# Class NotificationResult

java.lang.Object
javax.management.remote.NotificationResult

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable`

public class NotificationResult extends Object implements Serializable

Result of a query for buffered notifications. Notifications in a notification buffer have positive, monotonically increasing sequence numbers. The result of a notification query contains the following elements:

- The sequence number of the earliest notification still in the buffer.
- The sequence number of the next notification available for querying. This will be the starting sequence number for the next notification query.
- An array of (Notification,listenerID) pairs corresponding to the returned notifications and the listeners they correspond to.

It is possible for the `nextSequenceNumber` to be less than the `earliestSequenceNumber`. This signifies that notifications between the two might have been lost.

  - ### NotificationResult

    public NotificationResult(long earliestSequenceNumber, long nextSequenceNumber, TargetedNotification[] targetedNotifications)

    Constructs a notification query result.

    Parameters:
      `earliestSequenceNumber` - the sequence number of the earliest notification still in the buffer.
      `nextSequenceNumber` - the sequence number of the next notification available for querying.
      `targetedNotifications` - the notifications resulting from the query, and the listeners they correspond to. This array can be empty.
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if `targetedNotifications` is null or if `earliestSequenceNumber` or `nextSequenceNumber` is negative.

  - ### getEarliestSequenceNumber

    public long getEarliestSequenceNumber()
    Returns the sequence number of the earliest notification still in the buffer.
    Returns:
      the sequence number of the earliest notification still in the buffer.

  - ### getNextSequenceNumber

    public long getNextSequenceNumber()
    Returns the sequence number of the next notification available for querying.
    Returns:
      the sequence number of the next notification available for querying.

  - ### getTargetedNotifications

    public TargetedNotification[] getTargetedNotifications()
    Returns the notifications resulting from the query, and the listeners they correspond to.
    Returns:
      the notifications resulting from the query, and the listeners they correspond to. This array can be empty.

  - ### toString

    public String toString()
    Returns a string representation of the object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read.
    Overrides:
