extends DmcNamedObjectREF<DMO>
implements Serializable, DmcNamedObjectIF, Comparable<DmcNamedObjectNontransportableREF<?>>

The DmcNamedObjectNontransportableREF is used when creating object reference attributes whose payload is NOT expected to be sent across whatever RPC mechanism is being used. The object may be resolved locally, but will never be sent to the remote side of a connection.

object

Constructor Detail

DmcNamedObjectNontransportableREF

public DmcNamedObjectNontransportableREF()

Constructs a new object reference attribute.

Method Detail

setObject

public abstract void setObject(DMO o)

Description copied from class: DmcNamedObjectREF

Sets the object, thus making this reference "resolved".

Specified by:

setObject in class DmcNamedObjectREF<DMO extends DmcNamedObjectIF>

Parameters:

o - the object.

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Description copied from interface: DmcNamedObjectIF

This method should check the type of the obj param and compare the name of this object with the one passed as argument.

Specified by:

equals in interface DmcNamedObjectIF

Overrides:

equals in class DmcNamedObjectREF<DMO extends DmcNamedObjectIF>

Parameters:

obj - The comparison object.

Returns:

true if the object passed as argument is a DmcNamedObjectREF and has a DmcObjectName that equals our DmcObjectName.

valuesAreEqual

public boolean valuesAreEqual(DmcMappedAttributeIF obj)

Description copied from interface: DmcMappedAttributeIF

This method is used by the Modifier mechanism to determine whether or not a change has occurred as a result of applying the modifier. Having this method forces you to implement a value comparison function, as opposed to relying on you to remember to overload the equals method on your values. When the value is put in the map, we get back the existing value if the key already existed. The add() method will then call this function to determine if a change really took place; if this method returns false, we report the change (by passing back the new value), otherwise we return null from the add().

You should ensure that you compare both the key and the value in your comparison.

Specified by:

valuesAreEqual in interface DmcMappedAttributeIF

Parameters:

obj - Another mapped attribute.

Returns:

true if the value of this attribute matches the value of the object passed in and false otherwise.

getObject

public DMO getObject()

Specified by:

getObject in class DmcNamedObjectREF<DMO extends DmcNamedObjectIF>

Returns:

The object if this reference is resolved.

isResolved

public boolean isResolved()

Specified by:

isResolved in class DmcNamedObjectREF<DMO extends DmcNamedObjectIF>

Returns:

True if the reference is resolved and false otherwise.

compareTo

public int compareTo(DmcNamedObjectNontransportableREF<?> o)

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable<DmcNamedObjectNontransportableREF<?>>
