Class AttributeSetUtilities

java.lang.Object
javax.print.attribute.AttributeSetUtilities
public final class AttributeSetUtilities extends Object
Class AttributeSetUtilities provides static methods for manipulating AttributeSets.
  • Methods for creating unmodifiable and synchronized views of attribute sets.
  • operations useful for building implementations of interface AttributeSet
An unmodifiable view U of an AttributeSet S provides a client with "read-only" access to S. Query operations on U "read through" to S; thus, changes in S are reflected in U. However, any attempt to modify U, results in an UnmodifiableSetException. The unmodifiable view object U will be serializable if the attribute set object S is serializable.

A synchronized view V of an attribute set S provides a client with synchronized (multiple thread safe) access to S. Each operation of V is synchronized using V itself as the lock object and then merely invokes the corresponding operation of S. In order to guarantee mutually exclusive access, it is critical that all access to S is accomplished through V. The synchronized view object V will be serializable if the attribute set object S is serializable.

As mentioned in the package description of javax.print, a null reference parameter to methods is incorrect unless explicitly documented on the method as having a meaningful interpretation. Usage to the contrary is incorrect coding and may result in a run time exception either immediately or at some later time. IllegalArgumentException and NullPointerException are examples of typical and acceptable run time exceptions for such cases.

Creates a synchronized view of the given print request attribute set.
Parameters:
attributeSet - underlying print request attribute set
Returns:
synchronized view of attributeSet
Throws:
NullPointerException - if attributeSet is null

synchronizedView

public static PrintJobAttributeSet synchronizedView(PrintJobAttributeSet attributeSet)
Creates a synchronized view of the given print job attribute set.
Parameters:
attributeSet - underlying print job attribute set
Returns:
synchronized view of attributeSet
Throws:
NullPointerException - if attributeSet is null

synchronizedView

public static PrintServiceAttributeSet synchronizedView(PrintServiceAttributeSet attributeSet)
Creates a synchronized view of the given print service attribute set.
Parameters:

synchronized view of attributeSet
Throws:
NullPointerException - if attributeSet is null

verifyAttributeCategory

public static Class<?> verifyAttributeCategory(Object object, Class<?> interfaceName)
Verify that the given object is a Class that implements the given interface, which is assumed to be interface Attribute or a subinterface thereof.
Parameters:
object - Object to test
interfaceName - interface the object must implement
Returns:
if object is a Class that implements interfaceName, object is returned downcast to type Class; otherwise an exception is thrown
Throws:
NullPointerException - if object is null
ClassCastException - if object is not a Class that implements interfaceName

verifyAttributeValue

public static Attribute verifyAttributeValue(Object object, Class<?> interfaceName)
Verify that the given object is an instance of the given interface, which is assumed to be interface Attribute or a subinterface thereof.
Parameters:
object - Object to test
interfaceName - interface of which the object must be an instance
Returns:
if object is an instance of interfaceName, object is returned downcast to type Attribute; otherwise an exception is thrown
Throws:
NullPointerException - if object is null
ClassCastException - if object is not an instance of interfaceName

verifyCategoryForValue

public static void verifyCategoryForValue(Class<?> category, Attribute attribute)
