Constructor Details
-
ImmutableDescriptor
Construct a descriptor containing the given fields and values.- Parameters:
fieldNames
- the field namesfieldValues
- 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
Construct a descriptor containing the given fields. Each String must be of the formfieldName=fieldValue
. The field name ends at the first=
character; for example if the String isa=b=c
then the field name isa
and its value isb=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
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
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 ifArrays.deepEquals(Object[],Object[])
returns true.
-
getFieldValue
Description copied from interface:Descriptor
Returns the value for a specific field name, or null if no value is present for that name.- Specified by:
getFieldValue
in interfaceDescriptor
- Parameters:
fieldName
- the field name.- Returns:
- the corresponding value, or null if the field is not present.
-
getFields
Description copied from interface:Descriptor
Returns all of the fields contained in this descriptor as a string array.- Specified by:
getFields
in interfaceDescriptor
- Returns:
- String array of fields in the format fieldName=fieldValue
If the value of a field is not a String, then the toString() method will be called on it and the returned value, enclosed in parentheses, used as the value for the field in the returned array. If the value of a field is null, then the value of the field in the returned array will be empty. If the descriptor is empty, you will get an empty array. - See Also:
-
getFieldValues
Description copied from interface:Descriptor
Returns all the field values in the descriptor as an array of Objects. The returned values are in the same order as thefieldNames
String array parameter.- Specified by:
getFieldValues
in interfaceDescriptor
- Parameters:
fieldNames
- String array of the names of the fields that the values should be returned for. If the array is empty then an empty array will be returned. If the array is null then all values will be returned, as if the parameter were the array returned byDescriptor.getFieldNames()
. If a field name in the array does not exist, including the case where it is null or the empty string, then null is returned for the matching array element being returned.- Returns:
- Object array of field values. If the list of
fieldNames
is empty, you will get an empty array.
-
getFieldNames
Description copied from interface:Descriptor
Returns all the field names in the descriptor.- Specified by:
getFieldNames
in interfaceDescriptor
- Returns:
- String array of field names. If the descriptor is empty, you will get an empty array.
-
equals
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 interfaceDescriptor
- Overrides:
equals
in classObject
- Parameters:
o
- the object to compare with.- Returns:
true
if the objects are the same;false
otherwise.- See Also:
-
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 valuev
isn.toLowerCase().hashCode() ^ h
. Hereh
is the hash code ofv
, computed as follows:- If
v
is null thenh
is 0. - If
v
is a primitive array thenh
is computed using the appropriate overloading ofjava.util.Arrays.hashCode
. - If
v
is an object array thenh
is computed usingArrays.deepHashCode(Object[])
. - Otherwise
h
isv.hashCode()
.
- Specified by:
hashCode
in interfaceDescriptor
- Overrides:
hashCode
in classObject
- Returns:
- A hash code value for this object.
- See Also:
- If
-
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 interfaceDescriptor
- 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
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 interfaceDescriptor
- Overrides:
clone
in classObject
- 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.- See Also:
-
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 aRuntimeOperationsException
wrapping anUnsupportedOperationException
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 interfaceDescriptor
- 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 isIllegalArgumentException
iffieldNames
orfieldValues
is null, or if the arrays are of different lengths, or if there is an illegal value in one of them. Wrapped exception isUnsupportedOperationException
if the descriptor is immutable, and the call would change its contents.- See Also:
-
setField
This operation is unsupported since this class is immutable. If this call would change a mutable descriptor with the same contents, then aRuntimeOperationsException
wrapping anUnsupportedOperationException
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 interfaceDescriptor
- 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 isIllegalArgumentException
); or if the descriptor is immutable (wrapped exception isUnsupportedOperationException
).
-
removeField
Removes a field from the descriptor.- Specified by:
removeField
in interfaceDescriptor
- 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 anUnsupportedOperationException
.
