Interface Summary

Interface	Description
DmcAttributeChangeListenerIF	The DmcAttributeChangeListenerIF interface is provided as a convenience hook in case you want to create wrappers that listen to changes to an object's attribute and inform others of these changes.
DmcAttributeSchemaIF	The DmcAttributeSchemaIF defines an entity that understands how to get DmcAttributeInfo on the basis of an Integer identifier.
DmcCacheIF	The DmcCacheIF should be implemented by entities that handle the controlled modification of Dark Matter Objects.
DmcCompactSchemaIF	The DmcCompactSchemaIF defines an entity that stores a variety of information derived from Dark Matter Schema definitions in a way that is compatible with restricted Java environments such as GWT.
DmcContainerIF	The DmcContainerIF interface is implemented by objects that wrap DmcObjects and use them to store their transportable data.
DmcDMOValidatorCollectionIF	The DmcDMOValidatorCollectionIF defines a collections validators that operate in the DMO Operational Context i.e.
DmcEnumIF	The DmcEnumIF is implemented by all generated enumerations so that you can always retrieve the description/display value string associated with the enum value.
DmcExtendedReferenceIF	The DmcExtendedReferenceIF interface is a marker interface for auto generated extended reference types.
DmcFilterBuilderIF	The DmcFilterBuilderIF is used to identify singletons that are generated for filter types.
DmcHierarchicNamedObjectIF	This is a marker interface for objects that are named hierarchically.
DmcHierarchicObjectNameIF
DmcInputStreamIF	The DmcInputStreamIF is used to isolate the Dark Matter Core functionality associated with serialization from particular Java IO libraries that aren't supported in all contexts e.g.
DmcListenerManagerIF	The DmcListenerManagerIF interface defines an entity that can manage a set of attribute change listeners and notify them of changes to an object.
DmcLoggerIF	The DmcLoggerIF defines an entity that can handle logging functionality to report problems from deep within the Dark Matter Framework.
DmcMappedAttributeIF	The DmcMappedAttributeIF interface defines attribute values that have an associated key value that allows them to be stored in a Map.
DmcNameBuilderIF	The DmcNameBuilderIF is used to identify singletons that are generated for name types.
DmcNameClashResolverIF	The DmcClashResolverIF defines an entity that can attempt to resolve a clash between colliding object names in a particular namespace.
DmcNamedObjectIF	The DmcNamedObjectIF interface is implemented by objects that have a naming mechanism (usually based on a unique identifier).
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.
DmcNameResolverWithClashSupportIF	The DmcNameResolverWithClashSupportIF interface defines an entity that maintains a name mapping for a set of DmcNameObjectIF instances and can find those instances based on a DmcObjectName.
DmcObjectNameIF
DmcOutputStreamIF
DmcUniqueNameResolverIF	The DmcUniqueNameResolver is implemented by any type of storage mechanism that maintains a set of objects using a naming mechanism that is "fully qualified" i.e.

Class Summary

Class	Description
DmcAttribute<VALUE>	The DmcAttribute is an abstract base class from which all attribute values associated with Dark Matter Core Objects must be derived.
DmcAttributeInfo	The DmcAttributeInfo class is a helper class that stores a small amount of information about the individual attributes that comprise a generated Dark Matter object (DMO).
DmcAttributeInfoRef	The DmcAttributeInfoRef maintains information about whether an attribute is mandatory or optional in the context of a particular class.
DmcAttributeValidator	The DmcAttributeValidator class serves as a common base class for all attribute level validators.
DmcClassInfo	The DmcClassInfo class is a helper class that stores a small amount of information derived from a a ClassDefinition.
DmcContainer	The DmcContainer class is a convenience base class that you can use as the default implementation of the DmcContainerIF if you wish.
DmcFilter	The DmcFilter provides a common base class for the implementation of code that can determine whether or not a particular Dark Matter Object meets a set of criteria.
DmcHashedAttribute<E extends DmcMappedAttributeIF>	The DmcHashedAttribute serves as the base for multi-valued attributes that can be stored and accessed via a Map, either a HashMap, or a TreeMap.
DmcHierarchicObjectName	The DmcHierarchicObjectName class provides a common base for names that imply hierarchic relationships between objects.
DmcHierarchicObjectNameAttribute<E extends DmcHierarchicObjectName>
DmcMappedAttribute<E extends DmcMappedAttributeIF>
DmcNameClashObjectSet<OBJ extends DmcNamedObjectIF>	DmcNameClashExceptions are thrown by DmcNameResolverIF implementers if they have more than object with a given name.
DmcNamedObjectNontransportableREF<DMO extends DmcNamedObjectIF>	The DmcNamedObjectNontransportableREF is used when creating object reference attributes whose payload is NOT expected to be sent across whatever RPC mechanism is being used.
DmcNamedObjectREF<DMO extends DmcNamedObjectIF>	The DmcNamedObjectREF is an abstract base class that defines helper class for implementing the concept of references to named objects that can either be resolved or unresolved.
DmcNamedObjectTransportableREF<DMO extends DmcNamedObjectIF>	The DmcNamedObjectTransportableREF is used when creating object reference attributes whose payload is expected to be sent across whatever RPC mechanism is being used.
DmcObject	The Dark Matter Core (DMC) Object is the basic entity on which all aspects of the Dark Matter Data framework are based.
DmcObjectName	The DmcObjectName class provides a base type from which all types that represent object names should be derived.
DmcObjectNameAttribute<E extends DmcObjectNameIF>
DmcObjectValidator	The DmcObjectValidator class defines a base class for validation logic that deals with an entire in a full Java operational context; it is not meant to validate objects in a restricted operational context, such as a GWT client.
DmcOmni	The DmcOmni (short for omnipresent) provides a single point of access to information and settings that is useful in the operational environment of Dark Matter Objects.
DmcRuleCategoryInfo	The DmcRuleCategoryInfo class is used by the compact schema mechanism to store information about RuleCategory definitions.
DmcSliceInfo	The DmcSliceInfo class provides a common base for generated information about the attributes that form a "slice" of an object.
DmcTypeInfo	The DmcTypeInfo class provides information about the types that have been defined as part of a schema.

Exception Summary

Exception	Description
DmcNameClashException	DmcNameClashExceptions are thrown by DmcNameResolverIF implementers if they have more than object with a given name.
DmcValueException	DmcValueExceptions are thrown when you attempt to set the value of a DmcAttribute to a value that is not compatible with its type.
DmcValueExceptionSet	The DmcValueExceptionSet is a collection of DmcValueExceptions.
