## Class SimpleType<T>

- java.lang.Object
- - javax.management.openmbean.OpenType<T>
  - - javax.management.openmbean.SimpleType<T>

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable

      public final class SimpleType<T>
      extends OpenType<T>

  The `SimpleType` class is the open type class whose instances describe all open data values which are neither arrays, nor `CompositeData` values, nor `TabularData` values. It predefines all its possible instances as static fields, and has no public constructor.

  Given a `SimpleType` instance describing values whose Java class name is className, the internal fields corresponding to the name and description of this `SimpleType` instance are also set to className. In other words, its methods `getClassName`, `getTypeName` and `getDescription` all return the same string value className.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### isValue

          public boolean isValue(Object obj)

      Tests whether obj is a value for this `SimpleType` instance.

      This method returns `true` if and only if obj is not null and obj's class name is the same as the className field defined for this `SimpleType` instance (ie the class name returned by the `getClassName` method).

      Specified by:
        `isValue` in class `OpenType<T>`
      Parameters:
        `obj` - the object to be tested.
      Returns:
        `true` if obj is a value for this `SimpleType` instance.

    - #### equals

          public boolean equals(Object obj)

      Compares the specified `obj` parameter with this `SimpleType` instance for equality.

      Two `SimpleType` instances are equal if and only if their `getClassName` methods return the same value.

      Specified by:
        `equals` in class `OpenType<T>`
      Parameters:
        `obj` - the object to be compared for equality with this `SimpleType` instance; if obj is `null` or is not an instance of the class `SimpleType`, `equals` returns `false`.
      Returns:
        `true` if the specified object is equal to this `SimpleType` instance.
      See Also:
        `Object.hashCode()`, `HashMap`

    - #### hashCode

          public int hashCode()

      Returns the hash code value for this `SimpleType` instance. The hash code of a `SimpleType` instance is the the hash code of the string value returned by the `getClassName` method.

      As `SimpleType` instances are immutable, the hash code for this instance is calculated once, on the first call to `hashCode`, and then the same value is returned for subsequent calls.

      Specified by:
        `hashCode` in class `OpenType<T>`
      Returns:
        the hash code value for this `SimpleType` instance
      See Also:
        `Object.equals(java.lang.Object)`, `System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)`

    - #### toString

          public String toString()

      Returns a string representation of this `SimpleType` instance.

      The string representation consists of the name of this class (ie `javax.management.openmbean.SimpleType`) and the type name for this instance (which is the java class name of the values this `SimpleType` instance represents).

      As `SimpleType` instances are immutable, the string representation for this instance is calculated once, on the first call to `toString`, and then the same value is returned for subsequent calls.

      Specified by:
        `toString` in class `OpenType<T>`
      Returns:
        a string representation of this `SimpleType` instance

    - #### readResolve

          public Object readResolve()
                             throws ObjectStreamException

      Replace an object read from an `ObjectInputStream` with the unique instance for that value.
      Returns:
        the replacement object.
      Throws:
        `ObjectStreamException` - if the read object cannot be resolved.
