Constructor Detail

public TrustEdge(IDPair _registrant0,
         IDPair _registrant1)

Method Detail

getBar

public String getBar()

Describes the bar against the trust edge, if any has been set. The description is intended for users to read. It should include details that may be of help in overcoming the bar. For instance, if the edge is barred because of a problem with a particular registration property (geohandle for instance), then the bar should point out the exact problem with that property (the specific syntax error, or whatever).

A barred trust edge has no effect on the trust network. It extends no trust.

Returns:

description of bar, or null if no bar is set
