Class SimpleType<T>

public final class SimpleType<T> extends OpenType<T>

The open type descriptor for data values that are members of one of the simple types (such as an integer or a string). The other open types ({@link ArrayType}, {@link CompositeType}, {@link TabularType}) are constructed from one or more of these types. The simple types are formed from a small subset of basic Java types. As a result, the valid instances of this class are predefined, and no constructor is given for creating new instances.

Since: 1.5

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Compares this simple data type with another object for equality. The objects are judged to be equal if:

Parameters: obj the object to compare with.

Returns: true if the conditions above hold.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns the hash code of the simple data type. This is simply the hash code of the class name, which is the same element of the type compared as part of the {@link #equals(java.lang.Object)} method, thus ensuring that the hashcode is compatible with the equality test.

As instances of this class are immutable, the hash code is computed just once for each instance and reused throughout its life.

Returns: the hash code of this instance.

isValue

public boolean isValue(Object obj)
Returns true if the specified object is a member of this simple type. The object is judged to be so if it is non-null and its class name is the same as that returned by {@link SimpleType#getClassName()}.

Parameters: obj the object to test for membership.

Returns: true if the object is a member of this type.

readResolve

public Object readResolve()
Replaces instances of this class read from an {@link java.io.ObjectInputStream} with one of the predefined values. This ensures that each existing instance of this class is one of these unique instances.

Returns: the replacement object.

Throws: ObjectStreamException if the object can not be resolved.

toString

public String toString()

Returns a textual representation of this instance. This is constructed using the class name (javax.management.openmbean.SimpleType) and the name of the class the type represents.

As instances of this class are immutable, the return value is computed just once for each instance and reused throughout its life.

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