            throws OpenDataException
TabularType instance, checking for the validity of the given parameters.
 The validity constraints are described below for each parameter. 
 
 The Java class name of tabular data values this tabular type represents 
 (ie the class name returned by the getClassName method) 
 is set to the string value returned by TabularData.class.getName().
 
typeName - The name given to the tabular type this instance represents; cannot be a null or empty string.
 description - The human readable description of the tabular type this instance represents; 
			    cannot be a null or empty string.
 rowType - The type of the row elements of tabular data values described by this tabular type instance;
			cannot be null.
 indexNames - The names of the items the values of which are used to uniquely index each row element in the 
			   tabular data values described by this tabular type instance; 
			   cannot be null or empty. Each element should be an item name defined in rowType
			   (no null or empty string allowed).
			   It is important to note that the order of the item names in indexNames
                     is used by the methods getremoveTabularData to match their array of values parameter to items.
 java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if rowType is null, 
					 or indexNames is a null or empty array,
					 or an element in indexNames is a null or empty string,
					 or typeName or description is a null or empty string.
 OpenDataException - if an element's value of indexNames 
				  is not an item name defined in rowType.| Method Detail | 
public CompositeType getRowType()
TabularType instance.
public java.util.List getIndexNames()
Returns, in the same order as was given to this instance's
 constructor, an unmodifiable List of the names of the items the
 values of which are used to uniquely index each row element of
 tabular data values described by this TabularType
 instance.
public boolean isValue(java.lang.Object obj)
TabularType instance.
 
 If obj is null or is not an instance of javax.management.openmbean.TabularData,
 isValue returns false. 
 If obj is an instance of javax.management.openmbean.TabularData,
 its tabular type is tested for equality with this tabular type instance, and isValue
 returns true if and only if equalstrue.
 
 
isValue in class OpenTypeobj - the value whose open type is to be tested for equality with this TabularType instance.
true if obj is a value for this tabular type, false otherwise.public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)
obj parameter with this TabularType instance for equality. 
 
 Two TabularType instances are equal if and only if all of the following statements are true:
 
equals in class OpenTypeobj - the object to be compared for equality with this TabularType instance;
		    if obj is null, equals returns false.
true if the specified object is equal to this TabularType instance.public int hashCode()
TabularType instance. 
 
 The hash code of a TabularType instance is the sum of the hash codes
 of all elements of information used in equals comparisons 
 (ie: name, row type, index names). 
 This ensures that  t1.equals(t2)  implies that  t1.hashCode()==t2.hashCode()  
 for any two TabularType instances t1 and t2, 
 as required by the general contract of the method
 Object.hashCode().
 
 As TabularType 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.
hashCode in class OpenTypeTabularType instancepublic java.lang.String toString()
TabularType instance. 
 
 The string representation consists of the name of this class (ie javax.management.openmbean.TabularType), 
 the type name for this instance, the row type string representation of this instance,
 and the index names of this instance.
 
 As TabularType 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.
