All Implemented Interfaces:

CountableObjectEntryEnumeration, java.util.Enumeration, ObjectEntryEnumeration

public class DefaultObjectEntryEnumeration

extends java.lang.Object

implements ObjectEntryEnumeration, CountableObjectEntryEnumeration

Converts an array, vector or enumeration of ObjectEntrys to an ObjectEntryEnumeration that can be returned from the getChildren() and getChildContainer() methods of the NamespaceSnapin interface.

This class is a convenience helper class in creating ObjectEntryEnumerations.

int	getCountReliability() Returns an integer which is a representation of the reliability of the count of objects in this enumeration.
boolean	hasMoreElements() Returns a boolean determining if there are more children in the enumeration.
ObjectEntry	next() Return the next child as an ObjectEntry.

Constructor Detail

DefaultObjectEntryEnumeration

public DefaultObjectEntryEnumeration()

Creates an empty DefaultObjectEntryEnumeration. This is a convenience constructor for creating an ObjectEntryEnumeration with no entries.

DefaultObjectEntryEnumeration

public DefaultObjectEntryEnumeration(ObjectEntry entry)

This is a convenience constructor for creating an ObjectEntryEnumeration with a single entry.

Parameters:

entry - ObjectEntry from which to create a simple enumeration.

DefaultObjectEntryEnumeration

public DefaultObjectEntryEnumeration(ObjectEntry[] list)

Creates a DefaultObjectEntryEnumeration from an array of ObjectEntrys.

Parameters:

list - ObjectEntry array from which to create a simple enumeration.

DefaultObjectEntryEnumeration

public DefaultObjectEntryEnumeration(java.util.Vector list)

Creates a DefaultObjectEntryEnumeration from a Vector of ObjectEntrys.

Parameters:

list - ObjectEntry vector from which to create a simple enumeration.

DefaultObjectEntryEnumeration

public DefaultObjectEntryEnumeration(java.util.Enumeration list)

Create a DefaultObjectEntryEnumeration from an Enumeration of ObjectEntrys.

Parameters:

list - ObjectEntry enumeration from which to create a simple enumeration.

Method Detail

hasMoreElements

public boolean hasMoreElements()

Returns a boolean determining if there are more children in the enumeration.

Returns:

A boolean set to true if there are more children in the enumeration, otherwise set to false.

nextElement

public java.lang.Object nextElement()

Return the next child as an Object (must still be an ObjectEntry).

Returns:

The next child Object.

next

public ObjectEntry next()
                 throws java.util.NoSuchElementException

Return the next child as an ObjectEntry.

Specified by:

next in interface ObjectEntryEnumeration

Returns:

The next child ObjectEntry.

Throws:

java.util.NoSuchElementException - Throws when there is no 'next' element.

getCount

public int getCount()

Return the number of ObjectEntries in the Enumeration.

Specified by:

getCount in interface CountableObjectEntryEnumeration

Returns:

The number of ObjectEntries. If the count is not available then -1 is returned.

getCountReliability

public int getCountReliability()

Returns an integer which is a representation of the reliability of the count of objects in this enumeration.

Specified by:

getCountReliability in interface CountableObjectEntryEnumeration

Returns:

The integer representation for the reliability of the count EXACTCOUNT (1) - exact count, we know we have exactly this many objects APPROXIMATECOUNT (2) - approximate count. This is most likely the total number of objects within the container (the subordinate count) It could actually be more than the number of objects in this enumeration because of selective search criteria BASECOUNT (3) - base count. This is the number of objects represented in this enumeration, but because of size/memory restrictions there is actually more objects in the directory that match this search criteria. This is all the objects that can be contained in this enumeration. PARTIALCOUNT (4) - partial count. This is the number of objects represented in this buffer (JCListEnumerator to multiple JClient.listToJCListEnumerator to to DDCListToBuffer calls). There may be more objects if the DDCListToBuffer was called additional times UNKNOWNCOUNT (5) - unknown count. I have no idea.
