Class JobPriority

java.lang.Object

javax.print.attribute.IntegerSyntax

javax.print.attribute.standard.JobPriority

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

public final class JobPriority extends IntegerSyntax implements PrintRequestAttribute, PrintJobAttribute

Class JobPriority is an integer valued printing attribute class that specifies a print job's priority.

If a JobPriority attribute is specified for a Print Job, it specifies a priority for scheduling the job. A higher value specifies a higher priority. The value 1 indicates the lowest possible priority. The value 100 indicates the highest possible priority. Among those jobs that are ready to print, a printer must print all jobs with a priority value of n before printing those with a priority value of n-1 for all n.

If the client does not specify a JobPriority attribute for a Print Job and the printer does support the JobPriority attribute, the printer must use an implementation-defined default JobPriority value.

The client can always specify any job priority value from 1 to 100 for a job. However, a Print Service instance may support fewer than 100 different job priority levels. If this is the case, the Print Service instance automatically maps the client-specified job priority value to one of the supported job priority levels, dividing the 100 job priority values equally among the available job priority levels.

IPP Compatibility: The integer value gives the IPP integer value. The category name returned by getName() gives the IPP attribute name.

Constructor Details

JobPriority

public JobPriority(int value)

Construct a new job priority attribute with the given integer value.

Parameters:: value - Integer value
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if value is less than 1 or greater than 100

Method Details

equals

public boolean equals(Object object)

Returns whether this job priority 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 JobPriority.
This job priority attribute's value and object's value are equal.

Overrides:

equals in class IntegerSyntax

Parameters:

Returns:

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