All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable, Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

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.

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.

Constructor Detail

MBeanOperationInfo

public MBeanOperationInfo(String description,
                          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 - if the name of method is not a valid Java identifier, or if the name of its return type or one of its parameter types is not a syntactically legal Java type name. Java reserved words are not considered illegal here. If method comes from a class compiled from Java, this exception cannot happen.

MBeanOperationInfo

public MBeanOperationInfo(String name,
                          String description,
                          MBeanParameterInfo[] signature,
                          String type,
                          int impact)
                   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 - if name is not a valid Java identifier or if type is not a syntactically legal Java type name. Java reserved words are not considered illegal here.

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

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.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class MBeanFeatureInfo
