Method Detail

getMember

MemberImpl getMember(Address address)

Gets the member for the given address.

Returns:

the found member, or null if not found. If uuid is null, null is returned.

getMemberList

Collection<MemberImpl> getMemberList()

Gets the collection of members.

TODO: The name of this method is confusing since it says that a list is returned, but a collection is returned. TODO: This method also is a bit of a duplicate since there already is getMembers. So I think this method can be dropped if we take care of the generics.
