Class NameAccessLevel

java.lang.Object
org.jcsp.net.cns.NameAccessLevel
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
public final class NameAccessLevel extends Object implements Serializable
This class allows name spaces to be identified around AbstractID objects (currently including ApplicationID, NodeID, DomainID and GlobalID ). An AbstractID object can have a single parent AbstractID object. This allows a tree-like hierarchy to be formed which in turn allows a name space hierarchy.

For example, two ApplicationID objects, A and B, may each have a parent NodeID Z. The namespaces created around A and B will each be a superset of the namespace of Z. Channels registered in Z's namespace can be resolved in either A's or B's namespace. A channel registered in A's namespace may neither be resolved in Z's namespace nor B's.
