Method Detail

preValidate

public void preValidate()
                 throws MessageException

Description copied from class: Message

Perform initial validation of message to include validation of AVPs required to determine if the request/answer should be forwarded. If we determine the message should be locally handled, then the remaining AVPs will be validated by 'validate()'.

Overrides:

preValidate in class Message

Throws:

MessageException - if validation failed

preValidateAvp

protected void preValidateAvp(Avp avp)
                       throws AvpException

Description copied from class: Message

Fully decodes and validates the specified AVP. Message implementations can override this to provide additional validation or to cache AVP results.

Overrides:

preValidateAvp in class Message

Parameters:

avp - the AVP to be validated

Throws:

AvpException - if the AVP was invalid

getResultCode

public ResultCode getResultCode()

Returns the ResultCode for this answer. This corresponds to either the Result-Code AVP or Experimental-Result AVP.

setResultCode

public void setResultCode(ResultCode rc)

Allows relay or proxy applications to modify result code of an answer message being forwarded. This is only possible if existing result code value does not already indicate an error. If result code is changed, and this host is different from the origin-host, then set the Error-Reporting-Host AVP as well. See RFC 3588 section 6.2.2 for more details.

Parameters:

rc - the new result code

send

public void send()
          throws java.io.IOException

If this Answer was created for a Request, then sends the answer using the connection from the associated Request.

Specified by:

send in class Message

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurred while sending the answer

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if this Answer has no associated Request

commit

public void commit()
            throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from class: Message

Specified by:

commit in class Message

Throws:

java.io.IOException

isCommitted

public boolean isCommitted()

Specified by:

isCommitted in class Message

getRequest

public Request getRequest()

Returns the original Request used to create this Answer, or null if this answer was not originated by this node.
