Constructor Summary

AspectValueHandler()
Creates a new AspectValueHandler.

Method Summary

boolean	canHandle(Node node) Tests whether the value handler can handle nodes of the given type.
boolean	canModifyValue(NodeController node, Context context, NestedValueHandler nestedValueHandler) Tests whether the value of the node can be modified.

Method Detail

canHandle

public boolean canHandle(Node node)

Description copied from interface: ValueHandler

Tests whether the value handler can handle nodes of the given type.

Specified by:

canHandle in interface ValueHandler

Parameters:

node - the node definition

Returns:

true iff the value handler can handle that node

See Also:

com.sdm.quasar.client.core.data.internal.impl.ValueHandler#canHandle(com.sdm.quasar.client.core.data.structure.Node)

hasValue

public boolean hasValue(NodeController node,
                        Context context,
                        NestedValueHandler nestedValueHandler)

Description copied from interface: ValueHandler

Tests whether the node has a indexed value. If the implementation takes responsability for the storing of the value it should determine the result on its own. Otherwise it should query the nested value handler using NestedValueHandler#hasValue().

Specified by:

hasValue in interface ValueHandler

Parameters:

node - the concerned node

context - the context to resolve the indices

nestedValueHandler - the adapter to the next value handler

Returns:

true iff the node has a value

See Also:

com.sdm.quasar.client.core.data.internal.impl.ValueHandler#hasValue(com.sdm.quasar.client.core.data.internal.impl.NodeController, com.sdm.quasar.client.core.data.Context, com.sdm.quasar.client.core.data.internal.impl.NestedValueHandler)

getValue

public java.lang.Object getValue(NodeController node,
                                 Context context,
                                 NestedValueHandler nestedValueHandler)

Description copied from interface: ValueHandler

Retrieves the value of the node. If this value handler does not take responsability for the storing of the value it must retrieve the value by using NestedValueHandler.getValue(Context).

Specified by:

getValue in interface ValueHandler

Parameters:

node - the concerned node

context - the context to resolve the indices

nestedValueHandler - the adapter to the next value handler in the chain of value handlers of that node

Returns:

the value of the node

See Also:

com.sdm.quasar.client.core.data.internal.impl.ValueHandler#getValue(com.sdm.quasar.client.core.data.internal.impl.NodeController, com.sdm.quasar.client.core.data.Context, com.sdm.quasar.client.core.data.internal.impl.NestedValueHandler)

setValue

public void setValue(NodeController node,
                     Context context,
                     java.lang.Object value,
                     NestedValueHandler nestedValueHandler)

Description copied from interface: ValueHandler

Sets the indexed value of the node. If it takes responsability for the storing of the value it must notify the node of the change if appropriate by using NodeController.startNodeValueChangedNotification(). If it does not take responsability it must notify the nested value handler using NestedValueHandler.setValue(Context, Object).

Specified by:

setValue in interface ValueHandler

Parameters:

node - the concerned node

context - the context to resolve the indices

value - the value to be set, may be null

nestedValueHandler - the adapter to the next value handler in the chain of value handlers of that node

See Also:

com.sdm.quasar.client.core.data.internal.impl.ValueHandler#setValue(com.sdm.quasar.client.core.data.internal.impl.NodeController, com.sdm.quasar.client.core.data.Context, java.lang.Object, com.sdm.quasar.client.core.data.internal.impl.NestedValueHandler)

getIndexSet

public java.util.Set getIndexSet(NodeController node,
                                 Context context,
                                 NestedValueHandler nestedValueHandler)

Description copied from interface: ValueHandler

Retrieves a Set of the index values for the node. If this value handler does not take responsability for the storing of the value it must retrieve the set by using NestedValueHandler.getIndexSet(com.sdm.quasar.client.core.data.Context).

Specified by:

getIndexSet in interface ValueHandler

Parameters:

node - the concerned node

context - the context to resolve the indices

nestedValueHandler - the adapter to the next value handler

Returns:

A Set of the index values for the node or null.

com.sdm.quasar.client.core.data.internal.impl.ValueHandler#getIndexSet(com.sdm.quasar.client.core.data.internal.impl.NodeController, com.sdm.quasar.client.core.data.Context, com.sdm.quasar.client.core.data.internal.impl.NestedValueHandler)

canModifyValue

public boolean canModifyValue(NodeController node,
                              Context context,
                              NestedValueHandler nestedValueHandler)

Description copied from interface: ValueHandler

Tests whether the value of the node can be modified. If the implementation takes responsability for the storing of the value it should determine the result on its own. Otherwise it should query the nested value handler using NestedValueHandler#canModifyValue().

Specified by:

canModifyValue in interface ValueHandler

Parameters:

node - the concerned node

context - the context to resolve the indices

nestedValueHandler - the adapter to the next value handler

Returns:

true iff the value of the node has a value

notifyChildValueChanged

public void notifyChildValueChanged(NodeController node,
                                    java.lang.String childKey)
