Method Detail

getVersion

public ProtocolVersion getVersion()

Description copied from interface: Structure

Returns the protocol version of this OpenFlow structure.

Specified by:

getVersion in interface Structure

Returns:

the structure protocol version

getType

public MessageType getType()

Description copied from interface: Message

Returns the message type.

Returns:

the message type

length

public int length()

Description copied from interface: Message

Gets the message length in bytes.

Specified by:

length in interface Message

Overrides:

length in class AbstractMessage

Returns:

number of bytes

getXid

public long getXid()

Description copied from interface: Message

Returns the transaction id of this message.

Returns:

the message transaction id

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

toDebugString

public String toDebugString()

Returns a string representation useful for debugging. This default implementation delegates to toString(), but subclasses are free to override this behavior.

Specified by:

toDebugString in interface Structure

Returns:

a (possibly multi-line) string representation of this message

validate

public void validate()
              throws IncompleteMessageException

Validates this message for completeness and throws an exception if the message is considered "not complete".

This default implementation does nothing, i.e. default behavior is that messages are considered complete.

Subclasses should override this method to check that mandatory fields or other internal state is present, throwing an exception if it is not.

Throws:

IncompleteMessageException - if the message is not complete

decodeHeader

public static String decodeHeader(byte[] bytes)

A utility method that will attempt to decode the given bytes as an openflow message header, and return a string representation of the result. The array should be at least 8 bytes in length.

Parameters:

bytes - the bytes to decode

Returns:

a string representation of the header

Throws:

NullPointerException - if bytes is null

IllegalArgumentException - if the array is too short

hex

protected static String hex(long value)

Returns the given long as a string in hex form.

Parameters:

value - the value

Returns:

the value in hex form

hex

protected static String hex(int value)

Returns the given int as a string in hex form.

Parameters:

value - the value

Returns:

the value in hex form
