|
<p>Provides classes and interfaces describing the roles and
|
| 44 |
|
|
syntax of attribute objects in the Java Print Service API.</p>
|
| 45 |
|
|
<p>
|
| 46 |
|
|
The package contains the base attribute interface and several subinterfaces
|
| 47 |
|
|
describing the different attribute roles of printing attributes. Furthermore,
|
| 48 |
|
|
abstract classes defining the syntax of attributes are provided. For
|
| 49 |
|
|
collections of attributes based on their roles different set interfaces and
|
| 50 |
|
|
implementing classes are available.
|
| 51 |
|
|
</p><p>
|
| 52 |
|
|
Existing attribute roles are:
|
| 53 |
|
|
<ul>
|
| 54 |
|
|
<li><a href="PrintServiceAttribute.html">PrintServiceAttribute</a>s
|
| 55 |
|
|
describing the state and other informations of a PrintService.</li>
|
| 56 |
|
|
<li><a href="PrintJobAttribute.html">PrintJobAttribute</a>s describing
|
| 57 |
|
|
the state of the print job.</li>
|
| 58 |
|
|
<li><a href="PrintRequestAttribute.html">PrintRequestAttribute</a>s specifying
|
| 59 |
|
|
how a print job should be printed and are applied to a complete print job.</li>
|
| 60 |
|
|
<li><a href="PrintJobAttribute.html">PrintJobAttribute</a> s specifying
|
| 61 |
|
|
how a single document in the print job should be printed.</li>
|
| 62 |
|
|
</ul>
|
| 63 |
|
|
</p><p>
|
| 64 |
|
|
Every attribute is of a certain syntax which defines its type and the
|
| 65 |
|
|
representation of its value. The different syntax types are provided as
|
| 66 |
|
|
abstract syntax classes (e.g. <code>IntegerSyntax</code>). Concrete attribute
|
| 67 |
|
|
implementations are subclasses of these abstract syntax classes.
|
| 68 |
|
|
</p><p>
|
| 69 |
|
|
Attributes may be collected as sets of attributes. Different interfaces for
|
| 70 |
|
|
attribute collections per role and implementations based on a HashMap are
|
| 71 |
|
|
provided (for example <a href="HashPrintJobAttributeSet.html">
|
| 72 |
|
|
HashPrintJobAttributeSet</a> for the print job attributes).
