public interface DmcNameResolverIF

The DmcNameResolverIF interface defines an entity that maintains a name mapping for a set of DmcNameObjectIF instances and can find those instances based on a DmcObjectName.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
DmcObject	findNamedDMO(DmcObjectName name) Finds a DMO based on its name.
DmcNamedObjectIF	findNamedObject(DmcObjectName name) Finds a named object based on its name.
DmcNamedObjectIF	findNamedObject(DmcObjectName name, int attributeID) Finds a named object based on its name and indicates the attribute via which the reference is being made.

Method Detail

findNamedObject

DmcNamedObjectIF findNamedObject(DmcObjectName name)

Finds a named object based on its name.

Returns:

the named object.

findNamedObject

DmcNamedObjectIF findNamedObject(DmcObjectName name,
                                 int attributeID)

Finds a named object based on its name and indicates the attribute via which the reference is being made. This method is used via the DmcObject and is primarily intended to handle the situation where we must resolve internal type definitions as opposed to class definitions. This is due to the fact that we create internal type definitions for classes that have the same name as the associated classes.

Parameters:

name - the name of an object

attributeID - the attribute by which it is named

Returns:

the named object

findNamedDMO

DmcObject findNamedDMO(DmcObjectName name)

Finds a DMO based on its name.

Parameters:

name - the name of the object

Returns:

A Dark Matter Object.
