Method Detail

typeCheck

public DefinitionName 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.

Overrides:

typeCheck in class DmcTypeDmcObjectName<DefinitionName>

Parameters:

value - the value to be checked

Returns:

a value holder

Throws:

DmcValueException - if the value is incorrect

cloneValue

public DefinitionName cloneValue(DefinitionName 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.

Overrides:

cloneValue in class DmcTypeDmcObjectName<DefinitionName>

Parameters:

original - the original value

Returns:

A clone of the value.

serializeValue

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

Write a DefinitionName.

Overrides:

serializeValue in class DmcTypeDmcObjectName<DefinitionName>

Parameters:

dos - The output stream.

value - The value to be serialized.

Throws:

Exception

deserializeValue

public DefinitionName deserializeValue(DmcInputStreamIF dis)
                                throws Exception

Read a DefinitionName.

Overrides:

deserializeValue in class DmcTypeDmcObjectName<DefinitionName>

Parameters:

dis - the input stream.

Returns:

A value read from the input stream.

Throws:

Exception
