Class Label

java.lang.Object

com.redhat.rhn.domain.Label

Direct Known Subclasses:

VirtualInstanceState, VirtualInstanceType

public abstract class Label
extends java.lang.Object

A Label is essentially a constant because Label implementations are mapped to read-only, reference tables where the Label objects/rows already exist. Reference tables like these consist of (at least) the following columns:

• ID
• NAME
• LABEL
• CREATED
• MODIFIED

Examples of these types of tables include rhnServerGroupType and rhnVirtualInstanceType. Additional columns can be mapped in subclasses.

AbstractLabelNameHelper is conceptually the same as this class; however, it is not implemented as an immutable like this class.

For an example of how to implement a Label, take a look at VirtualInstanceType and VirtualInstanceTypeFactory.
