All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable , Cloneable

Direct Known Subclasses:

ModelMBeanOperationInfo , OpenMBeanOperationInfoSupport

public class MBeanOperationInfo
extends MBeanFeatureInfo   
implements Serializable   , Cloneable   

Describes a management operation exposed by an MBean. Instances of this class are immutable. Subclasses may be mutable but this is not recommended.

Since:

1.5

Field Summary

static int	ACTION Indicates that the operation is a write-like, and would modify the MBean in some way, typically by writing some value or changing a configuration.
static int	ACTION_INFO Indicates that the operation is both read-like and write-like.
static int	INFO Indicates that the operation is read-like, it basically returns information.
static int	UNKNOWN Indicates that the operation has an "unknown" nature.

                          Method    method)
                   throws IllegalArgumentException   

Constructs an MBeanOperationInfo object.

Parameters:

method - The java.lang.reflect.Method object describing the MBean operation.

description - A human readable description of the operation.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException

MBeanOperationInfo

public MBeanOperationInfo(String    name,
                          String    description,
                          MBeanParameterInfo   [] signature,

                   throws IllegalArgumentException   

Constructs an MBeanOperationInfo object.

Parameters:

name - The name of the method.

description - A human readable description of the operation.

signature - MBeanParameterInfo objects describing the parameters(arguments) of the method. This may be null with the same effect as a zero-length array.

type - The type of the method's return value.

impact - The impact of the method, one of INFO, ACTION, ACTION_INFO, UNKNOWN.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException

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

getReturnType

public String    getReturnType()

Returns the type of the method's return value.

Returns:

the return type.

getSignature

public MBeanParameterInfo   [] getSignature()

Returns the list of parameters for this operation. Each parameter is described by an MBeanParameterInfo object.

The returned array is a shallow copy of the internal array, which means that it is a copy of the internal array of references to the MBeanParameterInfo objects but that each referenced MBeanParameterInfo object is not copied.

Returns:

An array of MBeanParameterInfo objects.

getImpact

public int getImpact()

Returns the impact of the method, one of INFO, ACTION, ACTION_INFO, UNKNOWN.

Returns:

the impact code.

equals

public boolean equals(Object    o)

Compare this MBeanOperationInfo to another.

Overrides:

equals in class MBeanFeatureInfo

Parameters:

o - the object to compare to.

Returns:

true iff o is an MBeanOperationInfo such that its MBeanFeatureInfo.getName() , getReturnType() , MBeanFeatureInfo.getDescription() , getImpact() , and getSignature() values are equal (not necessarily identical) to those of this MBeanConstructorInfo. Two signature arrays are equal if their elements are pairwise equal.

Object.hashCode() , Hashtable

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Description copied from class: Object

Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hashtables such as those provided by java.util.Hashtable.

The general contract of hashCode is:

• Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
• If two objects are equal according to the equals(Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
• It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the Object.equals(java.lang.Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hashtables.

As much as is reasonably practical, the hashCode method defined by class Object does return distinct integers for distinct objects. (This is typically implemented by converting the internal address of the object into an integer, but this implementation technique is not required by the Java^TM programming language.)

Overrides:

hashCode in class MBeanFeatureInfo

Returns:

a hash code value for this object.
