Class Attributes [ source ]

java.lang.Object

java.util.jar.Attributes

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable, Map<Object,Object>

public class Attributes
extends Object
implements Map<Object,Object>, Cloneable

The Attributes class maps Manifest attribute names to associated string values. Valid attribute names are case-insensitive, are restricted to the ASCII characters in the set [0-9a-zA-Z_-], and cannot exceed 70 characters in length. Attribute values can contain any characters and will be UTF8-encoded when written to the output stream. See the JAR File Specification for more information about valid attribute names and values.

Since:

1.2

Field Detail

map

protected Map<Object,Object> 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.

Parameters:

attr - 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<Object,Object>

Parameters:

name - the attribute name

Returns:

the value of the specified attribute name, or null if not found.

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

Returns:

the String value of the specified attribute name, or null if not found.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the attribute name is invalid

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

Returns:

the String value of the specified Attribute.Name, or null if not found.

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<Object,Object>

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:

name - the attribute name as a string

value - the attribute value

Returns:

the previous value of the attribute, or null if none

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<Object,Object>

Parameters:

name - attribute name

Returns:

the previous value of the attribute, or null if none

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<Object,Object>

Parameters:

true if this Map maps one or more attribute names to the specified value

containsKey

public boolean containsKey(Object name)

Returns true if this Map contains the specified attribute name (key).

Specified by:

Parameters:

name - the attribute name

Returns:

true if this Map contains the specified 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.

the number of key-value mappings in this map

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Returns a Collection view of the attribute name-value mappings contained in this Map.

Specified by:

entrySet in interface Map<Object,Object>

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.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

o - the Object to be compared

Returns:

true if the specified Object is equal to this Map

Object.hashCode(), Hashtable

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns the hash code value for this Map.

clone

public Object clone()
