Class WeightedProperty

java.lang.Object   com.rational.test.ft.script.WeightedProperty

public class WeightedProperty
extends java.lang.Object

Defines a standard property name plus a value pair with an additional weight attribute. The property name is a unique String that a TestObject understands and can associate a particular value with. The weight attribute is a value in the range of MIN_WEIGHT to MAX_WEIGHT that defines the relative importance of this property to the associated TestObject. A weight of MIN_WEIGHT, that is, zero means that the property has no importance, while a weight of MAX_WEIGHT implies that the property is very important. Weights between these values indicate the relative importance of the property.

Since:

RFT1.0

Field Summary

static int	MAX_WEIGHT Defines the maximum value that can be assigned to a weight attribute.
static int	MIN_WEIGHT Defines the minimum value that can be assigned to a weight attribute.

Constructor Detail

WeightedProperty

public WeightedProperty(java.lang.String property,                         java.lang.Object value,                         int weight)

Builds a Property (name, value, weight) object. A semantic restriction is enforced in this constructor to ensure that the >weight> value is in the range MIN_WEIGHT to MAX_WEIGHT. weight values outside this range cause an appropriate exception to be thrown.

Since:

RFT1.0

Method Detail

getProperty

public java.lang.String getProperty()

Returns the property name attribute associated with this object.

Since:

RFT1.0

getValue

public java.lang.Object getValue()

Returns the property value attribute associated with this object.

Since:

RFT1.0

getWeight

public int getWeight()

Returns the property weight attribute associated with this object. The weight is in the range MIN_WEIGHT to MAX_WEIGHT.

Since:

RFT1.0

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Compares the property's name and value attributes to the supplied object's attributes. The method returns true if the specified object's name equals the active name and if the associated values are also equal. If the supplied object is not a WeightedProperty, the method returns false.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

o - the right side of the object comparison

Since:

RFT1.0

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a textual representation of the attributes that make up this object. This method overrides the inherited toString method.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
