Class JobMessageFromOperator is a printing attribute class, a text attribute, that provides a message from an operator, system administrator, or "intelligent" process to indicate to the end user the reasons for modification or other management action taken on a job.

A Print Job's attribute set includes zero instances or one instance of a JobMessageFromOperator attribute, not more than one instance. A new JobMessageFromOperator attribute replaces an existing JobMessageFromOperator attribute, if any. In other words, JobMessageFromOperator is not intended to be a history log. If it wishes, the client can detect changes to a Print Job's JobMessageFromOperator attribute and maintain the client's own history log of the JobMessageFromOperator attribute values.

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.

Constructs a new job message from operator attribute with the given message and locale.
Params:
  • message – the message
  • locale – Natural language of the text string. null is interpreted to mean the default locale as returned by Locale.getDefault()
Throws:
/** * Constructs a new job message from operator attribute with the given * message and locale. * * @param message the message * @param locale Natural language of the text string. {@code null} is * interpreted to mean the default locale as returned by * {@code Locale.getDefault()} * @throws NullPointerException if {@code message} is {@code null} */

Returns whether this job message from operator attribute is equivalent to the passed in object. To be equivalent, all of the following conditions must be true:
  1. object is not null.
  2. object is an instance of class JobMessageFromOperator.
  3. This job message from operator attribute's underlying string and object's underlying string are equal.
  4. This job message from operator attribute's locale and object's locale are equal.
Params:
  • object – Object to compare to
Returns:true if object is equivalent to this job message from operator attribute, false otherwise
