public class XMLDataContainer

extends XMLDataNode

implements Container

The XMLDataContainer is the Container wrapper for a Folder-implementing JavaBean that can be persisted to XML using the XML marshalling framework in oracle.ide.marshal.xml.

XMLDataContainer wraps objects that can contain children. In order to interact with XMLDataContainer, wrapped objects must implement Folder.

All methods to the XMLDataContainer's Element, Folder, and Container methods are forwarded to the wrapped Folder object.

If the wrapped object is not an instance of Folder, then an IllegalStateException will be thrown every time an operation that requires the children list is called.

Method Summary

boolean	add(Element element) Appends a child Element to the end of the Folder.
boolean	add(Element element, boolean notify) This is a variant of the Folder.add(Element) method that accepts an additional flag that indicates whether or not notifications of the change should be sent to registered observers.
boolean	canAdd(Element element) Other classes can call this method to determine whether the given Element can be added to the Folder.
boolean	canRemove(Element element) Other classes can call this method to determine whether the specified Element can be removed from this Folder.
boolean	containsChild(Element child) Returns true if the folder contains the specified child Element; returns false otherwise.
protected Folder	getDataFolder() Retrieves the Folder object associated with this XMLDataContainer instance.
boolean	mayHaveChildren() This method is part of the Element interface to provide a convenient way of determining whether an object may have children without having to test the object's type with the instanceof operator or having to downcast to a more specific type.
boolean	remove(Element element) Removes the specified child Element.
boolean	remove(Element element, boolean notify) This is a variant of the Folder.remove(Element) method that accepts an additional flag that indiciates whether or not notifications of the change should be sent to registered observers.
void	removeAll() Removes all children from the folder.
void	removeAll(boolean notify) Removes all elements in the Container.
int	size() Returns the current number of children in the folder.

Method Detail

mayHaveChildren

public boolean mayHaveChildren()

Description copied from interface: Element

This method is part of the Element interface to provide a convenient way of determining whether an object may have children without having to test the object's type with the instanceof operator or having to downcast to a more specific type.

An implementation of Element that represents a leaf in a tree structure should return false from this method. An implementation of Element that could represent a non-leaf in a tree structure should return true from this method, even if it does not currently contain any children.

Specified by:

mayHaveChildren in interface Element

Overrides:

mayHaveChildren in class XMLDataNode

canAdd

public boolean canAdd(Element element)

Description copied from interface: Folder

Other classes can call this method to determine whether the given Element can be added to the Folder.

Specified by:

canAdd in interface Folder

Parameters:

element - the Element that is about to be added to this Folder.

Returns:

true if the specified Element can be added to this Folder; false if the Element cannot be added.

add

public boolean add(Element element)

Description copied from interface: Folder

Appends a child Element to the end of the Folder.

Specified by:

add in interface Folder

canRemove

public boolean canRemove(Element element)

Description copied from interface: Folder

Other classes can call this method to determine whether the specified Element can be removed from this Folder.

Specified by:

canRemove in interface Folder

Parameters:

element - the Element that is about to be removed from this Folder.

Returns:

true if the specified Element can be removed from this Folder; false if the Element cannot be removed.

remove

public boolean remove(Element element)

Description copied from interface: Folder

Removes the specified child Element. If the child object appears more than once, only the first instance is removed.

Specified by:

remove in interface Folder

Parameters:

element - The child object to remove.

containsChild

public boolean containsChild(Element child)

Description copied from interface: Folder

Returns true if the folder contains the specified child Element; returns false otherwise.

Specified by:

containsChild in interface Folder

size

public int size()

Description copied from interface: Folder

Returns the current number of children in the folder.

Specified by:

size in interface Folder

removeAll

public void removeAll()

Description copied from interface: Folder

Removes all children from the folder.

Specified by:

removeAll in interface Folder

add

public boolean add(Element element,
                   boolean notify)

Description copied from interface: Container

This is a variant of the Folder.add(Element) method that accepts an additional flag that indicates whether or not notifications of the change should be sent to registered observers.

Specified by:

add in interface Container

Parameters:

element - The Element to be added to this Container.

notify - If true, any observers are notified of the change. If false, no notification is sent.

remove

public boolean remove(Element element,
                      boolean notify)

Description copied from interface: Container

This is a variant of the Folder.remove(Element) method that accepts an additional flag that indiciates whether or not notifications of the change should be sent to registered observers.

Specified by:

remove in interface Container

Parameters:

element - The Element to be removed from this Container.

notify - If true, any observers are notified of the change. If false, no notification is sent.

removeAll

public void removeAll(boolean notify)

Description copied from interface: Container

Removes all elements in the Container. The notify flag indicates whether observers should be notified of the change.

Specified by:

removeAll in interface Container

Parameters:

notify - If true, any observers are notified of the change. If false, no notification is sent.

getDataFolder

protected final Folder getDataFolder()
                              throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

Retrieves the Folder object associated with this XMLDataContainer instance. If there is no Folder currently associated with the XMLDataContainer, however, then an IllegalStateException is thrown.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the XMLDataContainer is not capable of holding a Folder.
