All Implemented Interfaces:

Command, InCommand

Direct Known Subclasses:

GenericCommand, GenericError, GenericReply, UnknownCommand, WelcomeCommand

public abstract class GenericInCommand

extends java.lang.Object

implements InCommand

Defines a generic command. Most commands will simply have to override the getIrcIdentifier method and implement the parse and render methods using convenience methods.

attributes

Constructor Summary

protected	GenericInCommand()
protected	GenericInCommand(java.lang.String[] attributeNames)

Method Summary

java.lang.String	getAttribute(java.lang.String key) Returns the attribute, or null if the attribute does not exist, or is not defined.
java.util.Iterator	getAttributeKeys() Returns an iterator of String objects over the attribute names for this command.
int	getIntParameter(java.lang.String params, int paramnum, int defaultNum)
java.lang.String	getParameter(java.lang.String params, int num) Utility method to make parsing easy.
java.lang.String	getSourceString() Allows a third party to receive a copy of the raw string.
State	getState() Some commands, when received by the server, can only occur in one state.
abstract InCommand	parse(java.lang.String prefix, java.lang.String identifier, java.lang.String params) Parses a string and produces a formed command object, if it can.
void	selfRegister(CommandRegister commandRegister) Every command should know how to register itself (or not) with the command parsing engine.
protected void	setAttribute(java.lang.String key, java.lang.String value)
void	setSourceString(java.lang.String source) Gives the command a copy of the raw string from the server.
boolean	updateClientState(ClientState state) By default, commands do not update the client state.

Method Detail

getAttribute

public java.lang.String getAttribute(java.lang.String key)

Description copied from interface: InCommand

Returns the attribute, or null if the attribute does not exist, or is not defined.

Specified by:

getAttribute in interface InCommand

getAttributeKeys

public java.util.Iterator getAttributeKeys()

Description copied from interface: InCommand

Returns an iterator of String objects over the attribute names for this command. Warning: Still new, support for this is not yet widespread. Should return all possible attribute keys, not just those that have a value in the current context.

Specified by:

getAttributeKeys in interface InCommand

setAttribute

protected void setAttribute(java.lang.String key,
                            java.lang.String value)

getState

public State getState()

Some commands, when received by the server, can only occur in one state. Thus, when this command is received, the protocol should assume that it is that state. A command can use the 'unknown' state to indicate it can be received in any state (for example, ping). Most commands will occur in the REGISTERED state, so for a few exeptions, commands can leave this alone.

Specified by:

getState in interface InCommand

selfRegister

public void selfRegister(CommandRegister commandRegister)

Every command should know how to register itself (or not) with the command parsing engine. If a command is available under mutiple identifiers, then this method can be overridden and the addCommand method can be called multiple times.

Specified by:

selfRegister in interface InCommand

parse

public abstract InCommand parse(java.lang.String prefix,
                                java.lang.String identifier,
                                java.lang.String params)

Parses a string and produces a formed command object, if it can. Should return null if it cannot form the command object.

Specified by:

parse in interface InCommand

updateClientState

public boolean updateClientState(ClientState state)

By default, commands do not update the client state.

Specified by:

updateClientState in interface InCommand

getParameter

public java.lang.String getParameter(java.lang.String params,
                                     int num)

Utility method to make parsing easy. Provides parameter n, where n=0 is the first parameter. Parses out the : and considers anything after a : to be one string, the final parameter. If the index doesn't exist, returns null. Should it throw IndexOutOfBoundsException? No, some commands may have optional fields.

getIntParameter

public int getIntParameter(java.lang.String params,
                           int paramnum,
                           int defaultNum)

setSourceString

public void setSourceString(java.lang.String source)

Description copied from interface: InCommand

Gives the command a copy of the raw string from the server. Called by IRCConnection after the command is parsed.

Specified by:

setSourceString in interface InCommand

getSourceString

public java.lang.String getSourceString()

Description copied from interface: InCommand

Allows a third party to receive a copy of the raw string.

Specified by:

getSourceString in interface InCommand
