Class OutputDeviceAssigned

java.lang.Object
  javax.print.attribute.TextSyntax
      javax.print.attribute.standard.OutputDeviceAssigned

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable , Cloneable , Attribute , PrintJobAttribute

public final class OutputDeviceAssigned
extends TextSyntax
implements PrintJobAttribute

Class OutputDeviceAssigned is a printing attribute class, a text attribute, that identifies the output device to which the service has assigned this job. If an output device implements an embedded Print Service instance, the printer need not set this attribute. If a print server implements a Print Service instance, the value may be empty (zero- length string) or not returned until the service assigns an output device to the job. This attribute is particularly useful when a single service supports multiple devices (so called "fan-out").

IPP Compatibility: The string value gives the IPP name value. The locale gives the IPP natural language. The category name returned by getName() gives the IPP attribute name.

OutputDeviceAssigned

public OutputDeviceAssigned(String deviceName,
                            Locale locale)

Constructs a new output device assigned attribute with the given device name and locale.

Parameters:

deviceName - Device name.

locale - Natural language of the text string. null is interpreted to mean the default locale as returned by Locale.getDefault()

Throws:

NullPointerException - (unchecked exception) Thrown if deviceName is null.

equals

public boolean equals(Object object)

Returns whether this output device assigned attribute is equivalent to the passed in object. To be equivalent, all of the following conditions must be true:

1. object is not null.
2. object is an instance of class OutputDeviceAssigned.
3. This output device assigned attribute's underlying string and object's underlying string are equal.
4. This output device assigned attribute's locale and object's locale are equal.

Overrides:

equals in class TextSyntax

Parameters:

object - Object to compare to.

Returns:

True if object is equivalent to this output device assigned attribute, false otherwise.

getCategory

public final Class<? extends Attribute> getCategory()

Get the printing attribute class which is to be used as the "category" for this printing attribute value.

For class OutputDeviceAssigned, the category is class OutputDeviceAssigned itself.

Specified by:

getCategory in interface Attribute

Returns:

Printing attribute class (category), an instance of class java.lang.Class .

getName

public final String getName()

Get the name of the category of which this attribute value is an instance.

For class OutputDeviceAssigned, the category name is "output-device-assigned".

Specified by:

getName in interface Attribute

Returns:

Attribute category name.
