AuthenticationScheme (VMware-vmc-SDK-Java)

java.lang.Object
- com.vmware.vapi.std.AuthenticationScheme

All Implemented Interfaces:

StaticStructure, Structure, java.io.Serializable
```
public final class AuthenticationScheme
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable, StaticStructure
```
The AuthenticationScheme class defines constants for authentication scheme identifiers for authentication mechanisms present in the vAPI infrastructure shipped by VMware.
A third party extension can define and implements it's own authentication mechanism and define a constant in a different IDL file.

    WARNING: Internal method, subject to change in future versions. Returns StructType instance representing the static bindings type for this Structure.
    
    Specified by:
    
    _getType in interface StaticStructure

  - _getDataValue
```
public StructValue _getDataValue()
```
    Description copied from interface: Structure
    
    Returns this Structure represented in the dynamic DataValue model.
    Attempts to change the returned StructValue representation are not required to change the state of this structure. Actually the behavior is implementation dependent and is unspecified. In general the returned value shouldn't be changed.

    _getDataValue in interface Structure
    
    Returns:
    
    StructValue representing this structure

```
public void _validate()
```
    Description copied from interface: StaticStructure
    
    Validates the state of the discriminated unions and HasFieldsOf restrictions (if any) in this Java language binding Structure.
    More precisely, for each union: given value of the discriminant/tag field (@UnionTag in the IDL) of an union in this structure, validates that:
  - all fields of the union required for that value of the discriminant are set
  - fields of the union that are not allowed for that value of the discriminant are not set
  - any other fields of the structure (not participating in the union) do not affect the validation result

Specified by:: _validate in interface StaticStructure

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Overrides:: equals in class java.lang.Object

hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

toString
```
public java.lang.String toString()
```
Description copied from interface: StaticStructure

Returns a string representation of this structure. The result is pretty printed in order to be easy to read. It is intended to be used for different debugging/tracing purposes, e.g. dumping structures into logging traces.
In general no code should depend on the format of the resulting string. E.g. there must be no attempts to parse for re-creation of the original instance.

Specified by:

toString in interface StaticStructure

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

a string representation of this static structure instance

_hasTypeNameOf
```
public boolean _hasTypeNameOf(java.lang.Class<? extends Structure> clazz)
```
Description copied from interface: Structure

Checks if the runtime type name of this structure matches the type represented by the specified binding class.
This can be used as efficient check to determine if this instance can be successfully converted to the target type.

Specified by:

_hasTypeNameOf in interface Structure

Parameters:

clazz - bindings class for the target structure; must not be null

Returns:

true if this structures type name matches exactly the specified class' type name.

_convertTo
```
public <T extends Structure> T _convertTo(java.lang.Class<T> clazz)
```
Description copied from interface: Structure

Converts this structure into an instance of the provided class structure if possible. A conversion will be possible if the requested structure's fields are all present in this structure.

Specified by:

_convertTo in interface Structure

Parameters:

clazz - type of the result structure. cannot be null.

Returns:

an instance of the requested type if conversion is possible. CoreException is thrown otherwise.

```
public void _setDynamicField(java.lang.String fieldName,
                             DataValue fieldValue)

Specified by:

_setDynamicField in interface StaticStructure

Parameters:

fieldName - canonical name of the dynamic field to set

fieldValue - the value of the field

_getDynamicField

set of the canonical field names for the dynamic fields

_getClassType
```
public static com.vmware.vapi.bindings.type.StructType _getClassType()

Returns:

StructType instance representing the static bindings type for this Structure.

_getCanonicalName
```
public java.lang.String _getCanonicalName()
```
Description copied from interface: Structure

Returns the canonical name of the structure. By default the canonical name is derived from the fully-qualified IDL name by converting to lower case and inserting underscores between words. For example org.example.FooBar would turn into org.example.foo_bar.

Specified by:

_getCanonicalName in interface Structure

Returns:

canonical name

_getCanonicalTypeName
```
public static java.lang.String _getCanonicalTypeName()
```
Returns the canonical type name. See _getCanonicalName().

Returns:

canonical type name

_newInstance
```
public static AuthenticationScheme _newInstance(StructValue structValue)
```
WARNING: Internal method, subject to change in future versions.
Returns new instance of this binding class and injects the provided data value.
WARNING: The returned object is not fully initialized.

Parameters:

structValue - the source of the data contained in the binding object. Could contain more data than fields of this class can describe i.e. newer version of the binding object. Could be null.

Returns:

the static bindings StructType

_newInstance2
```
