Method Detail

typeCheck

protected KeyedType 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<KeyedType>

Parameters:

value - the value to be checked

Returns:

a value holder

Throws:

DmcValueException - if the value is incorrect

cloneValue

protected KeyedType cloneValue(KeyedType 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<KeyedType>

Parameters:

original - the original value

Returns:

A clone of the value.

serializeValue

public void serializeValue(DmcOutputStreamIF dos,
                           KeyedType 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<KeyedType>

Parameters:

dos - The output stream.

value - The value to be serialized.

Throws:

Exception - if problems occur

deserializeValue

public KeyedType 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<KeyedType>

Parameters:

dis - the input stream.

Returns:

A value read from the input stream.

Throws:

Exception - if problems occur

getNew

protected DmcAttribute<?> getNew()

Description copied from class: DmcAttribute

Derived classes must return a new, empty version of themselves. This is required in order to be GWT compatible since the Class.newInstance() method IS NOT SUPPORTED.

Specified by:

getNew in class DmcAttribute<KeyedType>

Returns:

An instance of the appropriate DmcAttribute derivative. This mechanism is required to support the DmcTypeModifier concepts that allow you to record the changes made on an object and transmit them in modification events.

cloneIt

public DmcAttribute<KeyedType> 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<KeyedType>

Returns:

a clone of the attribute
