com.vmware.content.TypeTypes.Info

All Implemented Interfaces:

StaticStructure, Structure, Serializable

Enclosing interface:

TypeTypes

public static final class TypeTypes.Info
extends Object
implements Serializable, StaticStructure

The Info class describes support for a specific type of data in an ItemModel. The Info can be queried through the Type interface. Type support describes plugins in the Content Library which can provide metadata on library items and help manage the transfer process by adding dependent files when a current file is added.

To upload a library item of the type supported by the plugin, the ItemModel.getType() property of the item should be set to this value.

Returns:

The current value of the property.

setType

public void setType(String type)

The type which the plugin supports.

To upload a library item of the type supported by the plugin, the ItemModel.getType() property of the item should be set to this value.

Parameters:

type - New value for the property.

getVendor

public String getVendor()

The name of the vendor who created the type support plugin.

Returns:

The current value of the property.

setVendor

public void setVendor(String vendor)

The name of the vendor who created the type support plugin.

Parameters:

vendor - New value for the property.

getVersion

public String getVersion()

The version number of the type support plugin.

Returns:

The current value of the property.

setVersion

public void setVersion(String version)

The version number of the type support plugin.

Parameters:

version - New value for the property.

_getType

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

Description copied from interface: StaticStructure

WARNING: Internal API, subject to change in future versions. Returns StructType instance representing the static bindings type for this Structure.

Specified by:

_getType in interface StaticStructure

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

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

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

toString

public 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 Object

Returns:

a string representation of this static structure instance

_hasTypeNameOf

public boolean _hasTypeNameOf(Class<? extends Structure> clazz)

Description copied from interface: Structure

Checks that the runtime type name matches the type name from the binding class.

Specified by:

_hasTypeNameOf in interface Structure

Parameters:

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

Returns:

true if this structures type name matches exactly the provided class type name.

_convertTo

public <T extends Structure> T _convertTo(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.

_setDynamicField

public void _setDynamicField(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 fields of the structure.

Specified by:

_setDynamicField in interface StaticStructure

Parameters:

fieldName - canonical name of the dynamic field to set

fieldValue - the value of the field

_getDynamicField

public DataValue _getDynamicField(String fieldName)

Description copied from interface: StaticStructure

Get dynamic filed value. Works only on dynamic fields.

Specified by:

_getDynamicField in interface StaticStructure

Parameters:

fieldName - the canonical name of the dynamic field

Returns:

the DataValue of the dynamic field

_getDynamicFieldNames

public Set<String> _getDynamicFieldNames()

Description copied from interface: StaticStructure

Get the names of the dynamic fields in the structure.

Specified by:

_getDynamicFieldNames in interface StaticStructure

Returns:

set of the canonical field names for the dynamic fields

_getClassType

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

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

Returns:

StructType instance representing the static bindings type for this Structure.

_getCanonicalName

public 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 String _getCanonicalTypeName()

Returns the canonical type name. See _getCanonicalName().

Returns:

canonical type name

_newInstance

public static TypeTypes.Info _newInstance(StructValue structValue)

WARNING: Internal API, 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
