All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, DescriptorAccess, java.io.Serializable

public class ModelMBeanAttributeInfo

extends MBeanAttributeInfo

implements DescriptorAccess, java.lang.Cloneable

The ModelMBeanAttributeInfo object describes an attribute of the ModelMBean. It is a subclass of MBeanAttributeInfo with the addition of an associated Descriptor and an implementation of the DescriptorAccess interface.

The fields in the descriptor are defined, but not limited to, the following:

 name           : attribute name
 descriptorType : must be "attribute"
 value          : current value for attribute
 default        : default value for attribute
 displayName    : name of attribute to be used in displays
 getMethod      : name of operation descriptor for get method
 setMethod      : name of operation descriptor for set method
 protocolMap    : object which implements the ProtocolMap interface: map of protocol names and protocol hints
 persistPolicy  : Update|OnTime|NoMoreOftenThan|Always|Never
 persistPeriod  : seconds - frequency of persist cycle. Used when persistPolicy is"OnTime" or "NoMoreOftenThan".
 currencyTimeLimit : how long value is valid, <0 never, =0 always, >0 seconds
 lastUpdatedTimeStamp : when value was set
 iterable       : T - object value supports Iterable interface, F - does not support Iterable interface
 visibility     : 1-4 where 1: always visible 4: rarely visible
 presentationString : xml formatted string to allow presentation of data
 

The default descriptor contains the name and descriptorType fields.

ModelMBeanAttributeInfo

public ModelMBeanAttributeInfo(ModelMBeanAttributeInfo attributeInfo)

Constructs a new ModelMBeanAttributeInfo object from this ModelMBeanAttributeInfo Object. A default descriptor will be created.

Parameters:

attributeInfo - the ModelMBeanAttributeInfo to be duplicated

Method Detail

getDescriptor

public Descriptor getDescriptor()

Gets a copy of the associated Descriptor for the ModelMBeanAttributeInfo

Specified by:

getDescriptor in interface DescriptorAccess

Returns:

Descriptor associated with the ModelMBeanAttributeInfo object.

setDescriptor

public void setDescriptor(Descriptor descriptor)

Sets associated Descriptor (full replace) for the ModelMBeanAttributeDescriptor. If the new Descriptor is null, then the associated Descriptor reverts to a default descriptor. The Descriptor is validated before it is assigned. If the new Descriptor is invalid, then an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

Specified by:

setDescriptor in interface DescriptorAccess

Parameters:

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Creates and returns a new ModelMBeanAttributeInfo which is a duplicate of this ModelMBeanAttributeInfo.

Overrides:

clone in class MBeanAttributeInfo

Throws:

RuntimeOperationsException - for illegal value for field URLName or field Values. If the descriptor construction fails for any reason, this exception will be thrown.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a human readable version of the ModelMBeanAttributeInfo instance
