Creates a new instance of a strong EntityTag.
Params:
  • value – the value of the tag, quotes not included.
Throws:
/** * Creates a new instance of a strong {@code EntityTag}. * * @param value the value of the tag, quotes not included. * @throws IllegalArgumentException if value is {@code null}. */
public EntityTag(final String value) { this(value, false); }
Creates a new instance of an EntityTag.
Params:
  • value – the value of the tag, quotes not included.
  • weak – true if this represents a weak tag, false otherwise.
Throws:
/** * Creates a new instance of an {@code EntityTag}. * * @param value the value of the tag, quotes not included. * @param weak {@code true} if this represents a weak tag, {@code false} otherwise. * @throws IllegalArgumentException if value is {@code null}. */

Creates a new instance of EntityTag by parsing the supplied string.
Params:
  • value – the entity tag string.
Throws:
Returns:the newly created entity tag.

Check the strength of an EntityTag.
Returns:true if this represents a weak tag, false otherwise.
/** * Check the strength of an {@code EntityTag}. * * @return {@code true} if this represents a weak tag, {@code false} otherwise. */

Get the value of an EntityTag.
Returns:the value of the tag.
/** * Get the value of an {@code EntityTag}. * * @return the value of the tag. */

Compares obj to this tag to see if they are the same considering weakness and value.
Params:
  • obj – the object to compare to.
Returns:true if the two tags are the same, false otherwise.

Generate hashCode based on value and weakness.
Returns:the entity tag hash code.
/** * Generate hashCode based on value and weakness. * * @return the entity tag hash code. */
@Override public int hashCode() { int hash = 3; hash = 17 * hash + (this.value != null ? this.value.hashCode() : 0); hash = 17 * hash + (this.weak ? 1 : 0); return hash; }
Convert the entity tag to a string suitable for use as the value of the corresponding HTTP header.
Returns:a string version of the entity tag.
