ModelMBeanAttributeInfo

public class ModelMBeanAttributeInfo extends MBeanAttributeInfo implements DescriptorAccess
The ModelMBeanAttributeInfo object describes an attribute of the ModelMBean. It is a subclass of MBeanAttributeInfo with the addition of an associated Descriptor and an implementation of the DescriptorAccess interface.

The fields in the descriptor are defined, but not limited to, the following:

name : attribute name
descriptorType : must be "attribute"
value : current value for attribute
default : default value for attribute
displayName : name of attribute to be used in displays
getMethod : name of operation descriptor for get method
setMethod : name of operation descriptor for set method
protocolMap : object which implements the Descriptor interface: mappings must be appropriate for the attribute
and entries can be updated or augmented at runtime.
persistPolicy : OnUpdate|OnTimer|NoMoreOftenThan|OnUnregister|Always|Never
persistPeriod : seconds - frequency of persist cycle. Used when persistPolicy is"OnTimer" or "NoMoreOftenThan".
currencyTimeLimit : how long value is valid, <0 never, =0 always, >0 seconds
lastUpdatedTimeStamp : when value was set
visibility : 1-4 where 1: always visible 4: rarely visible
presentationString : xml formatted string to allow presentation of data
The default descriptor contains the name, descriptorType and displayName fields.

Note: because of inconsistencies in previous versions of this specification, it is recommended not to use negative or zero values for currencyTimeLimit. To indicate that a cached value is never valid, omit the currencyTimeLimit field. To indicate that it is always valid, use a very large number for this field.

The serialVersionUID of this class is 6181543027787327345L.

name The name of the attribute.
param
description A human readable description of the attribute. Optional.
param
getter The method used for reading the attribute value. May be null if the property is write-only.
param
setter The method used for writing the attribute value. May be null if the attribute is read-only.
