- All Implemented Interfaces:
- Serializable
- Direct Known Subclasses:
- AttributeChangeNotification,- JMXConnectionNotification,- MBeanServerNotification,- MonitorNotification,- RelationNotification,- TimerNotification
The Notification class represents a notification emitted by an MBean. It contains a reference to the source MBean: if the notification has been forwarded through the MBean server, and the original source of the notification was a reference to the emitting MBean object, then the MBean server replaces it by the MBean's ObjectName. If the listener has registered directly with the MBean, this is either the object name or a direct reference to the MBean.
It is strongly recommended that notification senders use the object name rather than a reference to the MBean object as the source.
The serialVersionUID of this class is -7516092053498031989L.

Constructor Details- 
NotificationCreates a Notification object. The notification timeStamp is set to the current date.- Parameters:
- type- The notification type.
- source- The notification source.
- sequenceNumber- The notification sequence number within the source object.
 
- 
NotificationCreates a Notification object. The notification timeStamp is set to the current date.- Parameters:
- type- The notification type.
- source- The notification source.
- sequenceNumber- The notification sequence number within the source object.
- message- The detailed message.
 
- 
NotificationCreates a Notification object.- Parameters:
- type- The notification type.
- source- The notification source.
- sequenceNumber- The notification sequence number within the source object.
- timeStamp- The notification emission date.

Notificationpublic Notification(String type, Object source, long sequenceNumber, long timeStamp, String message) Creates a Notification object.- Parameters:
- type- The notification type.
- source- The notification source.
- sequenceNumber- The notification sequence number within the source object.
- timeStamp- The notification emission date.
- message- The detailed message.

Method Details- 
setSourceSets the source.- Parameters:
- source- the new source for this object.

- 
getSequenceNumberpublic long getSequenceNumber()Get the notification sequence number.- Returns:
- The notification sequence number within the source object. It's a serial number identifying a particular instance of notification in the context of the notification source. The notification model does not assume that notifications will be received in the same order that they are sent. The sequence number helps listeners to sort received notifications.
- See Also:
 
- 
setSequenceNumberpublic void setSequenceNumber(long sequenceNumber) Set the notification sequence number.- Parameters:
- sequenceNumber- The notification sequence number within the source object. It is a serial number identifying a particular instance of notification in the context of the notification source.
- See Also:
 
- 
getTypeGet the notification type.- Returns:
- The notification type. It's a string expressed in a dot notation similar to Java properties. It is recommended that the notification type should follow the reverse-domain-name convention used by Java package names. An example of a notification type is com.example.alarm.router.
 
- 
getTimeStamppublic long getTimeStamp()Get the notification timestamp.- Returns:
- The notification timestamp.
- See Also:
 
- 
setTimeStamppublic void setTimeStamp(long timeStamp) Set the notification timestamp.- Parameters:
- timeStamp- The notification timestamp. It indicates when the notification was generated.
- See Also:
 
- 
getMessageGet the notification message.- Returns:
- The message string of this notification object.
 
- 
getUserDataGet the user data.- Returns:
- The user data object. It is used for whatever data the notification source wishes to communicate to its consumers.
- See Also:
 
- 
setUserDataSet the user data.- Parameters:
- userData- The user data object. It is used for whatever data the notification source wishes to communicate to its consumers.

toStringReturns a String representation of this notification.- Overrides:
- toStringin class- EventObject
- Returns:
- A String representation of this notification.
