Class ProtocolVersion

java.lang.Object

org.apache.http.ProtocolVersion

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable

Direct Known Subclasses:

HttpVersion

public class ProtocolVersion
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable, java.lang.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.

Since:

4.0

Field Detail

protocol

protected final java.lang.String protocol

Name of the protocol.

major

protected final int major

Major version number of the protocol

minor

protected final int minor

Minor version number of the protocol

Constructor Detail

ProtocolVersion

public ProtocolVersion(java.lang.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 Detail

getProtocol

public final java.lang.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 java.lang.Object

Returns:

the hashcode of this protocol version

equals

public final boolean equals(java.lang.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 java.lang.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:

java.lang.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 java.lang.String toString()

Converts this protocol version to a string.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

a protocol version string, like "HTTP/1.1"

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()
                       throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

Overrides:

clone in class java.lang.Object

Throws:

java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException
