Class Overview

Class TextSyntax is an abstract base class providing the common implementation of all attributes whose value is a string. The text attribute includes a locale to indicate the natural language. Thus, a text attribute always represents a localized string. Once constructed, a text attribute's value is immutable.

Public Methods

public boolean equals (Object object)

Returns whether this text attribute is equivalent to the passed in object. To be equivalent, all of the following conditions must be true:

  1. object is not null.
  2. object is an instance of class TextSyntax.
  3. This text attribute's underlying string and object's underlying string are equal.
  4. This text attribute's locale and object's locale are equal.

Parameters
object Object to compare to.
Returns
  • True if object is equivalent to this text attribute, false otherwise.

public Locale getLocale ()

Returns this text attribute's text string's natural language (locale).

Returns
  • the locale

public String getValue ()

Returns this text attribute's text string.

Returns
  • the text string.

public int hashCode ()

Returns a hashcode for this text attribute.

Returns
  • A hashcode value for this object.

public String toString ()

Returns a String identifying this text attribute. The String is the attribute's underlying text string.

Returns
  • A String identifying this object.
