Method Detail

compact

@Deprecated
String compact()

Deprecated.

Returns the local identifier of this Id. The local identifier is defined to be free of separator characters that could potentially get into the way when creating file or directory names from the identifier. For example, given that the interface is implemented by a class representing CNRI handles, the identifier would then look something like 10.3930/ETHZ/abcd, whith 10.3930 being the handle prefix, ETH the authority and abcd the local part. toURI() would then return 10.3930-ETH-abcd or any other suitable form.

Returns:

a path separator-free representation of the identifier

toString

String toString()

Return a string representation of the identifier from which an object of type Id should be reconstructable.

Overrides:
