Package Summary Overview Summary

### class:MBeanAttributeInfo [NONE]
All Implemented Interfaces: `Serializable, Cloneable, DescriptorRead` Direct Known Subclasses: `ModelMBeanAttributeInfo, OpenMBeanAttributeInfoSupport` public class MBeanAttributeInfo extends MBeanFeatureInfo implements Cloneable Describes an MBean attribute exposed for management. Instances of this class are immutable. Subclasses may be mutable but this is not recommended. Since: 1.5 See Also: Serialized Form

### constructor:MBeanAttributeInfo(java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.lang.String,boolean,boolean,boolean) [NONE]
### MBeanAttributeInfo public MBeanAttributeInfo (String name, String type, String description, boolean isReadable, boolean isWritable, boolean isIs) Constructs an `MBeanAttributeInfo` object. Parameters: `name` - The name of the attribute. `type` - The type or class name of the attribute. `description` - A human readable description of the attribute. `isReadable` - True if the attribute has a getter method, false otherwise. `isWritable` - True if the attribute has a setter method, false otherwise. `isIs` - True if this attribute has an "is" getter, false otherwise. Throws: `IllegalArgumentException` - if `isIs` is true but `isReadable` is not, or if `isIs` is true and `type` is not `boolean` or `java.lang.Boolean`. (New code should always use `boolean` rather than `java.lang.Boolean`.)

### constructor:MBeanAttributeInfo(java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.lang.String,boolean,boolean,boolean,javax.management.Descriptor) [NONE]
### MBeanAttributeInfo public MBeanAttributeInfo (String name, String type, String description, boolean isReadable, boolean isWritable, boolean isIs, Descriptor descriptor) Constructs an `MBeanAttributeInfo` object. Parameters: `name` - The name of the attribute. `type` - The type or class name of the attribute. `description` - A human readable description of the attribute. `isReadable` - True if the attribute has a getter method, false otherwise. `isWritable` - True if the attribute has a setter method, false otherwise. `isIs` - True if this attribute has an "is" getter, false otherwise. `descriptor` - The descriptor for the attribute. This may be null which is equivalent to an empty descriptor. Throws: `IllegalArgumentException` - if `isIs` is true but `isReadable` is not, or if `isIs` is true and `type` is not `boolean` or `java.lang.Boolean`. (New code should always use `boolean` rather than `java.lang.Boolean`.) Since: 1.6

### constructor:MBeanAttributeInfo(java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.lang.reflect.Method,java.lang.reflect.Method) [NONE]
### MBeanAttributeInfo public MBeanAttributeInfo (String name, String description, Method getter, Method setter) throws IntrospectionException This constructor takes the name of a simple attribute, and Method objects for reading and writing the attribute. 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 programmatic name of the attribute. `description` - A human readable description of the attribute. `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.

### method:clone() [NONE]
### clone 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. Overrides: `clone` in class `Object` Returns: a clone of this instance. See Also: `Cloneable`

### method:getType() [NONE]
### getType public String getType() Returns the class name of the attribute. Returns: the class name.

### method:isReadable() [NONE]
### isReadable public boolean isReadable() Whether the value of the attribute can be read. Returns: True if the attribute can be read, false otherwise.

### method:isWritable() [NONE]
### isWritable public boolean isWritable() Whether new values can be written to the attribute. Returns: True if the attribute can be written to, false otherwise.

### method:isIs() [NONE]
### isIs public boolean isIs() Indicates if this attribute has an "is" getter. Returns: true if this attribute has an "is" getter.

### method:equals(java.lang.Object) [NONE]
### equals public boolean equals (Object o) Compare this MBeanAttributeInfo to another. Overrides: `equals` in class `MBeanFeatureInfo` Parameters: `o` - the object to compare to. Returns: true if and only if `o` is an MBeanAttributeInfo such that its `MBeanFeatureInfo.getName()`, `getType()`, `MBeanFeatureInfo.getDescription()`, `isReadable()`, `isWritable()`, and `isIs()` values are equal (not necessarily identical) to those of this MBeanAttributeInfo.
