- ## Constructor Details

  - ### OpenMBeanConstructorInfoSupport

    public OpenMBeanConstructorInfoSupport(String name, String description, OpenMBeanParameterInfo[] signature)

    Constructs an `OpenMBeanConstructorInfoSupport` instance, which describes the constructor of a class of open MBeans with the specified `name`, `description` and `signature`.

    The `signature` array parameter is internally copied, so that subsequent changes to the array referenced by `signature` have no effect on this instance.

    Parameters:
      `name` - cannot be a null or empty string.
      `description` - cannot be a null or empty string.
      `signature` - can be null or empty if there are no parameters to describe.
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if `name` or `description` are null or empty string.
      `ArrayStoreException` - If `signature` is not an array of instances of a subclass of `MBeanParameterInfo`.

  - ### OpenMBeanConstructorInfoSupport

    public OpenMBeanConstructorInfoSupport(String name, String description, OpenMBeanParameterInfo[] signature, Descriptor descriptor)

    Constructs an `OpenMBeanConstructorInfoSupport` instance, which describes the constructor of a class of open MBeans with the specified `name`, `description`, `signature`, and `descriptor`.

    The `signature` array parameter is internally copied, so that subsequent changes to the array referenced by `signature` have no effect on this instance.

    Parameters:
      `name` - cannot be a null or empty string.
      `description` - cannot be a null or empty string.
      `signature` - can be null or empty if there are no parameters to describe.
      `descriptor` - The descriptor for the constructor. This may be null which is equivalent to an empty descriptor.
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if `name` or `description` are null or empty string.
      `ArrayStoreException` - If `signature` is not an array of instances of a subclass of `MBeanParameterInfo`.

- ## Method Details

  - ### equals

    public boolean equals(Object obj)

    Compares the specified `obj` parameter with this `OpenMBeanConstructorInfoSupport` instance for equality.

    Returns `true` if and only if all of the following statements are true:

    - `obj` is non null,
    - `obj` also implements the `OpenMBeanConstructorInfo` interface,
    - their names are equal
    - their signatures are equal.
    This ensures that this `equals` method works properly for `obj` parameters which are different implementations of the `OpenMBeanConstructorInfo` interface.
    Specified by:
      `equals` in interface `OpenMBeanConstructorInfo`
    Overrides:
      `equals` in class `MBeanConstructorInfo`
    Parameters:
      `obj` - the object to be compared for equality with this `OpenMBeanConstructorInfoSupport` instance;
    Returns:
      `true` if the specified object is equal to this `OpenMBeanConstructorInfoSupport` instance.
    See Also:
      - `Object.hashCode()`
      - `HashMap`

  - ### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

    Returns the hash code value for this `OpenMBeanConstructorInfoSupport` instance.

    The hash code of an `OpenMBeanConstructorInfoSupport` instance is the sum of the hash codes of all elements of information used in `equals` comparisons (ie: its name and signature, where the signature hashCode is calculated by a call to `java.util.Arrays.asList(this.getSignature).hashCode()`).

    This ensures that `t1.equals(t2)` implies that `t1.hashCode()==t2.hashCode()` for any two `OpenMBeanConstructorInfoSupport` instances `t1` and `t2`, as required by the general contract of the method `Object.hashCode()`.

    However, note that another instance of a class implementing the `OpenMBeanConstructorInfo` interface may be equal to this `OpenMBeanConstructorInfoSupport` instance as defined by `equals(java.lang.Object)`, but may have a different hash code if it is calculated differently.

    As `OpenMBeanConstructorInfoSupport` instances are immutable, the hash code for this instance is calculated once, on the first call to `hashCode`, and then the same value is returned for subsequent calls.

    Specified by:
      `hashCode` in interface `OpenMBeanConstructorInfo`
    Overrides:
      `hashCode` in class `Object`
    Returns:
      the hash code value for this `OpenMBeanConstructorInfoSupport` instance
    See Also:
      - `Object.equals(java.lang.Object)`
      - `System.identityHashCode(Object)`

  - ### toString

    public String toString()

    Returns a string representation of this `OpenMBeanConstructorInfoSupport` instance.

    The string representation consists of the name of this class (ie `javax.management.openmbean.OpenMBeanConstructorInfoSupport`), the name and signature of the described constructor and the string representation of its descriptor.

    As `OpenMBeanConstructorInfoSupport` instances are immutable, the string representation for this instance is calculated once, on the first call to `toString`, and then the same value is returned for subsequent calls.

    Specified by:
      `toString` in interface `OpenMBeanConstructorInfo`
    Overrides:
      `toString` in class `Object`
    Returns:
      a string representation of this `OpenMBeanConstructorInfoSupport` instance
