Package com.vmware.vapi.std.errors

Class InvalidElementType

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    StaticStructure, Structure, java.io.Serializable
    public class InvalidElementType
extends Error
implements java.io.Serializable, StaticStructure
    The InvalidElementType exception indicates that the server was unable to fulfil the request because an element of a specific type cannot be a member of particular group.

    This exception could be reported, for example, if an attempt is made to put an element into the wrong type of container.

    Examples:

    • Attempt to put a virtual machine into a folder that can only contain hosts.
    • Attempt to attach a SCSI virtual disk to an IDE port.
    Counterexamples:
    • A parameter has a value that is not of the expected type. The InvalidArgument exception would be used instead.

      • _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

      • _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
