Class Address

Contents
  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    InternetAddress, NewsAddress

    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.

        toString in class Object
        Returns:
        string representation of this 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
