An AttributeList can be used to get and set multiple MBean attributes in a single invocation. It is an ArrayList that can only contain Attributes. AttributeLists must be externally synchronized.
Declaration:
public class AttributeList extends ArrayList { // code }
AttributeList API’s implementing classes:
- Serializable
- Cloneable
- Iterable
- Collection
- List
- RandomAccess
Constructor:
- AttributeList() – Constructs a new empty attribute list.
- AttributeList(AttributeList list) – Constructs a new attribute from another attribute list.
- AttributeList(int initialCapacity) – Constructs a new empty attribute list with specified initial capacity.
Methods:
- add(Attribute object) – Method to append an Attribute to the list.
- void add(int index, Attribute object) – Method to insert a new Attribute into the list at the specified index.
- boolean addAll(AttributeList list) – Method to append attributes to the list.
- boolean addAll(int index, AttributeList list) – Method to insert all the attributes in the passed list at the specified index.
- void set(int index, Attribute object) –Method to change an attribute at a specified index.
