Class LinearIXSyntax

java.lang.Object
  ix.iserve.ipc.LinearIXSyntax

public class LinearIXSyntax
extends java.lang.Object

A simple string representation of I-X items for use by communication strategies.

Syntax out of I-X Java representation:

   Activity:   Aid^from^pattern
   Chat:       M^from^text
 

Syntax into I-X Java representation:

   Activity:   Aid^to^pattern
   Constraint: C^to^type subtype pattern=value
   Report:     Rrefid^to^type text
   Chat:       M^to^text
 

For messages coming into I-X, 'from' will be attached or determined somehow by the communication strategy, either on the sending or receiving side, and will be installed as the senderId on the receiving side after decoding from linear syntax.

The 'refid' will be the id of an activity and will include the initial 'A' for 'activity'.

In the "into I-X" syntax for a constraint, the type "world-state" can be abbreviated to "state".
