  • Field Details

  • Constructor Details

    • ImmutableDescriptor

      public ImmutableDescriptor​(String[] fieldNames, Object[] fieldValues)
      Construct a descriptor containing the given fields and values.
      Parameters:
      fieldNames - the field names
      fieldValues - the field values
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if either array is null, or if the arrays have different sizes, or if a field name is null or empty, or if the same field name appears more than once.

    • ImmutableDescriptor

      public ImmutableDescriptor​(String... fields)
      Construct a descriptor containing the given fields. Each String must be of the form fieldName=fieldValue. The field name ends at the first = character; for example if the String is a=b=c then the field name is a and its value is b=c.
      Parameters:
      fields - the field names
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the parameter is null, or if a field name is empty, or if the same field name appears more than once, or if one of the strings does not contain an = character.

    • ImmutableDescriptor

      public ImmutableDescriptor​(Map<String,​?> fields)

      Construct a descriptor where the names and values of the fields are the keys and values of the given Map.

      Parameters:
      fields - the field names and values
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the parameter is null, or if a field name is null or empty, or if the same field name appears more than once (which can happen because field names are not case sensitive).

  • Method Details

    • union

      public static ImmutableDescriptor union​(Descriptor... descriptors)

      Return an ImmutableDescriptor whose contents are the union of the given descriptors. Every field name that appears in any of the descriptors will appear in the result with the value that it has when the method is called. Subsequent changes to any of the descriptors do not affect the ImmutableDescriptor returned here.

      In the simplest case, there is only one descriptor and the returned ImmutableDescriptor is a copy of its fields at the time this method is called:

       Descriptor d = something();
 ImmutableDescriptor copy = ImmutableDescriptor.union(d);
      Parameters:
      descriptors - the descriptors to be combined. Any of the descriptors can be null, in which case it is skipped.
      Returns:
      an ImmutableDescriptor that is the union of the given descriptors. The returned object may be identical to one of the input descriptors if it is an ImmutableDescriptor that contains all of the required fields.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if two Descriptors contain the same field name with different associated values. Primitive array values are considered the same if they are of the same type with the same elements. Object array values are considered the same if Arrays.deepEquals(Object[],Object[]) returns true.

    • equals

      public boolean equals​(Object o)
      Compares this descriptor to the given object. The objects are equal if the given object is also a Descriptor, and if the two Descriptors have the same field names (possibly differing in case) and the same associated values. The respective values for a field in the two Descriptors are equal if the following conditions hold:
      • If one value is null then the other must be too.
      • If one value is a primitive array then the other must be a primitive array of the same type with the same elements.
      • If one value is an object array then the other must be too and Arrays.deepEquals(Object[],Object[]) must return true.
      • Otherwise Object.equals(Object) must return true.
      Specified by:
      equals in interface Descriptor
      Overrides:
      equals in class Object
      Parameters:
      o - the object to compare with.
      Returns:
      true if the objects are the same; false otherwise.

    • hashCode

      public int hashCode()

      Returns the hash code value for this descriptor. The hash code is computed as the sum of the hash codes for each field in the descriptor. The hash code of a field with name n and value v is n.toLowerCase().hashCode() ^ h. Here h is the hash code of v, computed as follows:

      • If v is null then h is 0.
      • If v is a primitive array then h is computed using the appropriate overloading of java.util.Arrays.hashCode.
      • If v is an object array then h is computed using Arrays.deepHashCode(Object[]).
      • Otherwise h is v.hashCode().
      Specified by:
      hashCode in interface Descriptor
      Overrides:
      hashCode in class Object
      Returns:
      A hash code value for this object.
      See Also:
      Object.equals(java.lang.Object), System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)

    • isValid

      public boolean isValid()
      Returns true if all of the fields have legal values given their names. This method always returns true, but a subclass can override it to return false when appropriate.
      Specified by:
      isValid in interface Descriptor
      Returns:
      true if the values are legal.
      Throws:
      RuntimeOperationsException - if the validity checking fails. The method returns false if the descriptor is not valid, but throws this exception if the attempt to determine validity fails.

    • clone

      public Descriptor clone()

      Returns a descriptor which is equal to this descriptor. Changes to the returned descriptor will have no effect on this descriptor, and vice versa.

      This method returns the object on which it is called. A subclass can override it to return another object provided the contract is respected.

      Specified by:
      clone in interface Descriptor
      Overrides:
      clone in class Object
      Returns:
      a clone of this instance.
      Throws:
      RuntimeOperationsException - for illegal value for field Names or field Values. If the descriptor construction fails for any reason, this exception will be thrown.

    • setFields

      public final void setFields​(String[] fieldNames, Object[] fieldValues) throws RuntimeOperationsException
      This operation is unsupported since this class is immutable. If this call would change a mutable descriptor with the same contents, then a RuntimeOperationsException wrapping an UnsupportedOperationException is thrown. Otherwise, the behavior is the same as it would be for a mutable descriptor: either an exception is thrown because of illegal parameters, or there is no effect.
      Specified by:
      setFields in interface Descriptor
      Parameters:
      fieldNames - String array of field names. The array and array elements cannot be null.
      fieldValues - Object array of the corresponding field values. The array cannot be null. Elements of the array can be null.
      Throws:
      RuntimeOperationsException - if the change fails for any reason. Wrapped exception is IllegalArgumentException if fieldNames or fieldValues is null, or if the arrays are of different lengths, or if there is an illegal value in one of them. Wrapped exception is UnsupportedOperationException if the descriptor is immutable, and the call would change its contents.

      Descriptor.getFields()

    • setField

      public final void setField​(String fieldName, Object fieldValue) throws RuntimeOperationsException
      This operation is unsupported since this class is immutable. If this call would change a mutable descriptor with the same contents, then a RuntimeOperationsException wrapping an UnsupportedOperationException is thrown. Otherwise, the behavior is the same as it would be for a mutable descriptor: either an exception is thrown because of illegal parameters, or there is no effect.
      Specified by:
      setField in interface Descriptor
      Parameters:
      fieldName - The field name to be set. Cannot be null or empty.
      fieldValue - The field value to be set for the field name. Can be null if that is a valid value for the field.
      Throws:
      RuntimeOperationsException - if the field name or field value is illegal (wrapped exception is IllegalArgumentException); or if the descriptor is immutable (wrapped exception is UnsupportedOperationException).

    • removeField

      public final void removeField​(String fieldName)
      Removes a field from the descriptor.
      Specified by:
      removeField in interface Descriptor
      Parameters:
      fieldName - String name of the field to be removed. If the field name is illegal or the field is not found, no exception is thrown.
      Throws:
      RuntimeOperationsException - if a field of the given name exists and the descriptor is immutable. The wrapped exception will be an UnsupportedOperationException.
