Interface IDecisionTableColumn

All Known Implementing Classes:

ADispatcherTableColumn, ArrayParameterColumn, SimpleParameterColumn

public interface IDecisionTableColumn

The abstraction that represents the column(it may be a row in transparent view) of the decision table. Decision table column contains next cells:

1. Column type
2. Code expression
3. Parameter declaration
4. Title
5. Number of rules one by one

Check the next example:

Column type	C1	C2
Code expression	paramLocal1==paramInc	paramLocal2==paramInc
Parameter declaration	String paramLocal1	String paramLocal2
Title	Local Param 1	Local Param 2
Rule #1	value11	value21
Rule #2	value12	value22
Rule #3	value13	value23

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
String	getCodeExpression() Gets the string representation of the code expression cell(the next cell after column type definition see getColumnType()).
String	getColumnType() Gets the type of the column.
int	getNumberOfLocalParameters() Condition may has several local parameters.
String	getParameterDeclaration() Gets the string representation of the parameter declaration cell(the next cell after code expression cell seegetCodeExpression()).
String	getRuleValue(int ruleIndex) Gets the first value for given rule index.
String	getRuleValue(int ruleIndex, int localParameterIndex) As condition may has several local parameters see getNumberOfLocalParameters(), so the rule values is a matrix, where first index is the rule index, the second - the index of local parameter.
String	getTitle() Gets the string representation of the title(business name) cell(the next cell after the parameter declaration cell seegetParameterDeclaration()).

Method Detail

getColumnType

String getColumnType()

Gets the type of the column. For more information see DecisionTableColumnHeaders

Returns:

string representation type of the column.

getCodeExpression

String getCodeExpression()

Gets the string representation of the code expression cell(the next cell after column type definition see getColumnType()).

Returns:

string representation of the code expression cell.

getParameterDeclaration

String getParameterDeclaration()

Gets the string representation of the parameter declaration cell(the next cell after code expression cell seegetCodeExpression()).

Returns:

the string representation of the parameter declaration cell

getTitle

String getTitle()

Gets the string representation of the title(business name) cell(the next cell after the parameter declaration cell seegetParameterDeclaration()).

Returns:

the string representation of the title(business name) cell

getRuleValue

String getRuleValue(int ruleIndex)

Gets the first value for given rule index. If the getNumberOfLocalParameters() is more than 1. Use getRuleValue(int, int) to get all values.

Returns:

the first value for given rule.

getRuleValue

String getRuleValue(int ruleIndex,
                    int localParameterIndex)

As condition may has several local parameters see getNumberOfLocalParameters(), so the rule values is a matrix, where first index is the rule index, the second - the index of local parameter. If the getNumberOfLocalParameters() is more than 1, use this method to get all rule values.

Parameters:

ruleIndex - index of the rule

localParameterIndex - index of the local parameter

Returns:

the value for the appropriate rule and local parameter

getNumberOfLocalParameters

int getNumberOfLocalParameters()

Condition may has several local parameters. See example.

C1

paramLocal1 == paramIncome || paramLocal2 == paramIncome

String paramLocal1	String paramLocal2
Local Parameter number one	Local Parameter number two
value11	value21
value12	value22

Returns:
