Class GCParent

java.lang.Object

com.novell.nds.dirxml.engine.gcv.GCValue

com.novell.nds.dirxml.engine.gcv.GCParent

All Implemented Interfaces:

GCOwner, ConfigElement

Direct Known Subclasses:

GCGroup, GCSubordinates

public abstract class GCParent
extends GCValue
implements GCOwner

Base class for GCGroup and GCSubordinates classes. Manages child values.

Although groups and subordinates are not actual GCVs, the objects are represented programmatically as GCValues for ease of manipulation via the GCDefinitions class.

protected void cloneCommon(GCValue newValue)

Helper function for derived classes to implement cloneValue. Clones data common to all GCValue instances.

Overrides:

cloneCommon in class GCValue

Parameters:

newValue - the value to which to copy

getOwner

public GCOwner getOwner()

Return the GCDefinitions instance that owns this instance.

Overrides:

getOwner in class GCValue

Returns:

owner

appendValue

public void appendValue(GCValue value)
                 throws GCVArgumentException

Add a GCV to the end of the current list of GCVs.

Specified by:

appendValue in interface GCOwner

Parameters:

value - GCValue object to add.

Throws:

GCVArgumentException - thrown if value has the same name as a GCV already in the list.

insertValue

public void insertValue(GCValue newValue,
                        java.lang.String insertionPoint)
                 throws GCVArgumentException

Insert a GCV into the current list of GCVs.

Specified by:

insertValue in interface GCOwner

Parameters:

newValue - GCValue object to add.

insertionPoint - name of GCV in front of which newValue is to be inserted.

Throws:

GCVArgumentException - thrown if insertionPoint doesn't match the name of any GCV in the list, or if the name of newValue matches the name of a GCV already in the list.

insertValue

public void insertValue(GCValue newValue,
                        GCValue insertionPoint)
                 throws GCVArgumentException

Insert a GCV into the current list of GCVs.

Specified by:

insertValue in interface GCOwner

Parameters:

newValue - GCValue object to add.

insertionPoint - GCV in front of which newValue is to be inserted.

Throws:

GCVArgumentException - thrown if insertionPoint doesn't appear in the list, or if the name of newValue matches the name of a GCV already in the list.

replaceValue

public void replaceValue(GCValue newValue,
                         GCValue oldValue)
                  throws GCVArgumentException

public boolean removeValue(java.lang.String name)

Remove a GCV from the list of GCVs.

Specified by:

removeValue in interface GCOwner

Parameters:

Remove a GCV from the list of GCVs.

Specified by:

addName in interface GCOwner

Parameters:

newValue - new GCValue

GCVArgumentException

removeName

public void removeName(GCValue oldValue)

Remove a name from the defsList map. This is designed to be called from GCParent.

iterator

public java.util.Iterator iterator()

iterator in interface GCOwner

Returns:

an Iterator instance.

See Also:

shallowIterator()

shallowIterator

public java.util.Iterator shallowIterator()

Return an Iterator instance that can be used to iterate through the list of GCVs. The iterator returned will iterate through only GCValues that are direct children of this instance.

The Iterator's next() method returns GCValue instances.

Specified by:

shallowIterator in interface GCOwner

Returns:

an Iterator instance.

See Also:

iterator()

checkAllowedType

public boolean checkAllowedType(int type)

Check whether or not a particular Control Value type is allowed in this collection of GCVs.

Classes derived from GCDefinitions (e.g., ShimParams) may allow more or fewer types.

Specified by:

checkAllowedType in interface GCOwner

Parameters:

type - GCValue.TYPE_STRING, etc.

Returns:

true if allowed, false otherwise

parseValue

public void parseValue(java.lang.String value)
                throws GCVException

public java.lang.String getValue()

Return the current value of this instance.

Specified by:

getValue in class GCValue

Returns:

String containing current value of this instance.

setValue

public void setValue(java.lang.String value)
              throws GCVException

Set the value for this instance.

The passed value must conform to the rules noted under parseValue().

Specified by:

setValue in class GCValue
