java.lang.Object
- org.jcsp.net.AbstractID
- - org.jcsp.net.ApplicationID

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable
```
public class ApplicationID
extends AbstractID
implements java.io.Serializable
```
A Class whose instances represent a unique identifier for a JCSP.NET application. An application is defined as being a process network that forms a complete program. Applications have a parent Node which is the Node on which the application was started.

- Method Detail
  - toString
```
public java.lang.String toString()
```
    Returns a String representation of this object. The current implemenation returns a human readable String which shows the application's home NodeID and the integer application id.
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class java.lang.Object
    
    Returns:
    
    the String representing this Application ID.
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)
```
    Compares the supplied Object with this ApplicationID.
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class java.lang.Object
    
    Parameters:
    
    o - another Object to compare with this ApplicationID.
    
    Returns:
    
    true iff the parameter o is an ApplicationID that represents the same application as this object.
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Returns a hash code for this Object. Two equal ApplicationID objects return the same hash code.
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class java.lang.Object
    
    Returns:
    
    an int hash code.
  - getParentID
```
public AbstractID getParentID()
```
    Returns the parent NodeID of this object.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getParentID in class AbstractID
    
    Returns:
    
    the parent NodeID.
