Class JobAttributes

public JobAttributes()

The basic constructor. Object is special, because it has no superclass, so there is no call to super().

public JobAttributes(int copies,
                     JobAttributes.DefaultSelectionType selection,
                     JobAttributes.DestinationType destination,
                     JobAttributes.DialogType dialog,
                     String filename,
                     int max,
                     int min,
                     JobAttributes.MultipleDocumentHandlingType multiple,
                     int[][] pageRanges,
                     String printer,
                     JobAttributes.SidesType sides)

public JobAttributes(JobAttributes attr)

public Object clone()

This method may be called to create a new copy of the Object. The typical behavior is as follows:

• o == o.clone() is false
• o.getClass() == o.clone().getClass() is true
• o.equals(o) is true

However, these are not strict requirements, and may be violated if necessary. Of the three requirements, the last is the most commonly violated, particularly if the subclass does not override Object.equals(Object).

If the Object you call clone() on does not implement Cloneable (which is a placeholder interface), then a CloneNotSupportedException is thrown. Notice that Object does not implement Cloneable; this method exists as a convenience for subclasses that do.

Object's implementation of clone allocates space for the new Object using the correct class, without calling any constructors, and then fills in all of the new field values with the old field values. Thus, it is a shallow copy. However, subclasses are permitted to make a deep copy.

All array types implement Cloneable, and override this method as follows (it should never fail):

 public Object clone()
 {
   try
     {
       super.clone();
     }
   catch (CloneNotSupportedException e)
     {
       throw new InternalError(e.getMessage());
     }
 }
 

Overrides:

clone in interface Object

Returns:

a copy of the Object

Cloneable

public boolean equals(Object o)

Determine whether this Object is semantically equal to another Object.

There are some fairly strict requirements on this method which subclasses must follow:

• It must be transitive. If a.equals(b) and b.equals(c), then a.equals(c) must be true as well.
• It must be symmetric. a.equals(b) and b.equals(a) must have the same value.
• It must be reflexive. a.equals(a) must always be true.
• It must be consistent. Whichever value a.equals(b) returns on the first invocation must be the value returned on all later invocations.
• a.equals(null) must be false.
• It must be consistent with hashCode(). That is, a.equals(b) must imply a.hashCode() == b.hashCode(). The reverse is not true; two objects that are not equal may have the same hashcode, but that has the potential to harm hashing performance.

This is typically overridden to throw a ClassCastException if the argument is not comparable to the class performing the comparison, but that is not a requirement. It is legal for a.equals(b) to be true even though a.getClass() != b.getClass(). Also, it is typical to never cause a NullPointerException.

In general, the Collections API (java.util) use the equals method rather than the == operator to compare objects. However, IdentityHashMap is an exception to this rule, for its own good reasons.

The default implementation returns this == o.

Overrides:

equals in interface Object

Parameters:

Returns:

whether this Object is semantically equal to another

public JobAttributes.DefaultSelectionType getDefaultSelection()

public JobAttributes.DestinationType getDestination()

public JobAttributes.DialogType getDialog()

public String getFileName()

public int getFromPage()

public int getMaxPage()

public int getMinPage()

public JobAttributes.MultipleDocumentHandlingType getMultipleDocumentHandling()

public int[][] getPageRanges()

public String getPrinter()

public JobAttributes.SidesType getSides()

public int getToPage()

public int hashCode()

Get a value that represents this Object, as uniquely as possible within the confines of an int.

There are some requirements on this method which subclasses must follow:

• Semantic equality implies identical hashcodes. In other words, if a.equals(b) is true, then a.hashCode() == b.hashCode() must be as well. However, the reverse is not necessarily true, and two objects may have the same hashcode without being equal.
• It must be consistent. Whichever value o.hashCode() returns on the first invocation must be the value returned on all later invocations as long as the object exists. Notice, however, that the result of hashCode may change between separate executions of a Virtual Machine, because it is not invoked on the same object.

Notice that since hashCode is used in Hashtable and other hashing classes, a poor implementation will degrade the performance of hashing (so don't blindly implement it as returning a constant!). Also, if calculating the hash is time-consuming, a class may consider caching the results.

The default implementation returns System.identityHashCode(this)

Overrides:

hashCode in interface Object

Returns:

the hash code for this Object

public String toString()

Convert this Object to a human-readable String. There are no limits placed on how long this String should be or what it should contain. We suggest you make it as intuitive as possible to be able to place it into System.out.println() and such.

It is typical, but not required, to ensure that this method never completes abruptly with a RuntimeException.

This method will be called when performing string concatenation with this object. If the result is null, string concatenation will instead use "null".

The default implementation returns getClass().getName() + "@" + Integer.toHexString(hashCode()).

Overrides:

toString in interface Object

Returns:

the String representing this Object, which may be null

getClass(), Object.hashCode(), Class.getName(), Integer.toHexString(int)
