All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, Attribute

public final class Severity
extends EnumSyntax
implements Attribute

Class Severity is a printing attribute class, an enumeration, that denotes the severity of a PrinterStateReason attribute.

Instances of Severity do not appear in a Print Service's attribute set directly. Rather, a PrinterStateReasons attribute appears in the Print Service's attribute set. The PrinterStateReasons attribute contains zero, one, or more than one PrinterStateReason objects which pertain to the Print Service's status, and each PrinterStateReason object is associated with a Severity level of REPORT (least severe), WARNING, or ERROR (most severe). The printer adds a PrinterStateReason object to the Print Service's PrinterStateReasons attribute when the corresponding condition becomes true of the printer, and the printer removes the PrinterStateReason object again when the corresponding condition becomes false, regardless of whether the Print Service's overall PrinterState also changed.

IPP Compatibility: Severity.toString() returns either "error", "warning", or "report". The string values returned by each individual PrinterStateReason and associated Severity object's toString() methods, concatenated together with a hyphen ("-") in between, gives the IPP keyword value for a PrinterStateReasons. The category name returned by getName() gives the IPP attribute name.

Constructor Summary

Constructors

Modifier	Constructor	Description
protected	Severity(int value)	Construct a new severity enumeration value with the given integer value.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
final Class<? extends Attribute>	getCategory()	Get the printing attribute class which is to be used as the "category" for this printing attribute value.
protected EnumSyntax[]	getEnumValueTable()	Returns the enumeration value table for class Severity.
final String	getName()	Get the name of the category of which this attribute value is an instance.

Methods declared in class EnumSyntax

clone, getOffset, getValue, hashCode, readResolve, toString

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
Object	clone()	Returns a clone of this enumeration value, which to preserve the semantics of enumeration values is the same object as this enumeration value.
protected int	getOffset()	Returns the lowest integer value used by this enumeration value's enumeration class.
int	getValue()	Returns this enumeration value's integer value.
int	hashCode()	Returns a hash code value for this enumeration value.
protected Object	readResolve()	During object input, convert this deserialized enumeration instance to the proper enumeration value defined in the enumeration attribute class.
String	toString()	Returns a string value corresponding to this enumeration value.

Methods declared in class Object

equals, finalize, getClass, notify, notifyAll, wait, wait, wait

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
boolean	equals(Object o)	Compares the argument to the receiver, and answers true if they represent the same object using a class specific comparison.
protected void	finalize()	Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version. May cause performance issues, deadlocks and hangs.
final Class<? extends Object>	getClass()	Answers the unique instance of java.lang.Class which represents the class of the receiver.
final void	notify()	Causes one thread which is waiting on the receiver to be made ready to run.
final void	notifyAll()	Causes all threads which are waiting on the receiver to be made ready to run.
final void	wait()	Causes the thread which sent this message to be made not ready to run pending some change in the receiver (as indicated by notify or notifyAll).
final void	wait(long time)	Causes the thread which sent this message to be made not ready to run either pending some change in the receiver (as indicated by notify or notifyAll) or the expiration of the timeout.
final void	wait(long time, int frac)	Causes the thread which sent this message to be made not ready to run either pending some change in the receiver (as indicated by notify or notifyAll) or the expiration of the timeout.

Field Details

REPORT

public static final Severity REPORT

Indicates that the PrinterStateReason is a "report" (least severe). An implementation may choose to omit some or all reports. Some reports specify finer granularity about the printer state; others serve as a precursor to a warning. A report must contain nothing that could affect the printed output.

WARNING

public static final Severity WARNING

Indicates that the PrinterStateReason is a "warning." An implementation may choose to omit some or all warnings. Warnings serve as a precursor to an error. A warning must contain nothing that prevents a job from completing, though in some cases the output may be of lower quality.

ERROR

public static final Severity ERROR

Indicates that the PrinterStateReason is an "error" (most severe). An implementation must include all errors. If this attribute contains one or more errors, the printer's PrinterState must be STOPPED.

Constructor Details

Severity

protected Severity(int value)

Construct a new severity enumeration value with the given integer value.

Parameters:

value - Integer value

Method Details

getStringTable

protected String[] getStringTable()

Returns the string table for class Severity.

Overrides:

getStringTable in class EnumSyntax

Returns:

the string table

getEnumValueTable

protected EnumSyntax[] getEnumValueTable()

Returns the enumeration value table for class Severity.

Overrides:

getEnumValueTable in class EnumSyntax

Returns:

the value table

getCategory

public final Class<? extends Attribute> getCategory()

Get the printing attribute class which is to be used as the "category" for this printing attribute value.

For class Severity, the category is class Severity itself.

Specified by:

getCategory in interface Attribute

Returns:

printing attribute class (category), an instance of class java.lang.Class

getName

public final String getName()

Get the name of the category of which this attribute value is an instance.

For class Severity, the category name is "severity".

Specified by:

getName in interface Attribute

Returns:

attribute category name
