All Implemented Interfaces:
NotificationFilter, java.io.Serializable
Direct Known Subclasses:
MBeanServerNotificationFilter

public class NotificationFilterSupport
extends java.lang.Object
implements NotificationFilter, java.io.Serializable

Provides an implementation of the NotificationFilter interface. The filtering is performed on the notification type attribute.

This class manages a list of enabled notification types. A method allows users to enable/disable as many notification types as required.

Then, before sending a notification to a listener registered with a filter, the notification broadcaster compares this notification type with all notification types enabled by the filter. The notification will be sent to the listener only if its filter enables this notification type.

Example:

 NotificationFilterSupport myFilter = new NotificationFilterSupport();
 myFilter.enableType("my_example.my_type");
 myBroadcaster.addListener(myListener, myFilter, null);
 
The listener myListener will only receive notifications the type of which equals/starts with "my_example.my_type".

Constructor Detail

NotificationFilterSupport

public NotificationFilterSupport()
Creates a NotificationFilterSupport Default constructor
Method Detail

isNotificationEnabled

public boolean isNotificationEnabled(Notification notification)
Invoked before sending the specified notification to the listener. This filter compares the notification type with each enabled type. If the notification type matches one of the enabled type, the notification has to be sent to the listener and this method returns true.
Specified by:
isNotificationEnabled in interface NotificationFilter
Parameters:
notification - The notification to be sent.
Returns:
True if the notification has to be sent to the listener, false otherwise.

disableAllTypes

public void disableAllTypes()
Disables all the notification types.

disableType

public void disableType(java.lang.String prefix)
Disables all the notifications whose type matches the specified prefix to be sent to the listener. If the specified prefix is not in the list of enabled notification types, this method has no effect.
Parameters:
prefix - The prefix.

enableType

public void enableType(java.lang.String prefix)
                throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
Enables all the notifications whose type matches the specified prefix to be sent to the listener. If the specified prefix is already in the list of enabled notification types, this method has no effect.
Parameters:
prefix - The prefix.
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - The prefix parameter is null.

getEnabledTypes

public java.util.Vector getEnabledTypes()
Gets all the enabled notification types for this filter.
Returns:
The list containing all the enabled notification types.
