Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
DmcAttribute<ClassInfoRef>	cloneIt() This method is overridden in the auto-generated classes to create a deep clone of the attribute.
ClassInfoRef	cloneValue(ClassInfoRef original) This method must be overridden to clone whatever value is stored in this attribute.
ClassInfoRef	deserializeValue(DmcInputStreamIF dis) This method must be overridden to read a single value from the input stream.
protected String	formatValue(ClassInfoRef value) This method is called in toOIF() to format an attribute value.
void	serializeValue(DmcOutputStreamIF dos, ClassInfoRef value) This method must be overridden to serialize the specified value to the output stream.
ClassInfoRef	typeCheck(Object value) Derived classes must overload this method to determine if the value passed in conforms with their type criteria.

Method Detail

cloneIt

public DmcAttribute<ClassInfoRef> cloneIt()

Description copied from class: DmcAttribute

This method is overridden in the auto-generated classes to create a deep clone of the attribute.

Specified by:

cloneIt in class DmcAttribute<ClassInfoRef>

Returns:

a clone of the attribute

cloneValue

public ClassInfoRef cloneValue(ClassInfoRef original)

Description copied from class: DmcAttribute

This method must be overridden to clone whatever value is stored in this attribute. The concept of clone constructors was considered, but this doesn't work for enumerated values.

Specified by:

cloneValue in class DmcAttribute<ClassInfoRef>

Parameters:

original - the original value

Returns:

A clone of the value.

deserializeValue

public ClassInfoRef deserializeValue(DmcInputStreamIF dis)
                              throws Exception

Description copied from class: DmcAttribute

This method must be overridden to read a single value from the input stream.

Specified by:

deserializeValue in class DmcAttribute<ClassInfoRef>

Parameters:

dis - the input stream.

Returns:

A value read from the input stream.

Throws:

Exception - if problems occur

formatValue

protected String formatValue(ClassInfoRef value)

Description copied from class: DmcAttribute

This method is called in toOIF() to format an attribute value. If you want a different String display format for a type of value, you can overload this in your DmcType implementation. This method is NOT called for object names.

Overrides:

formatValue in class DmcAttribute<ClassInfoRef>

Returns:

the formatted value

serializeValue

public void serializeValue(DmcOutputStreamIF dos,
                           ClassInfoRef value)
                    throws Exception

Description copied from class: DmcAttribute

This method must be overridden to serialize the specified value to the output stream.

Specified by:

serializeValue in class DmcAttribute<ClassInfoRef>

Parameters:

dos - The output stream.

value - The value to be serialized.

Throws:

Exception - if problems occur

typeCheck

public ClassInfoRef typeCheck(Object value)
                       throws DmcValueException

Description copied from class: DmcAttribute

Derived classes must overload this method to determine if the value passed in conforms with their type criteria.

Specified by:

typeCheck in class DmcAttribute<ClassInfoRef>

Parameters:

value - the value to be checked

Returns:

a value holder

Throws:

DmcValueException - if the value is incorrect
