 public interface CompositeDataViewA Java class can implement this interface to indicate how it is to be converted into a CompositeDataby the MXBean framework.A typical way to use this class is to add extra items to the CompositeDatain addition to the ones that are declared in theCompositeTypesupplied by the MXBean framework. To do this, you must create anotherCompositeTypethat has all the same items, plus your extra items.For example, suppose you have a class Measurethat consists of a String calledunitsand avaluethat is either alongor adouble. It might look like this:public class Measure implements CompositeDataView { private String units; private Number value; // a Long or a Double public Measure(String units, Number value) { this.units = units; this.value = value; } public static Measure from(CompositeData cd) { return new Measure((String) cd.get("units"), (Number) cd.get("value")); } public String getUnits() { return units; } // Can't be called getValue(), because Number is not a valid type // in an MXBean, so the implied "value" property would be rejected. public Number _getValue() { return value; } public CompositeData toCompositeData(CompositeType ct) { try {List<String> itemNames = new ArrayList<String>(ct.keySet());List<String> itemDescriptions = new ArrayList<String>();List<OpenType<?>> itemTypes = new ArrayList<OpenType<?>>();for (String item : itemNames) { itemDescriptions.add(ct.getDescription(item)); itemTypes.add(ct.getType(item)); } itemNames.add("value"); itemDescriptions.add("long or double value of the measure"); itemTypes.add((value instanceof Long) ? SimpleType.LONG : SimpleType.DOUBLE); CompositeType xct = new CompositeType(ct.getTypeName(), ct.getDescription(), itemNames.toArray(new String[0]), itemDescriptions.toArray(new String[0]), itemTypes.toArray(new OpenType<?>[0])); CompositeData cd = new CompositeDataSupport(xct, new String[] {"units", "value"}, new Object[] {units, value}); assert ct.isValue(cd); // check we've done it right return cd; } catch (Exception e) { throw new RuntimeException(e); } } }The CompositeTypethat will appear in theopenTypefield of theDescriptorfor an attribute or operation of this type will show only theunitsitem, but the actualCompositeDatathat is generated will have bothunitsandvalue.- Since:

Method Detail- 
toCompositeDataCompositeData toCompositeData(CompositeType ct) Return a CompositeDatacorresponding to the values in this object. The returned value should usually be an instance ofCompositeDataSupport, or a class that serializes as aCompositeDataSupportvia awriteReplacemethod. Otherwise, a remote client that receives the object might not be able to reconstruct it.- Parameters:
- ct- The expected- CompositeTypeof the returned value. If the returned value is- cd, then- cd.getCompositeType().equals(ct)should be true. Typically this will be because- cdis a- CompositeDataSupportconstructed with- ctas its- CompositeType.
- Returns:
- the CompositeData.
