public class NameSpace

extends java.lang.Object

Provides an interface for getting the default name space of the platform on which the JVM is executing. It also provides a central interface for changing NetWare file system name space integer values into strings and vice versa.

Field Summary

static int	DOS_INT The NetWare DOS name space flag.
static int	FTAM_INT The NetWare FTAM name space flag.
static int	LONG_INT The NetWare LONG name space flag.
static int	MAC_INT The NetWare MAC name space flag.
static int	NFS_INT The NetWare NFS name space flag.

Constructor Summary

NameSpace()

Method Summary

static int	getPlatformDefaultNameSpace() Returns the default NetWare name space number depending on the OS under which the current JVM is running.
static int	nameToNumber(java.lang.String name) Returns a name space number given a name space string.
static java.lang.String	numberToName(int ns) Returns a name space string given a NetWare name space number.

MAC_INT

public static final int MAC_INT

The NetWare MAC name space flag.

MAC_INT = 1

NFS_INT

public static final int NFS_INT

The NetWare NFS name space flag.

NFS_INT = 2

FTAM_INT

public NameSpace()

Method Detail

nameToNumber

public static int nameToNumber(java.lang.String name)

Returns a name space number given a name space string.

Parameters:

name - The name space string.

Returns:

The valid NetWare name space number for the name space string. If the name is invalid, -1 is returned.

numberToName

public static java.lang.String numberToName(int ns)

Returns a name space string given a NetWare name space number.

Parameters:

ns - The name space number.

Returns:

The valid name space string for the NetWare name space number. If the number is invalid, NULL is returned.

getPlatformDefaultNameSpace

public static int getPlatformDefaultNameSpace()

Returns the default NetWare name space number depending on the OS under which the current JVM is running.

This method returns the best-case name space, because not every NetWare volume will support the name space returned. The name space returned here must be filtered through the list of name spaces loaded on a particular volume to get the optimum usable name space for the volume.

Returns:

The NetWare name space number.
