Class uhr.core.cell.CellDK 

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----uhr.core.cell.CellDK
public class CellDK
extends Object
implements ServiceClient, PartUser, NodeUser, ParamDriven, Replicatable
This class has a cell's DK. Changes to the DK cause commands to other core parts, such as to add parts, provide part dk and do connections. Incremental changes to the DK are supported to better allow live systen editing. For example if this class receives a new set of Cell DK where only one part has bee added, it handles just the one part added.

Minor responsibilities are to handle start_commands itself.

***** TODO - Need to convert two more references from PartUser to ClientNeed. Then we can remove PartUser from this class.

We could make this a configurable model for any DK, but that is beyond our minimum essential requirements. :-)

The format for Container DK is best explained by this example with two parts.

   Type:      uhr.uniface.UF_void_Flexitron
   ServiceID: uhr.core.AppendPartWithPartDef
   Type:      uhr.uniface.UF_void_Flexitron_Container
   ServiceID: uhr.core.dk.CheckPart
   Type:      uhr.uniface.UF_void_Flexitron_Container
   ServiceID: uhr.core.attract.LinkClientHost

Returns:
the aide.
o setServiceNeeded 
 public void setServiceNeeded(ServiceNeed need,
                              Object service)
Sets the service provided by a host and identifed by the serviceID.

Parameters:
need - the need that described the service.
service - the attracted service.
o getPartNamesNeeded 
 public String[] getPartNamesNeeded()
Returns an array of the part names this part needs to do its work. These are "core.ConnectionRegistry", "core.MessageRouter".

Returns:
the ParamDriven aide.
o setDK 
 public void setDK(Object dk)
Sets the DK describing the part's mission.

Parameters:
param - the data structure containing the DK.
o replicate
