All Implemented Interfaces:

StaticStructure, Structure, java.io.Serializable

public class InvalidArgument
extends Error
implements java.io.Serializable, StaticStructure

The InvalidArgument exception indicates that the values received for one or more parameters are not acceptable.

This exception is reported by the API infrastructure, so it could occur in response to the invocation of any method. It may also be reported as the result of method-specific validation.

Examples:

• A parameter has a value that is not of the expected type.
• A parameter has a value that is not in the required range.
• A parameter has a value that is not one of the specifically allowed strings.
• One property of a class is the tag for a tagged union, and has a specific value but another property of the class that is required to be specified when the tag has that value is not specified, or another property of the class that is required to be unspecified when the tag has that value is specified.

Counterexamples:

• Trying to create a new tag in tag category when a tag with the specified name already exists the tag category. The AlreadyExists exception would be used instead.
• Invoke the method to retrieve information about a virtual machine, passing an id that does not identify an existing virtual machine. The NotFound exception would be used instead.
• Attempt to put a virtual machine into a folder that can only contain hosts. The InvalidElementType exception would be used instead.
• Attempt to attach a SCSI virtual disk to an IDE port. The InvalidElementType exception would be used instead.

Default constructor.

Method Detail

_getType

public com.vmware.vapi.bindings.type.ErrorType _getType()

Description copied from interface: StaticStructure

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

Overrides:

_getType in class Error

Returns:

the static bindings StructType

_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.

Specified by:

_getDataValue in interface Structure

Overrides:

_getDataValue in class Error

Returns:

StructValue representing this structure

_updateDataValue

protected void _updateDataValue(StructValue structValue)

Overrides:

_updateDataValue in class Error

_validate

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

Overrides:

_validate in class Error

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class Error

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Error

getMessage

public java.lang.String getMessage()

Overrides:

getMessage in class Error

_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

Overrides:

_hasTypeNameOf in class Error

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

Overrides:

_convertTo in class Error

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.

_setDynamicField

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

Description copied from interface: StaticStructure

Sets a dynamic field value. The dynamic filed is extra filed that is not part of the static structure definition, i.e. not represented with getter/setter.

Specified by:

_setDynamicField in interface StaticStructure

Overrides:

_setDynamicField in class Error

Parameters:

fieldName - canonical name of the dynamic field to set

fieldValue - the value of the field

_getDynamicField

public DataValue _getDynamicField(java.lang.String fieldName)

Description copied from interface: StaticStructure

Get a dynamic field value, doesn't allow access to static fields (which have getters/setters).

Specified by:

_getDynamicField in interface StaticStructure

Overrides:

_getDynamicField in class Error

Parameters:

fieldName - the canonical name of the dynamic field

Returns:

the DataValue of the dynamic field

_getDynamicFieldNames

public java.util.Set<java.lang.String> _getDynamicFieldNames()

Description copied from interface: StaticStructure

Get the names of the dynamic fields in the structure.

Specified by:

_getDynamicFieldNames in interface StaticStructure

Overrides:

_getDynamicFieldNames in class Error

Returns:

set of the canonical field names for the dynamic fields

_getClassType

public static com.vmware.vapi.bindings.type.ErrorType _getClassType()

WARNING: Internal method, subject to change in future versions.

Returns:

ErrorType instance representing the static bindings type for this Error.

_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

Overrides:

_getCanonicalName in class Error

Returns:

canonical name

_getCanonicalTypeName

public static java.lang.String _getCanonicalTypeName()

Returns the canonical type name. See _getCanonicalName().

Returns:

canonical type name

_newInstance

public static InvalidArgument _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

public static InvalidArgument _newInstance2(StructValue structValue)

WARNING: Internal method, subject to change in future versions.
Serves as a versioning mechanism.
