## com.bbn.openmap.layer.link
Class LinkActionRequest

    java.lang.Object
      com.bbn.openmap.layer.link.LinkActionRequest

All Implemented Interfaces:
  LinkActionConstants, LinkPropertiesConstants

public class LinkActionRequest
extends java.lang.Object
implements LinkActionConstants, LinkPropertiesConstants

Class used to send a gesture to a server. In this case, a gesture can be a mouse click event, a mouse event, or a key event. This class defines how such notification is formatted and sent. The client can use the static write methods to put the object on the link, and the server creates an instance of this object to read the object off the link, and find out what the fields were.

Field Summary
`protected int` | `clickCount` The click count of the mouse event.
`protected int` | `descriptor` The mask describing the event.
`protected java.lang.String` | `id` Graphic ID of an object selected by a gesture.
`protected char` | `key` The character of the key that was pressed in a key event.
`protected float` | `lat` The latitide location of the mouse event, in decimal degrees.
`protected float` | `lon` The longitude location of the mouse event, in decimal degrees.
`protected int` | `modifiers` The modifier of the event, that describes any keys that may have been pressed while the event occured.
`protected LinkProperties` | `properties` The properties object that contains any pertinent arguments.
`protected static float` | `version` Version Number of request format.
`protected int` | `x` The horizontal screen location of the mouse event, in pixels.
`protected int` | `y` The vertical screen location of the mouse event, in pixels.

    protected int y

  The vertical screen location of the mouse event, in pixels.

### lat

    protected float lat

  The latitide location of the mouse event, in decimal degrees.

### lon

    protected float lon

  The longitude location of the mouse event, in decimal degrees.

### clickCount

    protected int clickCount

  The click count of the mouse event.

### modifiers

    protected int modifiers

  The modifier of the event, that describes any keys that may have been pressed while the event occured.

### key

    protected char key

  The character of the key that was pressed in a key event.

### descriptor

    protected int descriptor

  The mask describing the event.

### id

    protected java.lang.String id

  Graphic ID of an object selected by a gesture.

### properties

    protected LinkProperties properties

  The properties object that contains any pertinent arguments.

### version

    protected static float version

Constructor Detail

### LinkActionRequest

    public LinkActionRequest(Link link)
                      throws java.io.IOException

### LinkActionRequest

    public LinkActionRequest(Link link,
                             int descriptor,
                             java.lang.String sectionEnder)
                      throws java.io.IOException

  Constructor used by a server to let the client know what types of gestures the server can receive. This constructor automatically writes out the header and descriptor to the link. It does not call the link.end() method to end the transmission, since this will probably be sent along with other sections in a communication to the client.

Parameters:
  `link` - the link to write to.
  `descriptor` - a masked integer (see constants) describing the event to receive.
  `sectionEnder` - the endType string to use for this description, either Link.END_TOTAL if this is the last section to the client, or END_SECTION if there are more sections following.

Method Detail

### getType

    public java.lang.String getType()

### getLinkStatus

    public java.lang.String getLinkStatus()

  After reading the gesture response, this returns the section ending string terminating the gesture section, either Link.END_TOTAL or Link.END_SECTION.

  Returns:
    either Link.END_TOTAL or Link.END_SECTION.

    `lonPoint` - the longitude of the mouse event.
    `props` - an array of strings representing key-value pairs.
    `link` - the link to write the gesture to.
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`
