Annotation Interface OnVSFieldStatic


Annotation for tagging methods to receive VirtualSpace Field events, i.e. for Virtual Field Processors.

Only 1 acceptable method pattern for this annotation.
Note: methodName can be any name you want to use.

Example:

   @VirtualSpace(ref="Proj:/vs/subFolder/OneVS")
   public class MyVSListener
     {
     public MyVSListener()
       {
       ...
       }

     // Method called to validate the "FieldName" field.
     @OnVSFieldValidateStatic(ref="Proj:/vs/path", descr="Validates a Field Name", ops={VSFieldEvent.Op.VALIDATE})
     public static void onMyStaticValidate(VSFieldEvent event) throws ValueConversionException
       {
       ...
       }

     // Method called to convert the all possible fields ("*") values to other formats.
     @OnVSFieldStatic(ref="*", descr="Converts a Field Value", ops={Op.CONVERT_TO_NATIVE}, source={String.class}, target={Boolean.class})
     public static void onMyStaticConvert(VSFieldEvent event) throws ValueConversionException
       {
       ...
       }
     }

  • Element Details

    • ref

      String ref
      The Full String Reference to the Property. This reference may be set to "*" to define all potential references, and thus not specifying a back-reference at all.
      Returns:
      The Full String Reference to the Property (includes the Module Project and slashes), or "*".
    • descr

      String descr
      The description of the validator routine, used in the Eclipse UI.
      Returns:
      A descriptive string of the validator.
    • ops

      The list of supported event operations in this instance. Only the event for the supported operations are fired to the annotation implementing method.
      Returns:
      The list of supported events, e.g. VALIDATE and/or CONVERT.
    • source

      Class<?>[] source
      The list of supported Value conversion classes that are handled as source conversion from a value, used in the CONVERT_* operations.
      Returns:
      One or more supported native conversion classes from:
      • String.class,
      • java.math.BigDecimal.class,
      • Boolean.class,
      • Byte.class,
