Method Detail

format

public String format(OID instanceOID,
            Variable variable,
            boolean withOID)

Returns a textual representation of the supplied variable against the optionally supplied instance OID.

Specified by:

format in interface VariableTextFormat

Parameters:

instanceOID - the instance OID variable is associated with. If null the formatting cannot take any MIB specification of the variable into account and has to format it based on its type only.

variable - the variable to format.

withOID - if true the instanceOID should be included in the textual representation to form a VariableBinding representation.

Returns:

the textual representation.

parse

public Variable parse(int smiSyntax,
             String text)
               throws ParseException

This operation is not supported by SimpleVariableTextFormat.

Specified by:

parse in interface VariableTextFormat

Parameters:

smiSyntax - the SMI syntax identifier identifying the target Variable.

text - a textual representation of the variable.

Returns:

the new Variable instance.

Throws:

ParseException - if the variable cannot be parsed successfully.

parse

public Variable parse(OID classOrInstanceOID,
             String text)
               throws ParseException

This operation is not supported by SimpleVariableTextFormat.

Specified by:

parse in interface VariableTextFormat

Parameters:

classOrInstanceOID - the instance OID variable is associated with. Must not be null.

text - a textual representation of the variable.

Returns:

the new Variable instance.

Throws:

ParseException - if the variable cannot be parsed successfully.

parseVariableBinding

public VariableBinding parseVariableBinding(String text)
                                     throws ParseException

Description copied from interface: VariableTextFormat

Parses a textual representation of a variable binding.

Specified by:

parseVariableBinding in interface VariableTextFormat

Parameters:

text - a textual representation of the variable binding.

Returns:

the new VariableBinding instance.

Throws:

ParseException - if the variable binding cannot be parsed successfully.
