Constructor Detail

MembershipEvent

public MembershipEvent(Cluster cluster,
                       Member member,
                       int eventType,
                       Set<Member> members)

Method Detail

getMembers

public Set<Member> getMembers()

Returns a consistent view of the the members exactly after this MembershipEvent has been processed. So if a member is removed, the returned set will not include this member. And if a member is added it will include this member. The problem with calling the Cluster.getMembers() is that the content could already have changed while processing this event so it becomes very difficult to write a deterministic algorithm since you can't get a deterministic view of the members. This method solves that problem. The set is immutable and ordered. For more information see Cluster.getMembers(). On the client null is returned to indicate that this functionality is not implemented.

Returns:

the members at the moment after this event. Or null if this event is send on the client side.

getCluster

public Cluster getCluster()

Returns the cluster of the event.

Returns:

getEventType

public int getEventType()

Returns the membership event type; #MEMBER_ADDED or #MEMBER_REMOVED

Returns:

the membeship event type

getMember

public Member getMember()

Returns the removed or added member.

Returns:

member which is removed/added

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class EventObject
