Class StatusVariable

java.lang.Object
  org.osgi.service.monitor.StatusVariable

public final class StatusVariable
extends java.lang.Object

A StatusVariable object represents the value of a status variable taken with a certain collection method at a certain point of time. The type of the StatusVariable can be int, float, boolean or String.

A StatusVariable is identified by an ID string that is unique within the scope of a Monitorable. The ID must be a non- null, non-empty string that conforms to the "symbolic-name" definition in the OSGi core specification. This means that only the characters [-_.a-zA-Z0-9] may be used. The length of the ID must not exceed 32 bytes when UTF-8 encoded.

cm - the collection method, one of the CM_ constants

data - the float value of the StatusVariable

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the given id is not a valid StatusVariable name, or if cm is not one of the collection method constants

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the id parameter is null

StatusVariable

public StatusVariable(java.lang.String id,
                      int cm,
                      boolean data)

Constructor for a StatusVariable of boolean type.

Parameters:

id - the identifier of the StatusVariable

cm - the collection method, one of the CM_ constants

data - the boolean value of the StatusVariable

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the given id is not a valid StatusVariable name, or if cm is not one of the collection method constants

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the id parameter is null

StatusVariable

public StatusVariable(java.lang.String id,
                      int cm,
                      java.lang.String data)

Constructor for a StatusVariable of String type.

Parameters:

id - the identifier of the StatusVariable

cm - the collection method, one of the CM_ constants

data - the String value of the StatusVariable, can be null

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the given id is not a valid StatusVariable name, or if cm is not one of the collection method constants

one of the CM_ constants

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Compares the specified object with this StatusVariable. Two StatusVariable objects are considered equal if their full path, collection method and type are identical, and the data (selected by their type) is equal.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

obj - the object to compare with this StatusVariable

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a String representation of this StatusVariable. The returned String contains the full path, collection method, timestamp, type and value parameters of the StatusVariable in the following format:

 StatusVariable(<path>, <cm>, <timestamp>, <type>, <value>)
 

The collection method identifiers used in the string representation are "CC", "DER", "GAUGE" and "SI" (without the quotes). The format of the timestamp is defined by the Date.toString method, while the type is identified by one of the strings "INTEGER", "FLOAT", "STRING" and "BOOLEAN". The final field contains the string representation of the value of the status variable.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
