Constructor Detail

IntegerType

public IntegerType()

Creates a new integer MIB type.

IntegerType

public IntegerType(Constraint constraint)

Creates a new integer MIB type.

Parameters:

constraint - the additional type constraint

IntegerType

public IntegerType(java.util.ArrayList<?> values)

Creates a new integer MIB type.

Parameters:

values - the additional defined symbols

Method Detail

initialize

public MibType initialize(MibSymbol symbol,
                 MibLoaderLog log)
                   throws MibException

Initializes the MIB type. This will remove all levels of indirection present, such as references to types or values. No information is lost by this operation. This method may modify this object as a side-effect, and will return the basic type.

NOTE: This is an internal method that should only be called by the MIB loader.

Specified by:

initialize in class MibType

Parameters:

symbol - the MIB symbol containing this type

log - the MIB loader log

Returns:

the basic MIB type

Throws:

MibException - if an error was encountered during the initialization

Since:

2.2

createReference

public MibType createReference()

Creates a type reference to this type. The type reference is normally an identical type, but with the primitive flag set to false. Only certain types support being referenced, and the default implementation of this method throws an exception.

NOTE: This is an internal method that should only be called by the MIB loader.

Overrides:

createReference in class MibType

Returns:

the MIB type reference

Since:

2.2

createReference

public MibType createReference(Constraint constraint)

Creates a constrained type reference to this type. The type reference is normally an identical type, but with the primitive flag set to false. Only certain types support being referenced, and the default implementation of this method throws an exception.

NOTE: This is an internal method that should only be called by the MIB loader.

Overrides:

createReference in class MibType

Parameters:

constraint - the type constraint

Returns:

the MIB type reference

Since:

2.2

createReference

public MibType createReference(java.util.ArrayList<?> values)

Creates a constrained type reference to this type. The type reference is normally an identical type, but with the primitive flag set to false. Only certain types support being referenced, and the default implementation of this method throws an exception.

NOTE: This is an internal method that should only be called by the MIB loader.

Overrides:

createReference in class MibType

Parameters:

values - the type value symbols

Returns:

the MIB type reference

Since:

2.2

hasConstraint

public boolean hasConstraint()

Checks if this type has any constraint.

Returns:

true if this type has any constraint, or false otherwise

hasSymbols

public boolean hasSymbols()

Checks if this type has any defined value symbols.

Returns:

true if this type has any defined value symbols, or false otherwise

isCompatible

public boolean isCompatible(MibValue value)

Checks if the specified value is compatible with this type. A value is compatible if it is an integer number value that is compatible with the constraints.

Specified by:

isCompatible in class MibType

Parameters:

value - the value to check

Returns:

true if the value is compatible, or false otherwise

getConstraint

public Constraint getConstraint()

Returns the optional type constraint. The type constraints for an integer will typically be value, value range or compound constraints.

Returns:

the type constraint, or null if no constraint has been set

Since:

2.2

getSymbol

public MibValueSymbol getSymbol(java.lang.String name)

Returns a named integer value. The value will be returned as a value symbol, containing a numeric MIB value. The symbol returned is not a normal MIB symbol, i.e. only the name and value components are valid.

Note: As of version 2.4 the method signature was changed to return a MibValueSymbol instead of a MibSymbol.

Parameters:

name - the symbol name

Returns:

the MIB value symbol, or null if not found

getAllSymbols

public MibValueSymbol[] getAllSymbols()

Returns all named integer values. An integer may also allow unnamed values, depending on the constraints. Use the constraint object or the isCompatible() method to check if a value is compatible with this type. Also note that the value symbols returned by this method are not normal MIB symbols, i.e. only the name and value components are valid.

Returns:

an array of all named values (as MIB value symbols)

Since:

2.2

findSymbol

public MibSymbol findSymbol(java.lang.String name,
                   boolean expanded)

Searches for a named MIB symbol. This method may search outside the normal (or strict) scope, thereby allowing a form of relaxed search. Note that the results from the normal and expanded search may not be identical, due to the context chaining and the same symbol name appearing in various contexts.

NOTE: This is an internal method that should only be called by the MIB loader.

Specified by:

findSymbol in interface MibContext

Parameters:

name - the symbol name

expanded - the expanded scope flag

Returns:

the MIB symbol, or null if not found

Since:

2.4

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a string representation of this type.

Overrides:

toString in class MibType

Returns:

a string representation of this type
