## Class URISyntax

- java.lang.Object
- - javax.print.attribute.URISyntax

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Cloneable
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    Destination, PrinterMoreInfo, PrinterMoreInfoManufacturer, PrinterURI

      public abstract class URISyntax
      extends Object
      implements Serializable, Cloneable

  Class URISyntax is an abstract base class providing the common implementation of all attributes whose value is a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). Once constructed, a URI attribute's value is immutable.

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### URISyntax

          protected URISyntax(URI uri)

      Constructs a URI attribute with the specified URI.
      Parameters:
        `uri` - URI.
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - (unchecked exception) Thrown if `uri` is null.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getURI

          public URI getURI()

      Returns this URI attribute's URI value.
      Returns:
        the URI.

    - #### hashCode

          public int hashCode()

      Returns a hashcode for this URI attribute.
      Overrides:
        `hashCode` in class `Object`
      Returns:
        A hashcode value for this object.
      See Also:
        `Object.equals(java.lang.Object)`, `System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)`

    - #### equals

          public boolean equals(Object object)

      Returns whether this URI attribute is equivalent to the passed in object. To be equivalent, all of the following conditions must be true:
      1. `object` is not null.
      2. `object` is an instance of class URISyntax.
      3. This URI attribute's underlying URI and `object`'s underlying URI are equal.
      Overrides:
        `equals` in class `Object`
      Parameters:
        `object` - Object to compare to.
      Returns:
        True if `object` is equivalent to this URI attribute, false otherwise.
      See Also:
        `Object.hashCode()`, `HashMap`

    - #### toString

          public String toString()

      Returns a String identifying this URI attribute. The String is the string representation of the attribute's underlying URI.
      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `Object`
      Returns:
        A String identifying this object.
