## javax.print.attribute.standard
Class JobPriority

    java.lang.Object
      javax.print.attribute.IntegerSyntax
          javax.print.attribute.standard.JobPriority

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable, Cloneable, Attribute, PrintJobAttribute, PrintRequestAttribute

    public final class JobPriority

extends IntegerSyntax
implements PrintRequestAttribute, PrintJobAttribute

Class JobPriority is an integer valued printing attribute class that specifies a print job's priority.

If a JobPriority attribute is specified for a Print Job, it specifies a priority for scheduling the job. A higher value specifies a higher priority. The value 1 indicates the lowest possible priority. The value 100 indicates the highest possible priority. Among those jobs that are ready to print, a printer must print all jobs with a priority value of n before printing those with a priority value of n-1 for all n.

If the client does not specify a JobPriority attribute for a Print Job and the printer does support the JobPriority attribute, the printer must use an implementation-defined default JobPriority value.

The client can always specify any job priority value from 1 to 100 for a job. However, a Print Service instance may support fewer than 100 different job priority levels. If this is the case, the Print Service instance automatically maps the client-specified job priority value to one of the supported job priority levels, dividing the 100 job priority values equally among the available job priority levels.

IPP Compatibility: The integer value gives the IPP integer value. The category name returned by `getName()` gives the IPP attribute name.

Constructor Detail

### JobPriority

    public JobPriority(int value)

  Construct a new job priority attribute with the given integer value.

  Parameters:
    `value` - Integer value.
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - (Unchecked exception) Thrown if `value` is less than 1 or greater than 100.

Method Detail

### equals

    public boolean equals(Object object)

  Returns whether this job priority attribute is equivalent to the passed in object. To be equivalent, all of the following conditions must be true:
  1. `object` is not null.
  2. `object` is an instance of class JobPriority.
  3. This job priority attribute's value and `object`'s value are equal.

  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `IntegerSyntax`
  Parameters:
    `object` - Object to compare to.
  Returns:
    True if `object` is equivalent to this job priority attribute, false otherwise.
  See Also:
    `Object.hashCode()`, `Hashtable`

### getCategory

    public final Class<? extends Attribute> getCategory()

  Get the printing attribute class which is to be used as the "category" for this printing attribute value.

  For class JobPriority, the category is class JobPriority itself.

  Specified by:
    `getCategory` in interface `Attribute`
  Returns:
    Printing attribute class (category), an instance of class `java.lang.Class`.

### getName

    public final String getName()

  Get the name of the category of which this attribute value is an instance.

  For class JobPriority, the category name is `"job-priority"`.

  Specified by:
    `getName` in interface `Attribute`
  Returns:
    Attribute category name.
