| Custom statistic type created for the Sun ONE Application Server.
The goal is to be able to represent changing attribute values that are strings
in the form of Statistics. Semantically, it is analogous to a {@link CountStatistic},
the only difference being in the value that is returned. Unlike a CountStatistic
(which always is unidirectional), this Statistic type is not having any
specified direction, simply because there is no natural order. An example
of the values that an instance of this statistic type can assume is: A State
Statistic which can have "CONNECTED, CLOSED, DISCONNECTED" as the permissible
values and the current value can be any one of them (and them only).
The permissible values
are upto a particular implementation. |
