Parameters:

context - the context that defines values for logging and tracing. Cannot be null.

bytes - the input byte array. Cannot be null.

Throws:

PDException - if no byte array is passed in. This exception may contain error and message codes defined in the product Error Message Reference document.

PDAttrValue

public PDAttrValue(PDBasicContext context,
                   PDAdmSvcPobj pobj)
            throws PDException

Constructs a PDAttrValue from a clone of the input PDAdmSvcPobj.

Parameters:

context - the context that defines values for logging and tracing. Cannot be null.

pobj - the administration service protected object. Cannot be null.

Throws:

PDException - if no PDAdmSvcPobj is passed in. This exception may contain error and message codes defined in the product Error Message Reference document.

PDAttrValue

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object iobj)

Indicates whether some other Object is equal to this one. In particular, this implementation checks that the types are and then checks the type appropriately.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

iobj - the object to be compared to this one.

Returns:

true if the PDAttrValues are identical, false otherwise.

getValue

public java.lang.Object getValue()

Returns the value of the current attribute, which can then be examined.

Returns:

the value of this PDAttrValue.

getType

public int getType()

Returns the type of the current attribute value.

Returns:

the type of this PDAttrValue.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hashcode for the current object.

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Returns a clone of the object. This is implemented as a deep copy.

Overrides:

clone in class java.lang.Object

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a String representation of this object.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
