Interface Attributable

All Known Implementing Classes:
AttributedInputStream, RereadableContent.RrcInputStream

public interface Attributable
This interface allows arbitrary objects to have additional attributes. This is similar to UserAttributeContainer but allows for arbitrary values not just strings. Obviously, this interface is not directly for serialisable objects since the stored objects need not be serialisable.

    containsType(String name, Class<?> valueType)
    Gets whether this Attributable contains an attribute value for the designated attribute name of the designated type.
    get(String name)
    Gets the value of the attribute with the designated name or null if the attribute is not present or has a null value.
    putIfAbsent(String name, Object value)
    Puts an attribute with the designated name and value if the attribute is not present yet and returns null or the existing current value.
    remove(String name)
    Removes the attribute with the designated name and returns its current (previous) value.
    replace(String name, Object newValue)
    Replaces the value of the attribute with the designated name if it has a value and returns its previous value.
    boolean
    replace(String name, Object oldValue, Object newValue)

  • Method Details

    • contains

      boolean contains(String name)
      Gets whether this Attributable contains an attribute value for the designated attribute name.
      Parameters:
      name - The name of the attribute for which an attribute value exists or not.
      Returns:
      Whether this Attributable contains an attribute value for the designated attribute name.
    • containsType

      boolean containsType(String name, Class<?> valueType)
      Gets whether this Attributable contains an attribute value for the designated attribute name of the designated type.
      Parameters:
      name - The name of the attribute for which an attribute value exists or not.
      valueType - The type of the value of the attribute of the designated name.
      Returns:
      Whether this Attributable contains an attribute value for the designated attribute name of the designate type.
    • get

      Object get(String name)
      Gets the value of the attribute with the designated name or null if the attribute is not present or has a null value.
      Parameters:
      name - The name of the attribute for which to retrieve the value.
      Returns:
      The value of the attribute with the designated name or null if the attribute is not present or has a null value.
    • putIfAbsent

      Object putIfAbsent(String name, Object value)
      Puts an attribute with the designated name and value if the attribute is not present yet and returns null or the existing current value.
      Parameters:
      name - The name of the attribute which make available.
      value - The value of the attribute which to make available.
      Returns:
      The previous value (always null) or the current value (in case putting is refused since the attribute is already present).
    • computeIfAbsent

      Object computeIfAbsent(String name, Function<? super String,Object> compFunc)
      Computes the value of the attribute with the designated name if the attribute is not present yet and returns the value (or the current value if already present and not computed).
      Parameters:
      name - The name of the attribute which make available.
      compFunc - The function computing the attribute value which to make available.
      Returns:
      The previous value if already present (and therefore not computed) or the computed value.
    • remove

      Object remove(String name)
      Removes the attribute with the designated name and returns its current (previous) value.
      Parameters:
      name - The name of the attribute which to remove.
      Returns:
      The value of the removed attribute.
    • replace

      Object replace(String name, Object newValue)
      Replaces the value of the attribute with the designated name if it has a value and returns its previous value. If the attribute does not have a value yet, it will not be added and null will be returned. Note that null will also be returned when replacing the explicit attribute value null.
      Parameters:
      name - The name of the attribute which to replace.
      newValue - The value of the attribute with which to replace the existing value.
      Returns:
      The replaced value of the attribute or null in case of an unknown attribute (and no replacement).
    • replace

      boolean replace(String name, Object oldValue, Object newValue)
      Replaces the value of the attribute with the designated name if it has the designated value. If the attribute does not have a value yet, it will not be added and false will be returned.
      Parameters:
      name - The name of the attribute which to replace.
      oldValue - The old value of the attribute which to replace.
      newValue - The value of the attribute with which to replace the old value.
      Returns:
      Whether the attribute value has been replaced.
