Class ProtocolVersion

java.lang.Object
org.apache.http.ProtocolVersion
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Cloneable
Direct Known Subclasses:
HttpVersion
@Contract(threading=IMMUTABLE) public class ProtocolVersion extends Object implements Serializable, Cloneable
Represents a protocol version. The "major.minor" numbering scheme is used to indicate versions of the protocol.

This class defines a protocol version as a combination of protocol name, major version number, and minor version number. Note that equals(java.lang.Object) and hashCode() are defined as final here, they cannot be overridden in derived classes.

  • Constructor Details

    • ProtocolVersion

      public ProtocolVersion(String protocol, int major, int minor)
      Create a protocol version designator.
      Parameters:
      protocol - the name of the protocol, for example "HTTP"
      major - the major version number of the protocol
      minor - the minor version number of the protocol

  • Method Details

    • getProtocol

      public final String getProtocol()
      Returns the name of the protocol.
      Returns:
      the protocol name

    • getMajor

      public final int getMajor()
      Returns the major version number of the protocol.
      Returns:
      the major version number.

    • getMinor

      public final int getMinor()
      Returns the minor version number of the HTTP protocol.
      Returns:
      the minor version number.

    • forVersion

      public ProtocolVersion forVersion(int major, int minor)
      Obtains a specific version of this protocol. This can be used by derived classes to instantiate themselves instead of the base class, and to define constants for commonly used versions.

      The default implementation in this class returns this if the version matches, and creates a new ProtocolVersion otherwise.

      Parameters:
      major - the major version
      minor - the minor version
      Returns:
      a protocol version with the same protocol name and the argument version

    • hashCode

      public final int hashCode()
      Obtains a hash code consistent with equals(java.lang.Object).
      Overrides:
      hashCode in class Object
      Returns:
      the hashcode of this protocol version

    • equals

      public final boolean equals(Object obj)
      Checks equality of this protocol version with an object. The object is equal if it is a protocl version with the same protocol name, major version number, and minor version number. The specific class of the object is not relevant, instances of derived classes with identical attributes are equal to instances of the base class and vice versa.
      Overrides:
      equals in class Object
      Parameters:
      obj - the object to compare with
      Returns:
      true if the argument is the same protocol version, false otherwise

    • isComparable

      public boolean isComparable(ProtocolVersion that)
      Checks whether this protocol can be compared to another one. Only protocol versions with the same protocol name can be compared.
      Parameters:
      that - the protocol version to consider
      Returns:
      true if compareToVersion can be called with the argument, false otherwise

    • compareToVersion

      public int compareToVersion(ProtocolVersion that)
      Compares this protocol version with another one. Only protocol versions with the same protocol name can be compared. This method does not define a total ordering, as it would be required for Comparable.
      Parameters:
      that - the protocol version to compare with
      Returns:
      a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this version is less than, equal to, or greater than the argument version.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the argument has a different protocol name than this object, or if the argument is null

    • greaterEquals

      public final boolean greaterEquals(ProtocolVersion version)
      Tests if this protocol version is greater or equal to the given one.
      Parameters:
      version - the version against which to check this version
      Returns:
      true if this protocol version is comparable to the argument and compares as greater or equal, false otherwise

    • lessEquals

      public final boolean lessEquals(ProtocolVersion version)
      Tests if this protocol version is less or equal to the given one.
      Parameters:
      version - the version against which to check this version
      Returns:
      true if this protocol version is comparable to the argument and compares as less or equal, false otherwise

    • toString

      public String toString()
      Converts this protocol version to a string.
      Overrides:
      toString in class Object
      Returns:
      a protocol version string, like "HTTP/1.1"

    • clone

      public Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException
      Throws:
      CloneNotSupportedException
