public interface

OpenMBeanOperationInfo

javax.management.openmbean.OpenMBeanOperationInfo
Known Indirect Subclasses

Class Overview

Describes an operation of an Open MBean.

This interface declares the same methods as the class MBeanOperationInfo. A class implementing this interface (typically OpenMBeanOperationInfoSupport) should extend MBeanOperationInfo.

The getSignature() method should return at runtime an array of instances of a subclass of MBeanParameterInfo which implements the OpenMBeanParameterInfo interface (typically OpenMBeanParameterInfoSupport).

Summary

Public Methods
abstract boolean equals(Object obj)
Compares the specified obj parameter with this OpenMBeanOperationInfo instance for equality.
abstract String getDescription()
Returns a human readable description of the operation described by this OpenMBeanOperationInfo instance.
abstract int getImpact()
Returns an int constant qualifying the impact of the operation described by this OpenMBeanOperationInfo instance.
abstract String getName()
Returns the name of the operation described by this OpenMBeanOperationInfo instance.
abstract OpenType<?> getReturnOpenType()
Returns the open type of the values returned by the operation described by this OpenMBeanOperationInfo instance.
abstract String getReturnType()
Returns the fully qualified Java class name of the values returned by the operation described by this OpenMBeanOperationInfo instance.
abstract MBeanParameterInfo[] getSignature()
Returns an array of OpenMBeanParameterInfo instances describing each parameter in the signature of the operation described by this OpenMBeanOperationInfo instance.
abstract int hashCode()
Returns the hash code value for this OpenMBeanOperationInfo instance.
abstract String toString()
Returns a string representation of this OpenMBeanOperationInfo instance.

Public Methods

public abstract boolean equals (Object obj)

Compares the specified obj parameter with this OpenMBeanOperationInfo instance for equality.

Returns true if and only if all of the following statements are true:

  • obj is non null,
  • obj also implements the OpenMBeanOperationInfo interface,
  • their names are equal
  • their signatures are equal
  • their return open types are equal
  • their impacts are equal
This ensures that this equals method works properly for obj parameters which are different implementations of the OpenMBeanOperationInfo interface.
 

Parameters
obj the object to be compared for equality with this OpenMBeanOperationInfo instance;
Returns
  • true if the specified object is equal to this OpenMBeanOperationInfo instance.

public abstract String getDescription ()

Returns a human readable description of the operation described by this OpenMBeanOperationInfo instance.

Returns
  • the description.

public abstract int getImpact ()

Returns an int constant qualifying the impact of the operation described by this OpenMBeanOperationInfo instance. The returned constant is one of INFO, ACTION, ACTION_INFO, or UNKNOWN.

Returns
  • the impact code.

public abstract String getName ()

Returns the name of the operation described by this OpenMBeanOperationInfo instance.

Returns
  • the name.

public abstract OpenType<?> getReturnOpenType ()

Returns the open type of the values returned by the operation described by this OpenMBeanOperationInfo instance.

Returns
  • the return type.

public abstract String getReturnType ()

Returns the fully qualified Java class name of the values returned by the operation described by this OpenMBeanOperationInfo instance. This method should return the same value as a call to getReturnOpenType().getClassName().

Returns
  • the return type.

public abstract MBeanParameterInfo[] getSignature ()

Returns an array of OpenMBeanParameterInfo instances describing each parameter in the signature of the operation described by this OpenMBeanOperationInfo instance. Each instance in the returned array should actually be a subclass of MBeanParameterInfo which implements the OpenMBeanParameterInfo interface (typically OpenMBeanParameterInfoSupport).

Returns
  • the signature.

public abstract int hashCode ()

Returns the hash code value for this OpenMBeanOperationInfo instance.

The hash code of an OpenMBeanOperationInfo instance is the sum of the hash codes of all elements of information used in equals comparisons (ie: its name, return open type, impact and signature, where the signature hashCode is calculated by a call to java.util.Arrays.asList(this.getSignature).hashCode()).

This ensures that t1.equals(t2) implies that t1.hashCode()==t2.hashCode() for any two OpenMBeanOperationInfo instances t1 and t2, as required by the general contract of the method Object.hashCode().

Returns
  • the hash code value for this OpenMBeanOperationInfo instance

public abstract String toString ()

Returns a string representation of this OpenMBeanOperationInfo instance.

The string representation consists of the name of this class (ie javax.management.openmbean.OpenMBeanOperationInfo), and the name, signature, return open type and impact of the described operation.

Returns
  • a string representation of this OpenMBeanOperationInfo instance
