Class Attributes

java.lang.Object

  +--java.util.jar.Attributes

public class Attributes
extends Object
implements Map, Cloneable

The Attributes class maps Manifest attribute names to associated string values. Attribute names are case-insensitive and restricted to the ASCII characters in the set [0-9a-zA-Z_-]. Attribute values can contain any characters and will be UTF8-encoded when written to the output stream.

Since:
JDK1.2

Field Detail

map

protected Map map
The attribute name-value mappings.
Constructor Detail

Attributes

public Attributes()
Constructs a new, empty Attributes object with default size.

Attributes

public Attributes(int size)
Constructs a new, empty Attributes object with the specified initial size.
Parameters:
size - the initial number of attributes

Attributes

public Attributes(Attributes attr)
Constructs a new Attributes object with the same attribute name-value mappings as in the specified Attributes.
Method Detail

get

public Object get(Object name)
Returns the value of the specified attribute name, or null if the attribute name was not found.
Specified by:
get in interface Map
Parameters:
name - the attribute name

getValue

public String getValue(String name)
Returns the value of the specified attribute name, specified as a string, or null if the attribute was not found. The attribute name is case-insensitive.

This method is defined as:

	    return (String)get(new Attributes.Name((String)name));
 
Parameters:
name - the attribute name as a string

getValue

public String getValue(Attributes.Name name)
Returns the value of the specified Attributes.Name, or null if the attribute was not found.

This method is defined as:

     return (String)get(name);
 
Parameters:
name - the Attributes.Name object

put

public Object put(Object name,
                  Object value)
Associates the specified value with the specified attribute name (key) in this Map. If the Map previously contained a mapping for the attribute name, the old value is replaced.
Specified by:
put in interface Map
Parameters:
name - the attribute name
value - the attribute value
Returns:
the previous value of the attribute, or null if none
Throws:
ClassCastException - if the name is not a Attributes.Name or the value is not a String

putValue

public String putValue(String name,
                       String value)
Associates the specified value with the specified attribute name, specified as a String. The attributes name is case-insensitive. If the Map previously contained a mapping for the attribute name, the old value is replaced.

This method is defined as:

	    return (String)put(new Attributes.Name(name), value);
 
Parameters:
the - attribute name as a string
value - the attribute value
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if the attribute name is invalid

remove

public Object remove(Object name)
Removes the attribute with the specified name (key) from this Map. Returns the previous attribute value, or null if none.
Specified by:
remove in interface Map
Parameters:
name - attribute name

containsValue

public boolean containsValue(Object value)
Returns true if this Map maps one or more attribute names (keys) to the specified value.
Specified by:
containsValue in interface Map
Parameters:
value - the attribute value

containsKey

public boolean containsKey(Object name)
Returns true if this Map contains the specified attribute name (key).
Specified by:
containsKey in interface Map
Parameters:
name - the attribute name

putAll

public void putAll(Map attr)
Copies all of the attribute name-value mappings from the specified Attributes to this Map. Duplicate mappings will be replaced.
Specified by:
putAll in interface Map
Parameters:
attr - the Attributes to be stored in this map
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if attr is not a Attributes instance

clear

public void clear()
Removes all attributes from this Map.
Specified by:
clear in interface Map
Tags copied from interface: Map
Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException - clear is not supported by this map.

size

public int size()
Returns the number of attributes in this Map.
Specified by:
size in interface Map
Tags copied from interface: Map
Returns:
the number of key-value mappings in this map.

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()
Returns true if this Map contains no attributes.
Specified by:
isEmpty in interface Map
Tags copied from interface: Map
Returns:
true if this map contains no key-value mappings.

keySet

public Set keySet()
Returns a Set view of the attribute names (keys) contained in this Map.
Specified by:
keySet in interface Map
Tags copied from interface: Map
Returns:
a set view of the keys contained in this map.

values

public Collection values()
Returns a Collection view of the attribute values contained in this Map.
Specified by:
values in interface Map
Tags copied from interface: Map
Returns:
a collection view of the values contained in this map.

entrySet

public Set entrySet()
Returns a Collection view of the attribute name-value mappings contained in this Map.
Specified by:
entrySet in interface Map
Tags copied from interface: Map
Returns:
a set view of the mappings contained in this map.

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)
Compares the specified Attributes object with this Map for equality. Returns true if the given object is also an instance of Attributes and the two Attributes objects represent the same mappings.
Specified by:
equals in interface Map
Overrides:
equals in class Object
Parameters:
o - the Object to be compared
Returns:
true if the specified Object is equal to this Map

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Returns the hash code value for this Map.
Specified by:
hashCode in interface Map
Overrides:
hashCode in class Object
Tags copied from interface: Map
Returns:
the hash code value for this map.
See Also:
Map.Entry.hashCode(), Object.hashCode(), Object.equals(Object), Map.equals(Object)

clone

public Object clone()
Returns a copy of the Attributes, implemented as follows:
     public Object clone() { return new Attributes(this); }
 
Since the attribute names and values are themselves immutable, the Attributes returned can be safely modified without affecting the original.
Overrides:
clone in class Object
Tags copied from class: Object
Returns:
a clone of this instance.
Throws:
CloneNotSupportedException - if the object's class does not support the Cloneable interface. Subclasses that override the clone method can also throw this exception to indicate that an instance cannot be cloned.
