Constructor Detail

MBeanAttributeInfo

public MBeanAttributeInfo(String name,
                          String type,
                          String description,
                          boolean isReadable,
                          boolean isWritable,
                          boolean isIs)

Constructs an MBeanAttributeInfo object.

Parameters:

name - The name of the attribute.

type - The type or class name of the attribute.

description - A human readable description of the attribute.

isReadable - True if the attribute has a getter method, false otherwise.

isWritable - True if the attribute has a setter method, false otherwise.

isIs - True if this attribute has an "is" getter, false otherwise.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if isIs is true but isReadable is not, or if isIs is true and type is not boolean or java.lang.Boolean. (New code should always use boolean rather than java.lang.Boolean.)

MBeanAttributeInfo

public MBeanAttributeInfo(String name,
                          String type,
                          String description,
                          boolean isReadable,
                          boolean isWritable,
                          boolean isIs,
                          Descriptor descriptor)

Constructs an MBeanAttributeInfo object.

Parameters:

name - The name of the attribute.

type - The type or class name of the attribute.

description - A human readable description of the attribute.

isReadable - True if the attribute has a getter method, false otherwise.

isWritable - True if the attribute has a setter method, false otherwise.

isIs - True if this attribute has an "is" getter, false otherwise.

descriptor - The descriptor for the attribute. This may be null which is equivalent to an empty descriptor.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if isIs is true but isReadable is not, or if isIs is true and type is not boolean or java.lang.Boolean. (New code should always use boolean rather than java.lang.Boolean.)

MBeanAttributeInfo

public MBeanAttributeInfo(String name,
                          String description,
                          Method getter,
                          Method setter)
                   throws IntrospectionException

This constructor takes the name of a simple attribute, and Method objects for reading and writing the attribute. The Descriptor of the constructed object will include fields contributed by any annotations on the Method objects that contain the DescriptorKey meta-annotation.

Parameters:

name - The programmatic name of the attribute.

description - A human readable description of the attribute.

getter - The method used for reading the attribute value. May be null if the property is write-only.

setter - The method used for writing the attribute value. May be null if the attribute is read-only.

Throws:

IntrospectionException - There is a consistency problem in the definition of this attribute.

Method Detail

clone

public Object clone()

Returns a shallow clone of this instance. The clone is obtained by simply calling super.clone(), thus calling the default native shallow cloning mechanism implemented by Object.clone(). No deeper cloning of any internal field is made.

Since this class is immutable, cloning is chiefly of interest to subclasses.

Overrides:

clone in class Object

Returns:

a clone of this instance.

See Also:

Cloneable

getType

public String getType()

Returns the class name of the attribute.

Returns:

the class name.

isReadable

public boolean isReadable()

Whether the value of the attribute can be read.

Returns:

True if the attribute can be read, false otherwise.

isWritable

public boolean isWritable()

Whether new values can be written to the attribute.

Returns:

True if the attribute can be written to, false otherwise.

isIs

public boolean isIs()

Indicates if this attribute has an "is" getter.

Returns:

true if this attribute has an "is" getter.

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Compare this MBeanAttributeInfo to another.

Overrides:

equals in class MBeanFeatureInfo

Parameters:

o - the object to compare to.

Returns:

true if and only if o is an MBeanAttributeInfo such that its MBeanFeatureInfo.getName(), getType(), MBeanFeatureInfo.getDescription(), isReadable(), isWritable(), and isIs() values are equal (not necessarily identical) to those of this MBeanAttributeInfo.
