Constructor Detail

StringValue

public StringValue(java.lang.String value)
Creates a new string MIB value.

Parameters:
value - the string value
Method Detail

initialize

public MibValue initialize(MibLoaderLog log,
                           MibType type)
Initializes the MIB value. This will remove all levels of indirection present, such as references to other values. No value information is lost by this operation. This method may modify this object as a side-effect, and will return the basic value.

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

Specified by:
initialize in class MibValue
Parameters:
log - the MIB loader log
type - the value type
Returns:
the basic MIB value

createReference

public MibValue createReference()
Creates a value reference to this value. The value reference is normally an identical value. Only certain values 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 MibValue
Returns:
the MIB value reference
Since:
2.2

compareTo

public int compareTo(java.lang.Object obj)
Compares this object with the specified object for order. This method will only compare the string representations with each other.

Parameters:
obj - the object to compare to
Returns:
less than zero if this object is less than the specified, zero if the objects are equal, or greater than zero otherwise
Since:
2.6

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)
Checks if this object equals another object. This method will compare the string representations for equality.

Overrides:
equals in class java.lang.Object
Parameters:
obj - the object to compare with
Returns:
true if the objects are equal, or false otherwise
Since:
2.6

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Returns a hash code for this object.

Overrides:
hashCode in class java.lang.Object
Returns:
a hash code for this object
Since:
2.6

toObject

public java.lang.Object toObject()
Returns a Java String representation of this value.

Specified by:
toObject in class MibValue
Returns:
a Java String representation of this value

toString

public java.lang.String toString()
Returns a string representation of this value.

Overrides:
toString in class java.lang.Object
Returns:
a string representation of this value
