public interface AdminObject

Base interface of client side admin objects. Specifies behaviors and properties common to all administrative objects.

Unique identifiers are available for all AdminObjects and their forms are specific to eack object. See the javadoc on the individual object for its particular identifier pattern required.

This interface need not be used directly by clients except when coding to constants.

Field Summary

static java.lang.String	DELIMITER The character (as a String) that delimits the atomic components of the identifier.
static char	DELIMITER_CHAR The character that delimits the atomic components of the identifier.

static java.lang.String	ESCAPED_WILDCARD The wildcard character as a String escaped.
static java.lang.String	WILDCARD The wildcard character (as a String) that can be used in may identifier patterns to indicate "anything" or, more specifically, replace "zero or more" identifier components.

Method Summary

java.lang.String	getName() Get the name for this AdminObject, usually the last component of the identifier.

Field Detail

DELIMITER_CHAR

static final char DELIMITER_CHAR

The character that delimits the atomic components of the identifier.

See Also:

DELIMITER, Constant Field Values

DELIMITER

static final java.lang.String DELIMITER

The character (as a String) that delimits the atomic components of the identifier.

It is strongly advisable to write admin client code using this DELIMITER rather than hard-coding a delimiter character in admin code. Doing this eliminates the possibility of admin client code breaking if/when the delimiter character must be changed.

ESCAPED_DELIMITER

static final java.lang.String ESCAPED_DELIMITER

The delimiter character as a String escaped.

See Also:

DELIMITER

WILDCARD

static final java.lang.String WILDCARD

The wildcard character (as a String) that can be used in may identifier patterns to indicate "anything" or, more specifically, replace "zero or more" identifier components.

It is strongly advisable to write admin client code using this WILDCARD rather than hard-coding a wildcard character in admin code. Doing this eliminates the possibility of admin client code breaking if/when the wildcard character must be changed.

Constant Field Values

ESCAPED_WILDCARD

static final java.lang.String ESCAPED_WILDCARD

The wildcard character as a String escaped.
