Interface ParsingDelegate<M extends org.mule.metadata.api.model.MetadataType,T>

Type Parameters:

M - the generic type of the accepted MetadataTypes

T - the generic type of the produced values

All Known Subinterfaces:

ObjectParsingDelegate, ValueResolverParsingDelegate

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultObjectParsingDelegate, FixedTypeParsingDelegate, SchedulingStrategyParsingDelegate

public interface ParsingDelegate<M extends org.mule.metadata.api.model.MetadataType,T>

A simple delegate interface for optionally parsing entities which type is represented by M and produce a value of type T.

To know if this delegate is suitable to parse a given entity, call the accepts(MetadataType) method. If it returns true, then you can use the #parse(String, MetadataType, DslSyntaxResolver) to obtain a value (do not call this method if the instance didn't accept the type).

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
boolean	accepts(M metadataType) Verifies that this instance is capable of handling a specific type.
T	parse(String key, M metadataType, org.mule.runtime.extension.api.dsl.syntax.DslElementSyntax elementDsl) Performs the parsing and returns a value.

Method Detail

accepts

boolean accepts(M metadataType)

Verifies that this instance is capable of handling a specific type.

Parameters:

metadataType - a MetadataType

Returns:

whether it's safe to call #parse(String, MetadataType, DslSyntaxResolver) or not

parse

T parse(String key,
        M metadataType,
        org.mule.runtime.extension.api.dsl.syntax.DslElementSyntax elementDsl)

Performs the parsing and returns a value.

This method should only be invoked if accepts(MetadataType) returns true for the same metadataType

Parameters:

key - the parsed entity key

metadataType - a MetadataType

elementDsl - the DslElementSyntax of the parsed element

Returns:
