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 {@code 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.

exception: IntrospectionException - There is a consistency problem in the definition of this attribute.

        this(name, type, description, isReadable, isWritable, isIs,
             (Descriptor) null);
}

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 {@code isIs} is true but {@code isReadable} is not, or if {@code isIs} is true and {@code type} is not {@code boolean} or {@code java.lang.Boolean}. (New code should always use {@code boolean} rather than {@code java.lang.Boolean}.)

        }
        this.is = 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.

descriptor - The descriptor for the attribute. This may be null which is equivalent to an empty descriptor.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if {@code isIs} is true but {@code isReadable} is not, or if {@code isIs} is true and {@code type} is not {@code boolean} or {@code java.lang.Boolean}. (New code should always use {@code boolean} rather than {@code java.lang.Boolean}.)

 public Object clone() 
{
         try {
             return super.clone() ;

             // should not happen as this class is cloneable
             return null;
         }
}

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.

 public String getType() 
{
        return attributeType;
}

Returns the class name of the attribute.

 public int hashCode() 
{
        return getName().hashCode() ^ getType().hashCode();
}

 public boolean isIs() 
{
        return is;
}

Indicates if this attribute has an "is" getter.

 public boolean isReadable() 
{
        return isRead;
}

Whether the value of the attribute can be read.

 public boolean isWritable() 
{
        return isWrite;
}

Whether new values can be written to the attribute.
