All Superinterfaces:

IActiveInstanceCtx, IBrahmsObjectCtx, IConceptCtx

All Known Implementing Classes:

ObjectInstanceCtx, VMObjectInstanceCtx

public interface IObjectInstanceCtx
extends IActiveInstanceCtx

The IObjectInstanceCtx interface is the interface for the runtime class for the objects. It manages the belief set, location, frame contexts with their various states and containment. The virtual machine maintains the object states through the object instance contexts.

Method Detail

addAggregate

void addAggregate(PartCtx aggregate)
                  throws gov.nasa.arc.brahms.common.exceptions.BrahmsException

Adds the specified aggregate as an aggregate for this object instance. The actual aggregate is the part context's aggregate/parent. Aggregates and sub aggregates are associated through a PartCtx.

Parameters:

aggregate - the aggregate (PartCtx) to be added

Throws:

gov.nasa.arc.brahms.common.exceptions.BrahmsException - if aggregate is null

removeAggregate

void removeAggregate(PartCtx aggregate)
                     throws gov.nasa.arc.brahms.common.exceptions.BrahmsException

Removes the specified aggregate as an aggregate for this object instance. The actual aggregate is the part context's aggregate/parent. Aggregates and sub aggregates are associated through a PartCtx.

Parameters:

aggregate - the aggregate to be removed

Throws:

gov.nasa.arc.brahms.common.exceptions.BrahmsException - if aggregate is null, no aggregates are available, or the aggregate is not found

getAggregates

java.util.Enumeration getAggregates()
                                    throws gov.nasa.arc.brahms.common.exceptions.BrahmsException

Returns a list of all the aggregates (PartCtx).

Returns:

Enumeration an enumeration of PartCtx

Throws:

gov.nasa.arc.brahms.common.exceptions.BrahmsException - if there are no aggregates

removeAllAggregates

void removeAllAggregates()

Removes all the aggregates from the list of aggregates.
