- Constructor Detail
  - AbstractObjectDescription
```
public AbstractObjectDescription(java.lang.Class className)
```
    Creates a new object description.
    
    Parameters:
    
    className - the class.
- Method Detail
  - getParameterDefinition
```
public java.lang.Class getParameterDefinition(java.lang.String name)
```
    Returns a parameter class.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getParameterDefinition in interface ObjectDescription
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the parameter definition.
    
    Returns:
    
    The class.
  - setParameterDefinition
```
public void setParameterDefinition(java.lang.String name,
                                   java.lang.Class obj)
```
    Sets the class for a parameter.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the parameter name.
    
    obj - the parameter class.
  - convertPrimitiveClass
```
public static java.lang.Class convertPrimitiveClass(java.lang.Class obj)
```
    Converts primitives to corresponding object class.
    
    Parameters:
    
    obj - the class.
    
    Returns:
    
    The class.
  - setParameter
```
public void setParameter(java.lang.String name,
                         java.lang.Object value)
```
    Sets a parameter.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setParameter in interface ObjectDescription
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name.
    
    value - the value.
  - getParameterNames
```
public java.util.Iterator getParameterNames()
```
    Returns an iterator for the parameter names.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getParameterNames in interface ObjectDescription
    
    Returns:
    
    The iterator.
  - getDefinedParameterNames
```
protected java.util.Iterator getDefinedParameterNames()
```
    Returns an iterator for the parameter names.
    
    Returns:
    
    The iterator.
  - getParameter
```
public java.lang.Object getParameter(java.lang.String name)
```
    Returns a parameter value.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getParameter in interface ObjectDescription
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the parameter name.
    
    Returns:
    
    The parameter value.
  - getObjectClass
```
public java.lang.Class getObjectClass()
```
    Returns the class for the object.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getObjectClass in interface ObjectDescription
    
    Returns:
    
    The class.
  - getInstance
```
public ObjectDescription getInstance()
```
    Returns a cloned instance of the object description. The contents of the parameter objects collection are cloned too, so that any already defined parameter value is copied to the new instance.
    Parameter definitions are not cloned, as they are considered read-only.
    The newly instantiated object description is not configured. If it need to be configured, then you have to call configure on it.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getInstance in interface ObjectDescription
    
    Returns:
    
    A cloned instance.
  - getUnconfiguredInstance
```
public ObjectDescription getUnconfiguredInstance()
```
    Returns a cloned instance of the object description. The contents of the parameter objects collection are cloned too, so that any already defined parameter value is copied to the new instance.
    Parameter definitions are not cloned, as they are considered read-only.
    The newly instantiated object description is not configured. If it need to be configured, then you have to call configure on it.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getUnconfiguredInstance in interface ObjectDescription
    
    Returns:
    
    A cloned instance.
  - configure
```
public void configure(Configuration config)
```
    Configures this factory. The configuration contains several keys and their defined values. The given reference to the configuration object will remain valid until the report parsing or writing ends.
    The configuration contents may change during the reporting.
    
    Specified by:
    
    configure in interface ObjectDescription
    
    Parameters:
    
    config - the configuration, never null
  - getConfig
```
public Configuration getConfig()
```
    Returns the configuration for that object description.
    
    Returns:
    
    the configuration or null, if not yet set.
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)
```
    Tests for equality.
    
    Specified by:
    
    equals in interface ObjectDescription
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class java.lang.Object
    
    Parameters:
    
    o - the object to test.
    
    Returns:
    
    A boolean.
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Returns a hash code for the object.
    
    Specified by:
    
    hashCode in interface ObjectDescription
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class java.lang.Object
    
    Returns:
    
    The hash code.
