The name of the instance of the actor is StringConst. It an
instance of the Java class ptolemy.actor.lib.StringConst.<br>
<br>
If you pasted another StringConst in, its name would be
StringConst1 (I think) and it would be an instance of the Java
class ptolemy.actor.lib.StringConst.<br>
<br>
getName() returns the name of the actor instance which is unique.<br>
<br>
In your screen shot, you have a Parameter that is an instance of
the ptolemy.data.expr.TemporaryVariable that is contained in a
StringConst actor.<br>
<br>

<div>Hi Donghoon,<br>
<br>
In Java, the fully qualified classname must be unique.
There is some magic that can be done with different
class loaders and such, but in general, and in Kepler
and Ptolemy, the fully qualified classname will be
unique. The fully qualified classname includes the
package, So, ptolemy.actor.lib.StringConstant is one
actor. There can be another actor,
ptolemy.actor.lib.mypackage.StringConstant. Both actors
could be used in a model.<br>
<br>
Note that Kepler has actor oriented classes (see <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/publications/papers/07/classesandInheritance/index.htm"
target="_blank">http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/publications/papers/07/classesandInheritance/index.htm</a>).
The quick summary of actor oriented classes is that they
are chunks of functionality implemented as Ptolemy
models that can be reused by instantiation or
subclassing. The Sinewave actor is an actor-oriented
class. When you are calling
parameter.getContainer().getClassName(), you are getting
the className which may or may not be the same as the
Java class name.<br>
<br>
Probably the method that is being called is in
ptolemy/kernel/util/NamedObj.java:<br>
<blockquote type="cite"> /** Return the MoML class
name. This is either
the
<br>
* class of which this object is an instance, or
if
this
<br>
* object is itself a class, then the class that
it
extends.
<br>
* By default, it will be the Java class name of
this
object.
<br>
* This method never returns
null.
<br>
* @return The MoML class
name.
<br>
* @see
MoMLExportable
<br>
* @see
#setClassName(String)
<br>
*/<br>
@Override<br>
public String getClassName() {<br>
if (_className == null) {<br>
_className = getClass().getName();<br>
}<br>
<br>
return _className;<br>
}<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
_className is set when instantiating clones for
actor-oriented classes.<br>
<br>
<br>
To get the last part of the fully qualified classname,
see the lastIndexOf() method in the java.lang.String
class:
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#lastIndexOf-int"
target="_blank">https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#lastIndexOf-int</a>-<br>
<br>
However, I think you just want to call
NamedObj.getName(): parameter.getContainer().getName()
should do the trick.<br>

<div>In ActorReference.pdf file, there are
explanations of each actors. I have questions
for this reference.</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>I can see the class name next to an actor.
For example, String Constant
(ptolemy.actor.lib.StringConst). The class
name must be unique
(i.e., ptolemy.actor.lib.StringConst). If
so, is the last classname unique? In other
words, "StringConst" is also unique?</li>
<li>I can see the value of "StringConst" in
_container in parameter class. How can I
just extract only last name "StringConst"?
Actually, I have tried several ways in
SQLRecording.java like below:</li>
<ul>
<li> System.out.println("3: " +
parameter.getContainer().toplevel().toString());</li>
<li> System.out.println("4: " +
parameter.getContainer().getClassName());</li>
<li> System.out.println("5: " +
parameter.getContainer());</li>
</ul>
