All Implemented Interfaces:

public class ModelMBeanAttributeInfo
extends MBeanAttributeInfo
implements DescriptorAccess

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 Descriptor interface: mappings must be appropriate for the attribute
                  and entries can be updated or augmented at runtime.
 persistPolicy  : OnUpdate|OnTimer|NoMoreOftenThan|OnUnregister|Always|Never  
 persistPeriod  : seconds - frequency of persist cycle. Used when persistPolicy is"OnTimer" or "NoMoreOftenThan".  
 currencyTimeLimit : how long value is valid, <0 never, =0 always, >0 seconds
 lastUpdatedTimeStamp : when value was set  
 visibility     : 1-4 where 1: always visible 4: rarely visible  
 presentationString : xml formatted string to allow presentation of data 
 

Note: because of inconsistencies in previous versions of this specification, it is recommended not to use negative or zero values for currencyTimeLimit. To indicate that a cached value is never valid, omit the currencyTimeLimit field. To indicate that it is always valid, use a very large number for this field.

Constructor Detail

ModelMBeanAttributeInfo

public ModelMBeanAttributeInfo(String name,
                               String description,
                               Method getter,
                               Method setter)
                        throws IntrospectionException

Constructs a ModelMBeanAttributeInfo object with a default descriptor. The Descriptor of the constructed object will include fields contributed by any annotations on the Method objects that contain the DescriptorKey meta-annotation.

Parameters:

name - The name of the attribute.

description - A human readable description of the attribute. Optional.

getter - The method used for reading the attribute value. May be null if the property is write-only.

setter - The method used for writing the attribute value. May be null if the attribute is read-only.

Throws:

IntrospectionException - There is a consistency problem in the definition of this attribute.

ModelMBeanAttributeInfo

public ModelMBeanAttributeInfo(String name,
                               String description,
                               Method getter,
                               Method setter,
                               Descriptor descriptor)
                        throws IntrospectionException

Constructs a ModelMBeanAttributeInfo object. The Descriptor of the constructed object will include fields contributed by any annotations on the Method objects that contain the DescriptorKey meta-annotation.

Parameters:

name - The name of the attribute.

description - A human readable description of the attribute. Optional.

getter - The method used for reading the attribute value. May be null if the property is write-only.

setter - The method used for writing the attribute value. May be null if the attribute is read-only.

descriptor - An instance of Descriptor containing the appropriate metadata for this instance of the Attribute. If it is null, then a default descriptor will be created. If the descriptor does not contain the field "displayName" this field is added in the descriptor with its default value.

Throws:

IntrospectionException - There is a consistency problem in the definition of this attribute.

RuntimeOperationsException - Wraps an IllegalArgumentException. The descriptor is invalid, or descriptor field "name" is not equal to name parameter, or descriptor field "DescriptorType" is not equal to "attribute".
