Method Detail

getName

GraphName getName()

Returns:

the fully resolved name of this Node, e.g. "/foo/bar/boop"

resolveName

GraphName resolveName(GraphName name)

Resolve the given name, using ROS conventions, into a full ROS namespace name. Will be relative to the current namespace unless the name is global.

Parameters:

name - the name to resolve

Returns:

fully resolved ros namespace name

resolveName

GraphName resolveName(java.lang.String name)

resolveName(GraphName)

getResolver

NodeNameResolver getResolver()

Returns:

NodeNameResolver for this namespace

getUri

java.net.URI getUri()

Returns:

the URI of this Node

getMasterUri

java.net.URI getMasterUri()

Returns:

URI of MasterXmlRpcEndpoint that this node is attached to.

getLog

org.apache.commons.logging.Log getLog()

Returns:

Logger for this node, which will also perform logging to /rosout.

getMessageSerializationFactory

org.ros.message.MessageSerializationFactory getMessageSerializationFactory()

Returns:

the MessageSerializationFactory used by this node

getTopicMessageFactory

org.ros.message.MessageFactory getTopicMessageFactory()

Returns:

the MessageFactory used by this node

getServiceResponseMessageFactory

org.ros.message.MessageFactory getServiceResponseMessageFactory()

Returns:

the MessageFactory used by this node for service responses

getServiceRequestMessageFactory

org.ros.message.MessageFactory getServiceRequestMessageFactory()

Returns:

the MessageFactory used by this node for service requests

addListener

void addListener(NodeListener listener)

Add a new NodeListener to the Node.

Parameters:

listener - the NodeListener to add

getScheduledExecutorService

java.util.concurrent.ScheduledExecutorService getScheduledExecutorService()

Returns:

the ScheduledExecutorService that this Node uses

executeCancellableLoop

void executeCancellableLoop(CancellableLoop cancellableLoop)

Executes a CancellableLoop using the Node's ScheduledExecutorService. The CancellableLoop will be canceled when the Node starts shutting down.

Any blocking calls executed in the provided CancellableLoop can potentially delay Node shutdown and should be avoided.

Parameters:

cancellableLoop - the CancellableLoop to execute

shutdown

void shutdown()

Shut the node down.
