public final class License

extends java.lang.Object

Object to represent different options in the license file. Each license is identified by a "component" name, which is a simple string. There are additional attributes for expiration, key (a validation digest), allowed IP addresses, and a generic "unit" facility to represent any additional, integer-based component-specific options. There is also a facility for free-form "parameters" for additiona, string-based component-specific options.

Constructor Detail

License

public License(java.lang.String component,
               java.lang.String[] allowedIps,
               java.util.Date expiration,
               java.lang.String key,
               java.util.Hashtable unitProps,
               java.util.Properties params)

Constructor initializing License with specified parameters

Parameters:

component - Component name

allowedIps - IP addresses this license is valid for

expiration - Expiration date for this license

key - Calculated key for this license

unitProps - Any "unit" parameters

params - Any String parameters

Method Detail

getComponent

public java.lang.String getComponent()

Returns the component name. For example, "building.blocks".

Returns:

Component name read from license file.

getAllowedIps

public java.lang.String[] getAllowedIps()

Returns the set of IP addresses that this license is restricted to run on.

Returns:

Array of IP addresses, in String form

getExpiration

public java.util.Date getExpiration()

Returns the expiration date for this component.

Returns:

When this key expires or null if never.

getKey

public java.lang.String getKey()

Returns the validation digest for this component.

Returns:

String representation of digest

getUnitsParameter

public java.lang.Integer getUnitsParameter(java.lang.String propertyName)

Returns the value for the specified unit. A unit is a simple name/value pair to associate arbitrary parameters with the license. Units are always expressed as integers.

Parameters:

propertyName - Name of the unit to retrieve the value for

Returns:

Integer value for the specified parameter

getParameter

public java.lang.String getParameter(java.lang.String name)

Returns the value for the specified custom parameter. Values are returned as Strings.

Parameters:

name - Parameter to retrieve.

Returns:

Value for specified parameter.

isExpired

public boolean isExpired()

Returns whether this component has expired.

Returns:

True, if component's expiration date is past.

hasValidKey

public boolean hasValidKey()

Returns whether this component's validation key is correct.

Returns:

True if the validation key is correct

assertHasValidKey

public void assertHasValidKey()
                       throws BadLicenseKeyException

Identical to hasValidKey(), except that a checked exception is thrown if the key is not valid.

Throws:

BadLicenseKeyException - Thrown if hasValidKey() evaluates to false.

isValidForThisServer

public boolean isValidForThisServer()

Check to see if this server is in the set of valid IP addresses associated for this license component.

Returns:

true if server's IP address is in list of valid IPs, or if the license is for "any" IP.

assertIsLicensed

public void assertIsLicensed()
                      throws LicenseExpiredException,
                             UnlicensedServerException

Assertion that a valid license exists, including validating expiration and valid IP addresses.

Throws:

LicenseExpiredException - If the license is expired

UnlicensedServerException - If the IP address for the server is not valid

serializeAsProperties

public void serializeAsProperties(java.util.Properties p,
                                  java.lang.String namePrefix)

Writes component out in property (name/value) format.

Parameters:

p - Properties object to insert values into

namePrefix - Prefix for property names

serializeAsXml

public java.lang.String serializeAsXml(java.lang.String lineSeparator)

Writes out this license as a String, using the specified lineSeparator

Returns:

String representation of XML element for this license.
