All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class SubmissionConfig
extends Object

Class representing a single Item Submission config definition, organized into steps.

Constructor Detail

SubmissionConfig

public SubmissionConfig(boolean isDefault,
                        String submissionName,
                        List<Map<String,String>> steps)

Constructs a new Submission Configuration object, based on the XML configuration file (item-submission.xml)

Parameters:

submissionName - the submission process name

steps - the vector listing of step information to build SubmissionStepConfig objects for this submission process

Method Detail

getSubmissionName

public String getSubmissionName()

Return the name of the item submission process definition

Returns:

the name of the submission process

isDefaultConf

public boolean isDefaultConf()

getNumberOfSteps

public int getNumberOfSteps()

Return the number of steps in this submission process

Returns:

number of steps

getStep

public SubmissionStepConfig getStep(int stepNum)

Retrieve a particular Step configuration in this Item Submission Process configuration. The first step is numbered "0" (although step #0 is the implied "select collection" step).

If you want to retrieve the step after the "select collection" step, you should retrieve step #1. If the specified step isn't found, null is returned.

Parameters:

stepNum - desired step to retrieve

Returns:

the SubmissionStepConfig object for the step

hasMoreSteps

public boolean hasMoreSteps(int stepNum)

Returns whether or not there are more steps which follow the specified "stepNum". For example, if you specify stepNum=4, then this method checks to see if there is a Step #5. The first step is numbered "0".

Parameters:

stepNum - the current step.

Returns:

true, if a step at "stepNum+1" exists. false, otherwise.
