public interface MapCapable

Interface which states that the object can be converted into a Map. Type parameter must be Object or Serializable.

Field Summary

static String

MAP_CAPABLE_CLASS_NAME_KEY The key for the type of Object this Map represents; all MapCapable objects will place their classname keyed by this key as a String into the Map returned from asMap().

Method Summary

Map<String,Serializable>	asMap() To be capable of being serialized and deserialized by generic clients, the following rules must be observed for the resulting Map.
String	getMapClassName() Return the interface that this Map represents (the Java classname).

asMap

Map<String,Serializable> asMap()

To be capable of being serialized and deserialized by generic clients, the following rules must be observed for the resulting Map.

The Map itself and any items it references, directly or indirectly must be of a class of one of the following:

• any JMX OpenType
• any serializable Collection in java.util whose items meet these rules
• arrays of items whose values meet these rules
• any Throwable found in java. or javax.
• any MapCapable which can produce a Map following these rules

Returns:

an equivalent Map representing the original object.

getMapClassName

String getMapClassName()

Return the interface that this Map represents (the Java classname).
