OpenType JDK 1.6)

Constructors

protected OpenType (String className, String typeName, String description) throws OpenDataException

Constructs an OpenType instance (actually a subclass instance as OpenType is abstract), checking for the validity of the given parameters.

Constructs an OpenType instance (actually a subclass instance as OpenType is abstract),
checking for the validity of the given parameters.
The validity constraints are described below for each parameter.

Parameters:
- className - The fully qualified Java class name of the open data values this open type describes. The valid Java class names allowed for open data values are listed in {@link #ALLOWED_CLASSNAMES_LIST ALLOWED_CLASSNAMES_LIST}. A multidimensional array of any one of these classes or their corresponding primitive types is also an allowed class, in which case the class name follows the rules defined by the method {@link Class#getName() getName()} of java.lang.Class. For example, a 3-dimensional array of Strings has for class name "[[[Ljava.lang.String;" (without the quotes).

- typeName - The name given to the open type this instance represents; cannot be a null or empty string.

- description - The human readable description of the open type this instance represents; cannot be a null or empty string.

Throws:
- IllegalArgumentException - if className, typeName or description is a null or empty string

- OpenDataException - if className is not one of the allowed Java class names for open data

Methods

Hide/Show inherited methods

publicabstract boolean equals (Object obj)

Compares the specified obj parameter with this open type instance for equality.

Compares the specified obj parameter with this
open type instance for equality.
Returns: true if this object and obj are equal.
Parameters:
- obj - the object to compare to.

public String getClassName ()

Returns the fully qualified Java class name of the open data values this open type describes.

Returns the fully qualified Java class name of the open data values
this open type describes.
The only possible Java class names for open data values are listed in
ALLOWED_CLASSNAMES_LIST.
A multidimensional array of any one of these classes or their
corresponding primitive types is also an allowed class,
in which case the class name follows the rules defined by the method
getName() of java.lang.Class.
For example, a 3-dimensional array of Strings has for class name
"[[[Ljava.lang.String;" (without the quotes),
a 3-dimensional array of Integers has for class name
"[[[Ljava.lang.Integer;" (without the quotes),
and a 3-dimensional array of int has for class name
"[[[I" (without the quotes)
Returns: the class name.

public String getDescription ()

Returns the text description of this OpenType instance.

Returns the text description of this OpenType instance.
Returns: the description.

pack-privatesynchronized Descriptor getDescriptor ()

public String getTypeName ()

Returns the name of this OpenType instance.

Returns the name of this OpenType instance.
Returns: the type name.

publicabstract int hashCode ()

public boolean isArray ()

Returns true if the open data values this open type describes are arrays, false otherwise.

Returns true if the open data values this open
type describes are arrays, false otherwise.
Returns: true if this is an array type.

pack-private boolean isAssignableFrom (OpenType<Object> ot)

Tests whether values of the given type can be assigned to this open type.

publicabstract boolean isValue (Object obj)

Tests whether obj is a value for this open type.

Tests whether obj is a value for this open type.
Returns: true if obj is a value for this open type, false otherwise.
Parameters:
- obj - the object to be tested for validity.

publicabstract String toString ()

Returns a string representation of this open type instance.
