public interface TransformType

Method Summary

boolean	isNativeValueAlwaysNeeded() Indicates whether a caller of a "toNative" transformation needs to provide the old native value in order to get a successful transformation.
java.lang.Object	transformFromNative(java.lang.Object nativeValue, javax.management.ObjectName objectName)
java.lang.Object	transformToNative(java.lang.Object transformedValue, java.lang.Object oldNativeValue, javax.management.ObjectName objectName)

Method Detail

transformFromNative

java.lang.Object transformFromNative(java.lang.Object nativeValue,
                                     javax.management.ObjectName objectName)

transformToNative

java.lang.Object transformToNative(java.lang.Object transformedValue,
                                   java.lang.Object oldNativeValue,
                                   javax.management.ObjectName objectName)

isNativeValueAlwaysNeeded

boolean isNativeValueAlwaysNeeded()

Indicates whether a caller of a "toNative" transformation needs to provide the old native value in order to get a successful transformation. Otherwise the caller may provide a null to save CPU cycles.

Returns:

true if the caller must always provide a none null value for the nativeValue parameter of the transformation methods.
