## Class ModelMBeanNotificationInfo

- java.lang.Object
- - javax.management.MBeanFeatureInfo
  - - javax.management.MBeanNotificationInfo
    - - javax.management.modelmbean.ModelMBeanNotificationInfo

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Cloneable, DescriptorAccess, DescriptorRead

      public class ModelMBeanNotificationInfo
      extends MBeanNotificationInfo
      implements DescriptorAccess

  The ModelMBeanNotificationInfo object describes a notification emitted by a ModelMBean. It is a subclass of MBeanNotificationInfo with the addition of an associated Descriptor and an implementation of the Descriptor interface.

  The fields in the descriptor are defined, but not limited to, the following. Note that when the Type in this table is Number, a String that is the decimal representation of a Long can also be used.

  Name | Type | Meaning
  --- | --- | ---
  name | String | Notification name.
  descriptorType | String | Must be "notification".
  severity | Number | 0-6 where 0: unknown; 1: non-recoverable; 2: critical, failure; 3: major, severe; 4: minor, marginal, error; 5: warning; 6: normal, cleared, informative
  messageID | String | Unique key for message text (to allow translation, analysis).
  messageText | String | Text of notification.
  log | String | T - log message, F - do not log message.
  logfile | String | fully qualified file name appropriate for operating system.
  visibility | Number | 1-4 where 1: always visible 4: rarely visible.
  presentationString | String | XML formatted string to allow presentation of data.

  The default descriptor contains the name, descriptorType, displayName and severity(=6) fields. The default value of the name and displayName fields is the name of the Notification class (as specified by the `name` parameter of the ModelMBeanNotificationInfo constructor).

  The serialVersionUID of this class is `-7445681389570207141L`.

    - #### ModelMBeanNotificationInfo

          public ModelMBeanNotificationInfo(String[] notifTypes,
                                            String name,
                                            String description)

      Constructs a ModelMBeanNotificationInfo object with a default descriptor.
      Parameters:
        `notifTypes` - The array of strings (in dot notation) containing the notification types that may be emitted.
        `name` - The name of the Notification class.
        `description` - A human readable description of the Notification. Optional.

    - #### ModelMBeanNotificationInfo

          public ModelMBeanNotificationInfo(String[] notifTypes,
                                            String name,
                                            String description,
                                            Descriptor descriptor)

      Constructs a ModelMBeanNotificationInfo object.
      Parameters:
        `notifTypes` - The array of strings (in dot notation) containing the notification types that may be emitted.
        `name` - The name of the Notification class.
        `description` - A human readable description of the Notification. Optional.
        `descriptor` - An instance of Descriptor containing the appropriate metadata for this instance of the MBeanNotificationInfo. If it is null a default descriptor will be created. If the descriptor does not contain the fields "displayName" or "severity", the missing ones are added with their default values.
      Throws:
        `RuntimeOperationsException` - Wraps an `IllegalArgumentException`. The descriptor is invalid, or descriptor field "name" is not equal to parameter name, or descriptor field "descriptorType" is not equal to "notification".

    - #### ModelMBeanNotificationInfo

          public ModelMBeanNotificationInfo(ModelMBeanNotificationInfo inInfo)

      Constructs a new ModelMBeanNotificationInfo object from this ModelMBeanNotfication Object.
      Parameters:
        `inInfo` - the ModelMBeanNotificationInfo to be duplicated

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### clone

          public Object clone()

      Creates and returns a new ModelMBeanNotificationInfo which is a duplicate of this ModelMBeanNotificationInfo.
      Overrides:
        `clone` in class `MBeanNotificationInfo`
      Returns:
        a clone of this instance.
      See Also:
        `Cloneable`

    - #### getDescriptor

          public Descriptor getDescriptor()

      Returns a copy of the associated Descriptor for the ModelMBeanNotificationInfo.
      Specified by:
        `getDescriptor` in interface `DescriptorRead`
      Overrides:
        `getDescriptor` in class `MBeanFeatureInfo`
      Returns:
        Descriptor associated with the ModelMBeanNotificationInfo object.
      See Also:
        `setDescriptor(javax.management.Descriptor)`

    - #### setDescriptor

          public void setDescriptor(Descriptor inDescriptor)

      Sets associated Descriptor (full replace) for the ModelMBeanNotificationInfo If the new Descriptor is null, then the associated Descriptor reverts to a default descriptor. The Descriptor is validated before it is assigned. If the new Descriptor is invalid, then a RuntimeOperationsException wrapping an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.
      Specified by:
        `setDescriptor` in interface `DescriptorAccess`
      Parameters:
        `inDescriptor` - replaces the Descriptor associated with the ModelMBeanNotification interface
      Throws:
        `RuntimeOperationsException` - Wraps an `IllegalArgumentException` for invalid Descriptor.
      See Also:
        `getDescriptor()`

    - #### toString

          public String toString()

      Returns a human readable string containing ModelMBeanNotificationInfo.
