15 * A host object represents a location (any possible place) where a process may run.
16 * Thus it is represented as a physical resource with computing capabilities, some
17 * mailboxes to enable running process to communicate with remote ones, and some private
18 * data that can be only accessed by local process. An instance of this class is always
19 * binded with the corresponding native host. All the native hosts are automatically created
20 * during the call of the method Msg.createEnvironment(). This method take as parameter a
21 * platform file which describes all elements of the platform (host, link, root..).
22 * You cannot create a host yourself.
24 * The best way to get an host instance is to call the static method
27 * For example to get the instance of the host. If your platform
28 * file description contains an host named "Jacquelin" :
34 jacquelin = Host.getByName("Jacquelin");
35 } catch(HostNotFoundException e) {
36 System.err.println(e.toString());
45 * This attribute represents a bind between a java host object and
46 * a native host. Even if this attribute is public you must never
47 * access to it. It is set automatically during the call of the
48 * static method Host.getByName().
50 * @see Host.getByName().
68 * This static method gets an host instance associated with a native
69 * host of your platform. This is the best way to get a java host object.
71 * @param name The name of the host to get.
74 * @exception HostNotFoundException if the name of the host is not valid.
75 * NativeException if the native version of this method failed.
