Class RefAddr

public abstract class RefAddr extends Object implements Serializable

Abstract superclass of addresses used in References. A Reference object contains a Vector of RefAddrs which are used to reference/address the object. This abstract superclass keeps track of the type of address, which will be returned by getType(). And defines a abstract method getContent() which must be implemented in concrete subclasses such as BinaryRefAddr and StringRefAddr.

Since: 1.3

Field Summary
protected String	addrType The string resprenstation of the type of address.

Constructor Summary
protected	RefAddr(String addrType) Protected constructor for use by subclasses.

Method Summary
boolean	equals(Object o) Checks if the object is a RefAddr with the same type and content.
abstract Object	getContent() Returns the possibly null content of this RefAddr.
String	getType() Returns the non-null address type given to the constructor.
int	hashCode() Returns the hashCode which is the hasCode of the String returned by `getType()` plus the hashCode of the Object returned by `getContent` (when not null).
String	toString() Returns a String representation of the RefAddr.
