Constructor Detail

NumberValue

public NumberValue(java.lang.Number value)
Creates a new number value.

Parameters:
value - the number value
Method Detail

initialize

public MibValue initialize(MibLoaderLog log)
Initializes the MIB value. This will remove all levels of indirection present, such as references to other values. No value information is lost by this operation. This method may modify this object as a side-effect, and will return the basic value.

NOTE: This is an internal method that should only be called by the MIB loader.

Specified by:
initialize in class MibValue
Parameters:
log - the MIB loader log
Returns:
the basic MIB value

createReference

public MibValue createReference()
Creates a value reference to this value. The value reference is normally an identical value. Only certain values support being referenced, and the default implementation of this method throws an exception.

NOTE: This is an internal method that should only be called by the MIB loader.

Overrides:
createReference in class MibValue
Returns:
the MIB value reference
Since:

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Parameters:
obj - the object to compare with
Returns:
true if the objects are equal, or false otherwise

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Returns a hash code for this object.

Returns:
a hash code for this object

toObject

public java.lang.Object toObject()
Returns a Java Number representation of this value.

Specified by:
toObject in class MibValue
Returns:
a Java Number representation of this value

toString

public java.lang.String toString()
Returns a string representation of this value.

Returns:
a string representation of this value
