Constructor Detail

SequenceOfType

public SequenceOfType(MibType base)
Creates a new sequence of a MIB type.

Parameters:
base - the sequence element type

SequenceOfType

public SequenceOfType(MibType base,
                      Constraint constraint)
Creates a new sequence of a MIB type.

Parameters:
base - the sequence element type
constraint - the sequence constraint
Method Detail

initialize

public MibType initialize(MibLoaderLog log)
                   throws MibException
Initializes the MIB type. This will remove all levels of indirection present, such as references to other types, and returns the basic type. No type information is lost by this operation. This method may modify this object as a side-effect, and will be called by the MIB loader.

Specified by:
initialize in interface MibType
Parameters:
log - the MIB loader log
Returns:
the basic MIB type
Throws:
MibException - if an error was encountered during the initialization

isCompatible

public boolean isCompatible(MibValue value)
Checks if the specified value is compatible with this type. No values are considered compatible with this type, and this method will therefore always return false.

Specified by:
isCompatible in interface MibType
Parameters:
value - the value to check
Returns:
true if the value is compatible, or false otherwise

toString

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

Overrides:
toString in class java.lang.Object
Returns:
a string representation of this object
