Interface OpenMBeanConstructorInfo

All Known Implementing Classes:
OpenMBeanConstructorInfoSupport

public interface OpenMBeanConstructorInfo

Describes a constructor for an open management bean. This interface includes those methods specified by MBeanConstructorInfo, so implementations should extend this class. The getSignature() method should return an array containing instances of OpenMBeanParameterInfo.

Since:
1.5

Method Summary
 boolean equals(Object obj)
          Compares this attribute with the supplied object.
 String getDescription()
          Returns a description of this constructor.
 String getName()
          Returns the name of this constructor.
 MBeanParameterInfo[] getSignature()
          Returns the constructor's signature, in the form of information on each parameter.
 int hashCode()
          Returns the hashcode of the constructor information as the sum of the hashcodes of the name and signature (calculated by java.util.Arrays.asList(signature).hashCode()).
 String toString()
          Returns a textual representation of this instance.
 

Method Detail

equals

boolean equals(Object obj)
Compares this attribute with the supplied object. This returns true iff the object is an instance of OpenMBeanConstructorInfo with an equal name and signature.

Overrides:
equals in class Object
Parameters:
obj - the object to compare.
Returns:
true if the object is a OpenMBeanParameterInfo instance, name.equals(object.getName()), and signature.equals(object.getSignature()).
See Also:
Object.hashCode()

getDescription

String getDescription()
Returns a description of this constructor.

Returns:
a human-readable description.

getName

String getName()
Returns the name of this constructor.

Returns:
the name of the constructor.

getSignature

MBeanParameterInfo[] getSignature()
Returns the constructor's signature, in the form of information on each parameter. Each parameter is described by an instance of OpenMBeanParameterInfo.

Returns:
an array of OpenMBeanParameterInfo objects, describing the constructor parameters.

hashCode

int hashCode()
Returns the hashcode of the constructor information as the sum of the hashcodes of the name and signature (calculated by java.util.Arrays.asList(signature).hashCode()).

Overrides:
hashCode in class Object
Returns:
the hashcode of the constructor information.
See Also:
Object.equals(Object), System.identityHashCode(Object)

toString

String toString()
Returns a textual representation of this instance. This is constructed using the class name (javax.management.openmbean.OpenMBeanConstructorInfo) along with the name and signature.

Overrides:
toString in class Object
Returns:
a @link{java.lang.String} instance representing the instance in textual form.

Object.getClass(), Object.hashCode(), Class.getName(), Integer.toHexString(int)
