Interface ArmMetricGroupDefinition

public interface ArmMetricGroupDefinition extends ArmInterface

Is used to bind ArmMetricDefinition objects to an ArmTransactionWithMetricsDefinition or ArmTranReportWithMetricsDefinition object. The binding occurs when the transaction object is created using newArmTransactionWithMetricsDefinition() or newArmTranReportWithMetricsDefinition() and is immutable afterwards.

Objects implementing this interface are created using ArmMetricFactory.

public ArmMetricDefinition getMetricDefinition(int index)

Parameters: index is the index into the ArmMetricDefinition array.

It must have a value in the range 0:6. To remain consistent with ARM 2.0, any ArmMetricDefinition subclass except ArmMetricString32Definition can be assigned to elements 0:5 and only ArmMetricString32Definition can be assigned to element 6.

Returns: the metric at the array index. This value may be null.
