Constructor Detail

StringProperty

@Deprecated
public StringProperty(String theName,
                      String theDescription,
                      String defaultValue,
                      float theUIOrder)

Deprecated.

Use PropertyFactory.stringProperty(String)

Constructor.

Parameters:

theName - Name

theDescription - Description

defaultValue - Default value

theUIOrder - UI order

Method Detail

type

public Class<String> type()

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: PropertyDescriptor

Denotes the value datatype. For multi value properties, this is not the List class but the list's component class.

Returns:

Class literal of the value type

createFrom

public String createFrom(String valueString)

Deprecated.

Parse a string and returns an instance of a value.

Parameters:

valueString - String to parse

Returns:

An instance of a value

named

@Deprecated
public static StringProperty.StringPBuilder named(String name)

Deprecated.

Use PropertyFactory.stringProperty(String)

defaultValue

public final T defaultValue()

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: PropertyDescriptor

Default value to use when the user hasn't specified one or when they wish to revert to a known-good state.

Specified by:

defaultValue in interface PropertyDescriptor<T>

Returns:

Object

isMultiValue

public final boolean isMultiValue()

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: PropertyDescriptor

Returns whether the property is multi-valued, i.e. an array of strings,

As unary property rule properties will return a value of one, you must use the get/setProperty accessors when working with the actual values. When working with multi-value properties then the get/setProperties accessors must be used.

Specified by:

isMultiValue in interface PropertyDescriptor<T>

Returns:

boolean

asDelimitedString

public String asDelimitedString(T value)

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: PropertyDescriptor

Formats the object onto a string suitable for storage within the property map.

Specified by:

asDelimitedString in interface PropertyDescriptor<T>

Parameters:

value - Object

Returns:

String

asString

protected String asString(T value)

Deprecated.

Returns a string representation of the value, even if it's null.

Parameters:

value - The value to describe

Returns:

A string representation of the value

propertyErrorFor

public String propertyErrorFor(Rule rule)

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: PropertyDescriptor

A convenience method that returns an error string if the rule holds onto a property value that has a problem. Returns null otherwise.

Specified by:

propertyErrorFor in interface PropertyDescriptor<T>

Parameters:

rule - Rule

Returns:

String

errorFor

public String errorFor(T value)

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: PropertyDescriptor

Validation function that returns a diagnostic error message for a sample property value. Returns null if the value is acceptable.

Specified by:

errorFor in interface PropertyDescriptor<T>

Parameters:

value - The value to check.

Returns:

A diagnostic message.

valueErrorFor

protected String valueErrorFor(T value)

Deprecated.

Checks the value for an error.

Parameters:

value - Value to check

Returns:

A diagnostic error message, or null if there's no problem

defaultAsString

protected final String defaultAsString()

Deprecated.

Returns a string representation of the default value.

Returns:

A string representation of the default value.

valueFrom

public final T valueFrom(String valueString)
                  throws IllegalArgumentException

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: PropertyDescriptor

Returns the value represented by this string.

Specified by:

valueFrom in interface PropertyDescriptor<T>

Parameters:

valueString - The string to parse

Returns:

The value represented by the string

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the given string cannot be parsed

description

public String description()

Description copied from interface: PropertyDescriptor

Describes the property and the role it plays within the rule it is specified for. Could be used in a tooltip.

Specified by:

description in interface PropertyDescriptor<T>

Returns:

String

uiOrder

public float uiOrder()

Description copied from interface: PropertyDescriptor

Denotes the relative order the property field should occupy if we are using an auto-generated UI to display and edit property values. If the value returned has a non-zero fractional part then this is can be used to place adjacent fields on the same row.

Specified by:

uiOrder in interface PropertyDescriptor<T>

Returns:

The relative order compared to other properties of the same rule

compareTo

public final int compareTo(PropertyDescriptor<?> otherProperty)

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable<T>

Specified by:

compareTo in interface PropertyDescriptor<T>

preferredRowCount

public int preferredRowCount()

Description copied from interface: PropertyDescriptor

If the datatype is a String then return the preferred number of rows to allocate in the text widget, returns a value of one for all other types. Useful for multi-line XPATH editors.

Specified by:

preferredRowCount in interface PropertyDescriptor<T>

Returns:

int

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

name

public String name()

Description copied from interface: PropertyDescriptor

The name of the property without spaces as it serves as the key into the property map.

Specified by:

name in interface PropertyDescriptor<T>

Returns:

String

attributeValuesById

public final Map<PropertyDescriptorField,String> attributeValuesById()

Description copied from interface: PropertyDescriptor

Returns a map representing all the property attributes of the receiver in string form.

Specified by:

attributeValuesById in interface PropertyDescriptor<T>

Returns:

map

addAttributesTo

protected void addAttributesTo(Map<PropertyDescriptorField,String> attributes)

Adds this property's attributes to the map. Subclasses can override this to add more PropertyDescriptorField.

Parameters:

attributes - The map to fill

isDefinedExternally

public boolean isDefinedExternally()

Description copied from interface: PropertyDescriptor

True if this descriptor was defined in the ruleset xml. This precision is necessary for the RuleSetWriter to write out the property correctly: if it was defined externally, then its definition must be written out, otherwise only its value.

Specified by:

isDefinedExternally in interface PropertyDescriptor<T>

Returns:

True if the descriptor was defined in xml
