Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`Node`	`getNode()`	Access the node where this slice resides.
`Service`	`getService()`	Access the service object which this slice is a part of.
`VerticalCommand`	`serve(HorizontalCommand cmd)`	Serves an incoming horizontal command, performing any required immediate processing, before turning it into a vertical command to be processed by the incoming filter chain.

- Method Detail
  - getService
```
Service getService()
```
    Access the service object which this slice is a part of.
    
    Returns:
    
    A Service object, that has this as one of its slices.
    
    See Also:
    
    Service.getSlice(String name)
  - getNode
```
Node getNode()
      throws ServiceException
```
    Access the node where this slice resides.
    
    Throws:
    
    ServiceException - If some problems occur in retrieving the local node.
  - serve
```
VerticalCommand serve(HorizontalCommand cmd)
```
    Serves an incoming horizontal command, performing any required immediate processing, before turning it into a vertical command to be processed by the incoming filter chain.
    
    Parameters:
    
    cmd - The command that is to be served.
    
    Returns:
    
    A vertical command, that will be processed by the incoming filter chain of the receiving node. If null is returned, no filter/sink processing will happen. This feature can be used to decouple incoming horizontal interaction patterns from vertical incoming commands (e.g. no incoming vertical command is generated until a required set of horizontal commands has been received).
