Looking at the snippet below I assume that method may be analogous to
self in other languages. But what is the purpose of this intial return
statement?

Thanks,

jh

//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

protected boolean responseContainsURI(String uri) throws
URIException
{
return (method != null &&
method.getURI().getPath().indexOf(uri) != -1);

The java equivalent of "self" is "this". In your code snippet,
"method" is most likely a class variable.

It determines whether the contents of "method" are valid, for
some definition of valid.

Thanks, 'this' makes sense as much else looks like 'C'.
