## javax.management.openmbean
Interface OpenMBeanInfo

All Known Implementing Classes:
  OpenMBeanInfoSupport

    public interface OpenMBeanInfo

Describes an Open MBean: an Open MBean is recognized as such if its `getMBeanInfo()` method returns an instance of a class which implements the `OpenMBeanInfo` interface, typically `OpenMBeanInfoSupport`.

This interface declares the same methods as the class `MBeanInfo`. A class implementing this interface (typically `OpenMBeanInfoSupport`) should extend `MBeanInfo`.

The `getAttributes()`, `getOperations()` and `getConstructors()` methods of the implementing class should return at runtime an array of instances of a subclass of `MBeanAttributeInfo`, `MBeanOperationInfo` or `MBeanConstructorInfo` respectively which implement the `OpenMBeanAttributeInfo`, `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` or `OpenMBeanConstructorInfo` interface respectively.

Since:
  1.5

Method Summary
`boolean` | `equals(Object obj)` Compares the specified obj parameter with this `OpenMBeanInfo` instance for equality.
`MBeanAttributeInfo[]` | `getAttributes()` Returns an array of `OpenMBeanAttributeInfo` instances describing each attribute in the open MBean described by this `OpenMBeanInfo` instance.
`String` | `getClassName()` Returns the fully qualified Java class name of the open MBean instances this `OpenMBeanInfo` describes.
`MBeanConstructorInfo[]` | `getConstructors()` Returns an array of `OpenMBeanConstructorInfo` instances describing each constructor in the open MBean described by this `OpenMBeanInfo` instance.
`String` | `getDescription()` Returns a human readable description of the type of open MBean instances this `OpenMBeanInfo` describes.
`MBeanNotificationInfo[]` | `getNotifications()` Returns an array of `MBeanNotificationInfo` instances describing each notification emitted by the open MBean described by this `OpenMBeanInfo` instance.
`MBeanOperationInfo[]` | `getOperations()` Returns an array of `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` instances describing each operation in the open MBean described by this `OpenMBeanInfo` instance.
`int` | `hashCode()` Returns the hash code value for this `OpenMBeanInfo` instance.
`String` | `toString()` Returns a string representation of this `OpenMBeanInfo` instance.

Method Detail

### getClassName

    String getClassName()

  Returns the fully qualified Java class name of the open MBean instances this `OpenMBeanInfo` describes.

  Returns:
    the class name.

### getDescription

    String getDescription()

  Returns a human readable description of the type of open MBean instances this `OpenMBeanInfo` describes.

  Returns:
    the description.

### getAttributes

    MBeanAttributeInfo[] getAttributes()

  Returns an array of `OpenMBeanAttributeInfo` instances describing each attribute in the open MBean described by this `OpenMBeanInfo` instance. Each instance in the returned array should actually be a subclass of `MBeanAttributeInfo` which implements the `OpenMBeanAttributeInfo` interface (typically `OpenMBeanAttributeInfoSupport`).

  Returns:
    the attribute array.

### getOperations

    MBeanOperationInfo[] getOperations()

  Returns an array of `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` instances describing each operation in the open MBean described by this `OpenMBeanInfo` instance. Each instance in the returned array should actually be a subclass of `MBeanOperationInfo` which implements the `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` interface (typically `OpenMBeanOperationInfoSupport`).

  Returns:
    the operation array.

### getConstructors

    MBeanConstructorInfo[] getConstructors()

  Returns an array of `OpenMBeanConstructorInfo` instances describing each constructor in the open MBean described by this `OpenMBeanInfo` instance. Each instance in the returned array should actually be a subclass of `MBeanConstructorInfo` which implements the `OpenMBeanConstructorInfo` interface (typically `OpenMBeanConstructorInfoSupport`).

  Returns:
    the constructor array.

### getNotifications

    MBeanNotificationInfo[] getNotifications()

  Returns an array of `MBeanNotificationInfo` instances describing each notification emitted by the open MBean described by this `OpenMBeanInfo` instance.

  Returns:
    the notification array.

### equals

    boolean equals(Object obj)

  Compares the specified obj parameter with this `OpenMBeanInfo` instance for equality.

  Returns `true` if and only if all of the following statements are true:

  - obj is non null,
  - obj also implements the `OpenMBeanInfo` interface,
  - their class names are equal
  - their infos on attributes, constructors, operations and notifications are equal
  This ensures that this `equals` method works properly for obj parameters which are different implementations of the `OpenMBeanInfo` interface.

  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `Object`
  Parameters:
    `obj` - the object to be compared for equality with this `OpenMBeanInfo` instance;
  Returns:
    `true` if the specified object is equal to this `OpenMBeanInfo` instance.
  See Also:
    `Object.hashCode()`, `Hashtable`

### hashCode

    int hashCode()

  Returns the hash code value for this `OpenMBeanInfo` instance.

  The hash code of an `OpenMBeanInfo` instance is the sum of the hash codes of all elements of information used in `equals` comparisons (ie: its class name, and its infos on attributes, constructors, operations and notifications, where the hashCode of each of these arrays is calculated by a call to `new java.util.HashSet(java.util.Arrays.asList(this.getSignature)).hashCode()`).

  This ensures that `t1.equals(t2)` implies that `t1.hashCode()==t2.hashCode()` for any two `OpenMBeanInfo` instances `t1` and `t2`, as required by the general contract of the method `Object.hashCode()`.

  Overrides:
    `hashCode` in class `Object`
  Returns:
    the hash code value for this `OpenMBeanInfo` instance
  See Also:
    `Object.equals(java.lang.Object)`, `Hashtable`

### toString

    String toString()

  Returns a string representation of this `OpenMBeanInfo` instance.

  The string representation consists of the name of this class (ie `javax.management.openmbean.OpenMBeanInfo`), the MBean class name, and the string representation of infos on attributes, constructors, operations and notifications of the described MBean.

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `Object`
  Returns:
    a string representation of this `OpenMBeanInfo` instance
