Constructor Detail

EventCartridge

public EventCartridge()

Method Detail

addEventHandler

public boolean addEventHandler(EventHandler ev)

Adds an event handler(s) to the Cartridge. This method will find all possible event handler interfaces supported by the passed in object.

Parameters:

ev - object impementing a valid EventHandler-derived interface

Returns:

true if a supported interface, false otherwise or if null

removeEventHandler

public boolean removeEventHandler(EventHandler ev)

Removes an event handler(s) from the Cartridge. This method will find all possible event handler interfaces supported by the passed in object and remove them.

Parameters:

ev - object impementing a valid EventHandler-derived interface

Returns:

true if a supported interface, false otherwise or if null

referenceInsert

public java.lang.Object referenceInsert(java.lang.String reference,
                                        java.lang.Object value)

Implementation of ReferenceInsertionEventHandler method referenceInsert(). Called during Velocity merge before a reference value will be inserted into the output stream.

Specified by:

referenceInsert in interface ReferenceInsertionEventHandler

Parameters:

reference - reference from template about to be inserted

value - value about to be inserted (after toString() )

Returns:

Object on which toString() should be called for output.

shouldLogOnNullSet

public boolean shouldLogOnNullSet(java.lang.String lhs,
                                  java.lang.String rhs)

Implementation of NullSetEventHandler method shouldLogOnNullSet(). Called during Velocity merge to determine if when a #set() results in a null assignment, a warning is logged.

Specified by:

shouldLogOnNullSet in interface NullSetEventHandler

Parameters:

reference - reference from template about to be inserted

Returns:

true if to be logged, false otherwise

methodException

public java.lang.Object methodException(java.lang.Class claz,
                                        java.lang.String method,
                                        java.lang.Exception e)
                                 throws java.lang.Exception

Implementation of MethodExceptionEventHandler method methodException(). Called during Velocity merge if a reference is null

Specified by:

methodException in interface MethodExceptionEventHandler

Parameters:

claz - Class that is causing the exception

method - method called that causes the exception

e - Exception thrown by the method

Returns:

Object to return as method result

Throws:

exception - to be wrapped and propogated to app

attachToContext

public final boolean attachToContext(Context context)

Attached the EventCartridge to the context Final because not something one should mess with lightly :)

Parameters:

context - context to attach to

Returns:

true if successful, false otherwise
