Represents attributes used as arguments to relational constraints. Instances of this class are usually obtained using Query.attr.

An AttributeValueExp may be used anywhere a ValueExp is required.

An AttributeValueExp with a null attribute.

/** * An <code>AttributeValueExp</code> with a null attribute. * @deprecated An instance created with this constructor cannot be * used in a query. */
@Deprecated public AttributeValueExp() { }
Creates a new AttributeValueExp representing the specified object attribute, named attr.
Params:
  • attr – the name of the attribute whose value is the value of this ValueExp.
/** * Creates a new <CODE>AttributeValueExp</CODE> representing the * specified object attribute, named attr. * * @param attr the name of the attribute whose value is the value * of this {@link ValueExp}. */

Applies the AttributeValueExp on an MBean. This method calls getAttribute(name) and wraps the result as a ValueExp. The value returned by getAttribute must be a Number, String, or Boolean; otherwise this method throws a BadAttributeValueExpException, which will cause the containing query to be false for this name.

Params:
  • name – The name of the MBean on which the AttributeValueExp will be applied.
Throws:
Returns: The ValueExp.

Sets the MBean server on which the query is to be performed.
Params:

Deprecated:This method has no effect. The MBean Server used to obtain an attribute value is QueryEval.getMBeanServer().

Return the value of the given attribute in the named MBean. If the attempt to access the attribute generates an exception, return null.

The MBean Server used is the one returned by QueryEval.getMBeanServer().

Params:
  • name – the name of the MBean whose attribute is to be returned.
