javax.management.relation
class RelationTypeSupport

java.lang.Object extended by javax.management.relation.RelationTypeSupport
All Implemented Interfaces:
RelationType

public class RelationTypeSupport
extends Object
implements RelationType

A RelationTypeSupport object implements the RelationType interface.

It represents a relation type, providing role information for each role expected to be supported in every relation of that type.

A relation type includes a relation type name and a list of role infos (represented by RoleInfo objects).

A relation type has to be declared in the Relation Service:

- either using the createRelationType() method, where a RelationTypeSupport object will be created and kept in the Relation Service

- either using the addRelationType() method where the user has to create an object implementing the RelationType interface, and this object will be used as representing a relation type in the Relation Service.

The serialVersionUID of this class is 4611072955724144607L.
