      • KStringHolder

        public KStringHolder​(IKStringHolder<?> holder)
        Constructor for a holder of a single KString.
        Parameters:
        holder - The holder property.
        Throws:
        java.lang.NullPointerException - If the holder is null.

      • disposeHolder

        public void disposeHolder()
        Disposes of the instance and the KString and removes property listener. Disposal can be done followed by calling setKString() with a new KString.

      • setKString

        public void setKString​(KString ks)
        Called when a KString is assigned in the holder.
        Parameters:
        ks - The KString, or null for none (same as calling dispose() method).

      • getRefactoredKString

        public KString getRefactoredKString()
        Gets the refactored KString.

        The returned instance is of the same type, i.e. if a PlainKString is the original string, this will also be the return from this call.

        Returns:
        The refactored KString, or null if this instance is disposed of.

      • resolve

        public void resolve​(boolean doReCheck,
                    GEvent triggerEvent)
        Resolves the references.
        Parameters:
        doReCheck - Re-check flag.
        triggerEvent - The triggering property event.

      • resolveBeforeSend

        public void resolveBeforeSend()
        Resolves the references in the KString if required before sending it to the remote party. The reference tree is assumed valid.

      • isReferenceTreeValid

        protected boolean isReferenceTreeValid()
        Verifies if the tree is valid for reference creation, i.e. that there is a valid Property Manager owning the root. This method can be overridden in order for references not to be created for the particular configuration (e.g. Client-related references such as LabelForReference that does not create references when communicating).
        Returns:
        true if the root property manager is found, false otherwise.

      • onEvent

        public void onEvent​(GEvent event)
        Called when a property event is send to the holder property.
        Specified by:
        onEvent in interface EventListener
        Parameters:
        event - The property event.

      • onReferenceEvent

        protected void onReferenceEvent​(ResolveReferencesEvent event)
        Called to perform reference resolving. A property should override this method if it needs to perform reference resolving and validation.

        Subclasses override this method and only subclasses extending PropCnr needs to call super.onReferenceEvent(ResolveReferenceEvent event).

        Parameters:
        event - The resolve references event.

      • verify

        public void verify​(PropVerification verification,
                   java.lang.String location)
        Called when a KString requires verification of the references due to broken or valid references. This event is fired only in the Designer.
        Parameters:
        verification - The property verification class.
        location - The location.
