Class AbstractBaseRelativeReference<TARGET extends IPropCnr>

    • Constructor Detail

      • AbstractBaseRelativeReference

        protected AbstractBaseRelativeReference()
        Creates a Base Relative Reference property with no name and with a null value.

      • AbstractBaseRelativeReference

        public AbstractBaseRelativeReference​(Atom propertyAtom)
        Creates a Base Relative Reference property with the specified name with a null value.
        Parameters:
        propertyAtom - the property atom.

      • AbstractBaseRelativeReference

        public AbstractBaseRelativeReference​(Atom propertyAtom,
                                     java.lang.String newValue)
        Creates a Base Relative Reference property with the specified name and value.
        Parameters:
        propertyAtom - the property atom.
        newValue - the new string value for the property.

    • Method Detail

      • doPostResolve

        protected boolean doPostResolve()
        Returns if resolving of this reference should be done in post- (true) or pre-stage (false).
        Overrides:
        doPostResolve in class AbstractReference<TARGET extends IPropCnr>
        Returns:
        true by default, i.e. in post-mode once main references are resolved.

      • getLookupPropReference

        protected java.lang.String getLookupPropReference​(ReferenceString name)
        Creates the reference string to look-up from the ReferenceString. Override this method for e.g. Base or Fixed Relative referencing.
        Overrides:
        getLookupPropReference in class AbstractReference<TARGET extends IPropCnr>
        Parameters:
        name - The reference name.
        Returns:
        The property reference string to look-up.

      • setLookedUpReference

        protected java.lang.String setLookedUpReference​(java.lang.String name)
        Sets the reference found that also has been validated. This method gives the opportunity for a subclass to remove e.g. the Base or Fixed Relative reference from the string start.
        Overrides:
        setLookedUpReference in class AbstractReference<TARGET extends IPropCnr>
        Parameters:
        name - The full reference.
        Returns:
        The reference to set in this property as ReferenceString.

      • validateReferenceScope

        protected java.lang.String validateReferenceScope​(TARGET property)
        Called when the a property container has been renamed or moved in order to perform validation of the reference, e.g. if a base property has been moved out of scope. The implementor can assign or clear property errors by returning the error string.
        Overrides:
        validateReferenceScope in class AbstractReference<TARGET extends IPropCnr>
        Parameters:
        property - Property to validate the scope of, i.e. the referenced property.
        Returns:
        The error message, or null for valid. Default implementation returns null.

      • getScopeErrorMessage

        protected java.lang.String getScopeErrorMessage()
        Gets the error message when the base container doesn't validate scope. Override to produce a better error message for the specialized reference implementation.
        Returns:
        "Target reference is not a child of the base property container".
