Constructors

o EProcess 
  public EProcess(String module,
                  String name,
                  EList params) throws JiveSecurityException, JiveIOException, JiveException

Throws: JiveSecurityException
is thrown if a security violation occurred.
Throws: JiveIOException
is thrown if a communication error occurred.
Throws: JiveException
is thrown with an error text given by the server.
o EProcess 
  public EProcess(EAtom module,
                  EAtom name,
                  EList params) throws JiveSecurityException, JiveIOException, JiveException
Spawns a new Erlang process and creates a Process class representing the Erlang Pid.
Throws: JiveSecurityException
is thrown if a security violation occurred.
Throws: JiveIOException
is thrown if a communication error occurred.
Throws: JiveException
is thrown with a error text given by the server.
o EProcess 
  protected EProcess(int ePid)
Create a EProcess wrapper around a given Pid value. Used only by class ESock to create EProcesses when spawning.

Methods

o value 
  public int value()
Returns the Pid value representing the Erlang Pid.
o send 
  public void send(EVar data) throws JiveIOException
Sends a message to the Erlang Process represented by this EProcess class.
Throws: JiveIOException
if a connection error occurred.
o pack 
  public byte[] pack()
Packs the Pid value into a byte array. Used when sending the Pid to an Erlang server.
Overrides:
pack in class EVar
o setValue 
  protected void setValue(int ePid)
Sets the internal pid-id value. Only used by EReceiver to reuse the self-pid object with different internal pid-id values.
