## javax.management.openmbean
Interface OpenMBeanOperationInfo

All Known Implementing Classes:
  OpenMBeanOperationInfoSupport

    public interface OpenMBeanOperationInfo

Describes an operation of an Open MBean.

This interface declares the same methods as the class `MBeanOperationInfo`. A class implementing this interface (typically `OpenMBeanOperationInfoSupport`) should extend `MBeanOperationInfo`.

The `getSignature()` method should return at runtime an array of instances of a subclass of `MBeanParameterInfo` which implements the `OpenMBeanParameterInfo` interface (typically `OpenMBeanParameterInfoSupport`).

Since:
  1.5

Method Summary
`boolean` | `equals(Object obj)` Compares the specified obj parameter with this `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` instance for equality.
`String` | `getDescription()` Returns a human readable description of the operation described by this `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` instance.
`int` | `getImpact()` Returns an `int` constant qualifying the impact of the operation described by this `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` instance.
`String` | `getName()` Returns the name of the operation described by this `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` instance.
`OpenType<?>` | `getReturnOpenType()` Returns the open type of the values returned by the operation described by this `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` instance.
`String` | `getReturnType()` Returns the fully qualified Java class name of the values returned by the operation described by this `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` instance.
`MBeanParameterInfo[]` | `getSignature()` Returns an array of `OpenMBeanParameterInfo` instances describing each parameter in the signature of the operation described by this `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` instance.
`int` | `hashCode()` Returns the hash code value for this `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` instance.
`String` | `toString()` Returns a string representation of this `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` instance.

Method Detail

### getDescription

    String getDescription()

  Returns a human readable description of the operation described by this `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` instance.

  Returns:
    the description.

### getName

    String getName()

  Returns the name of the operation described by this `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` instance.

  Returns:
    the name.

### getSignature

    MBeanParameterInfo[] getSignature()

  Returns an array of `OpenMBeanParameterInfo` instances describing each parameter in the signature of the operation described by this `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` instance. Each instance in the returned array should actually be a subclass of `MBeanParameterInfo` which implements the `OpenMBeanParameterInfo` interface (typically `OpenMBeanParameterInfoSupport`).

  Returns:
    the signature.

### getImpact

    int getImpact()

  Returns an `int` constant qualifying the impact of the operation described by this `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` instance. The returned constant is one of `MBeanOperationInfo.INFO`, `MBeanOperationInfo.ACTION`, `MBeanOperationInfo.ACTION_INFO`, or `MBeanOperationInfo.UNKNOWN`.

  Returns:
    the impact code.

### getReturnType

    String getReturnType()

  Returns the fully qualified Java class name of the values returned by the operation described by this `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` instance. This method should return the same value as a call to `getReturnOpenType().getClassName()`.

  Returns:
    the return type.

### getReturnOpenType

    OpenType<?> getReturnOpenType()

  Returns the open type of the values returned by the operation described by this `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` instance.

  Returns:
    the return type.

### equals

    boolean equals(Object obj)

  Compares the specified obj parameter with this `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` instance for equality.

  Returns `true` if and only if all of the following statements are true:

  - obj is non null,
  - obj also implements the `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` interface,
  - their names are equal
  - their signatures are equal
  - their return open types are equal
  - their impacts are equal
  This ensures that this `equals` method works properly for obj parameters which are different implementations of the `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` interface.

  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `Object`
  Parameters:
    `obj` - the object to be compared for equality with this `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` instance;
  Returns:
    `true` if the specified object is equal to this `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` instance.
  See Also:
    `Object.hashCode()`, `Hashtable`

### hashCode

    int hashCode()

  Returns the hash code value for this `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` instance.

  The hash code of an `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` instance is the sum of the hash codes of all elements of information used in `equals` comparisons (ie: its name, return open type, impact and signature, where the signature hashCode is calculated by a call to `java.util.Arrays.asList(this.getSignature).hashCode()`).

  This ensures that `t1.equals(t2)` implies that `t1.hashCode()==t2.hashCode()` for any two `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` instances `t1` and `t2`, as required by the general contract of the method `Object.hashCode()`.

  Overrides:
    `hashCode` in class `Object`
  Returns:
    the hash code value for this `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` instance
  See Also:
    `Object.equals(java.lang.Object)`, `Hashtable`

### toString

    String toString()

  Returns a string representation of this `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` instance.

  The string representation consists of the name of this class (ie `javax.management.openmbean.OpenMBeanOperationInfo`), and the name, signature, return open type and impact of the described operation.

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `Object`
  Returns:
    a string representation of this `OpenMBeanOperationInfo` instance
