Class JobName

All Implemented Interfaces:: Serializable, Cloneable, Attribute, PrintJobAttribute, PrintRequestAttribute

public final class JobName extends TextSyntax implements PrintRequestAttribute, PrintJobAttribute

Class JobName is a printing attribute class, a text attribute, that specifies the name of a print job. A job's name is an arbitrary string defined by the client. It does not need to be unique between different jobs. A Print Job's JobName attribute is set to the value supplied by the client in the Print Request's attribute set. If, however, the client does not supply a JobName attribute in the Print Request, the printer, when it creates the Print Job, must generate a JobName. The printer should generate the value of the Print Job's JobName attribute from the first of the following sources that produces a value: (1) the DocumentName attribute of the first (or only) doc in the job, (2) the URL of the first (or only) doc in the job, if the doc's print data representation object is a URL, or (3) any other piece of Print Job specific and/or document content information.

IPP Compatibility: The string value gives the IPP name value. The locale gives the IPP natural language. The category name returned by getName() gives the IPP attribute name.

Constructor Details

JobName

public JobName(String jobName, Locale locale)

Constructs a new job name attribute with the given job name and locale.

Parameters:: jobName - job name; locale - natural language of the text string. null is interpreted to mean the default locale as returned by Locale.getDefault()
Throws:: NullPointerException - if jobName is null

Method Details

equals

public boolean equals(Object object)

Returns whether this job name attribute is equivalent to the passed in object. To be equivalent, all of the following conditions must be true:

object is not null.
object is an instance of class JobName.
This job name attribute's underlying string and object's underlying string are equal.
This job name attribute's locale and object's locale are equal.

Overrides:

equals in class TextSyntax

Parameters:

object - Object to compare to

Returns:

true if object is equivalent to this job name attribute, false otherwise

For class JobName, the category is class JobName itself.

Specified by:: getCategory in interface Attribute
Returns:: printing attribute class (category), an instance of class java.lang.Class

getName

public final String getName()

Get the name of the category of which this attribute value is an instance.
