AttributeChangeNotification

Class Overview

Provides definitions of the attribute change notifications sent by MBeans.

It's up to the MBean owning the attribute of interest to create and send attribute change notifications when the attribute change occurs. So the NotificationBroadcaster interface has to be implemented by any MBean for which an attribute change is of interest.

Example: If an MBean called myMbean needs to notify registered listeners when its attribute:

String myString

new AttributeChangeNotification(myMbean, sequenceNumber, timeStamp, msg, "myString", "String", oldValue, newValue);

[Expand] Inherited Methods
From class javax.management.Notification String getMessage() Get the notification message. long getSequenceNumber() Get the notification sequence number. long getTimeStamp() Get the notification timestamp. String getType() Get the notification type. Object getUserData() Get the user data. void setSequenceNumber(long sequenceNumber) Set the notification sequence number. void setSource(Object source) Sets the source. void setTimeStamp(long timeStamp) Set the notification timestamp. void setUserData(Object userData) Set the user data. String toString() Returns a String representation of this notification.
From class java.util.EventObject Object getSource() The object on which the Event initially occurred. String toString() Returns a String representation of this EventObject.
From class java.lang.Object Object clone() Creates and returns a copy of this object. boolean equals(Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. void finalize() Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. final Class<?> getClass() Returns the runtime class of this Object. int hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object. final void notify() Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor. final void notifyAll() Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor. String toString() Returns a string representation of the object. final void wait() Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object. final void wait(long timeout, int nanos) Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or some other thread interrupts the current thread, or a certain amount of real time has elapsed. final void wait(long timeout) Causes the current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed.
