 The <a

 package</a> provides classes that are useful when handling or implementing
 entries.

 <H3>Changes since the v2.0.1 release</H3>

 <dl>

 <dt><b>The API Documentation is Now the Formal Specification</b>
 <dd>

 Previously, the formal specification for the <code>net.jini.entry</code>
 package was a separate document. With this release, the formal specification
 is the revised API Documentation. As part of this change the specification
 language was generally cleaned up and made tighter.<p>

 <dt><b>Behavior of Various <code>AbstractEntry</code> Methods Clarified</b>
 <dd>

 The previous versions of the specification for <code><a
 href="../api/net/jini/entry/AbstractEntry.html">net.jini.entry.AbstractEntry</a></code>
 did not specify how the static <code>equals</code>, <code>hashCode</code>,
 and <code>toString</code> methods behaved if passed <code>null</code>
 values. This version of the specification specifies that :

 <ul>
 <li> <code>equals</code> should return <code>true</code> if both
      arguments are <code>null</code>, and <code>false</code> if
      only one argument is <code>null</code>.
 <li> <code>hashCode</code> should return <code>0</code> if passed
      <code>null</code>.
 <li> <code>toString</code> should return <code>"null"</code> if
      passed <code>null</code>.
 </ul>
 <p>
 Note: Previously our implementation of <code>AbstractEntry</code> would
 throw a <code>NullPointerException</code> if any of these methods were
 passed a <code>null</code> value.
 <p>

 Also, the specification of the static <code>toString</code> method was
 changed to require that the returned string include the name of the
 argument's class.

 <dt><b> <code>UnusableEntriesException</code> Added</b>
 <dd>

 The <code><a
 href="../api/net/jini/entry/UnusableEntriesException.html">net.jini.entry.UnusableEntriesException</a></code>
 class was added. <code>UnusableEntriesException</code> can be used by
 methods that normally return a collection of entries when one or more of
 the entries can't be unmarshalled.
