Class Alert

java.lang.Object

org.lsst.ccs.bus.data.Alert

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public final class Alert
extends Object
implements Serializable

Base class for all Alerts. This class provides an alertId field that is used to uniquely identify similar Alert instances: if two Alert instances have the same alertId, they are equal. Alerts are raised when abnormal situations occur, and they can be raised at a different AlertState level. Additionally the Alert class has the following field:

• description: the description of the Alert

Since this class is final it must be used as is by subsystems. This class provides a way to add key-value pairs so that subsystem developers can add subsystem specific information to specific alerts. The values added to the Alert must be basic Serializable object or de-serialization problems will arise in the receiving clients. The Alert data can be provided only at construction time and cannot be modified. When an Alert is raised a StatusAlert message will be published on the Status bus.
