Class MonetaryContext

java.lang.Object

javax.money.AbstractContext

javax.money.MonetaryContext

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public final class MonetaryContext
extends AbstractContext
implements Serializable

This class models the meta data (mostly the numeric capabilities) of a MonetaryAmount in a platform independent way. It provides information about

• the maximal precision supported (0, for unlimited precision).
• the minimum scale (>=0)
• the maximal scale (>= -1, -1 for unlimited scale).
• the numeric representation class.
• any other attributes, identified by the attribute type, e.g. RoundingMode.

This class is immutable, serializable and thread-safe.

Method Detail

getPrecision

public int getPrecision()

Returns the precision setting. This value is always non-negative.

Returns:

an int which is the value of the precision setting

isFixedScale

public boolean isFixedScale()

Allows to check if minScale == maxScale.

Returns:

true if minScale == maxScale.

getMaxScale

public int getMaxScale()

Get the maximal scale supported, always >= -1. Fixed scaled numbers will have scale==maxScale for all values. -1 declares the maximal scale to be unlimited.

Returns:

the maximal scale supported, always >= -1

getAmountType

public Class<? extends MonetaryAmount> getAmountType()

Get the MonetaryAmount implementation class.

Returns:

the implementation class of the containing amount instance, never null.

from

public static MonetaryContext from(MonetaryAmountFactoryQuery monetaryAmountFactoryQuery,
                                   Class<? extends MonetaryAmount> amountClass)

This method allows to easily of a new MonetaryContext instance from a given .MonetaryAmountFactoryQuery.

Parameters:

monetaryAmountFactoryQuery - the monetary amount factory query, not null.

amountClass - the targeted implementation type.

Returns:

a new corresponding MonetaryContext instance.

from

public static MonetaryContext from(MonetaryContext monetaryContext,
                                   Class<? extends MonetaryAmount> amountClass)

Creates a new MonetaryContext).

Parameters:

monetaryContext - the base context, not null.

amountClass - the target amount class.

Returns:

a new corresponding MonetaryContext instance.

toBuilder

public MonetaryContextBuilder toBuilder()

Creates a new builder instances, initialized with the data from this one.

Returns:

a new MonetaryContextBuilder instance, never null.
