public abstract class Address
extends Object
implements Serializable

This abstract class models the addresses in a message. Subclasses provide specific implementations. Subclasses will typically be serializable so that (for example) the use of Address objects in search terms can be serialized along with the search terms.

Address

public Address()

equals

public abstract boolean equals(Object address)

The equality operator. Subclasses should provide an implementation of this method that supports value equality (do the two Address objects represent the same destination?), not object reference equality. A subclass must also provide a corresponding implementation of the hashCode method that preserves the general contract of equals and hashCode - objects that compare as equal must have the same hashCode.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

address - Address object

getType

public abstract String getType()

Return a type string that identifies this address type.

Returns:

address type

toString

public abstract String toString()

Return a String representation of this address object.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

string representation of this address
