Public Constructors

public MBeanConstructorInfo (String description, Constructor constructor)

Constructs an MBeanConstructorInfo object. The Descriptor of the constructed object will include fields contributed by any annotations on the Constructor object that contain the DescriptorKey meta-annotation.

Parameters
description A human readable description of the operation.
constructor The java.lang.reflect.Constructor object describing the MBean constructor.

public MBeanConstructorInfo (String name, String description, MBeanParameterInfo[] signature)

Constructs an MBeanConstructorInfo object.

Parameters
name The name of the constructor.
description A human readable description of the constructor.
signature MBeanParameterInfo objects describing the parameters(arguments) of the constructor. This may be null with the same effect as a zero-length array.

public MBeanConstructorInfo (String name, String description, MBeanParameterInfo[] signature, Descriptor descriptor)

Constructs an MBeanConstructorInfo object.

Parameters
name The name of the constructor.
description A human readable description of the constructor.
signature MBeanParameterInfo objects describing the parameters(arguments) of the constructor. This may be null with the same effect as a zero-length array.
descriptor The descriptor for the constructor. This may be null which is equivalent to an empty descriptor.

Public Methods

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.

Returns
  • a clone of this instance.

public boolean equals (Object o)

Compare this MBeanConstructorInfo to another.

Parameters
o the object to compare to.
Returns
  • true if and only if o is an MBeanConstructorInfo such that its getName(), getDescription(), getSignature(), and getDescriptor() values are equal (not necessarily identical) to those of this MBeanConstructorInfo. Two signature arrays are equal if their elements are pairwise equal.

public MBeanParameterInfo[] getSignature ()

Returns the list of parameters for this constructor. 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.

public int hashCode ()

Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hashtables such as those provided by java.util.Hashtable.

The general contract of hashCode is:

  • Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
  • If two objects are equal according to the equals(Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
  • It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the equals(java.lang.Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hashtables.

As much as is reasonably practical, the hashCode method defined by class Object does return distinct integers for distinct objects. (This is typically implemented by converting the internal address of the object into an integer, but this implementation technique is not required by the JavaTM programming language.)

Returns
  • a hash code value for this object.

public String toString ()

Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the toString method returns a string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.

The toString method for class Object returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character `@', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of: 

 getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())

Returns
  • a string representation of the object.
