      Validation completed flag.
  • Constructor Details

    • AbstractReference

      protected AbstractReference()
      Creates a Abstract Reference property with no name and with a null value.
    • AbstractReference

      protected AbstractReference(Atom propertyAtom)
      Creates a Abstract Reference property with the specified name with a null value.
      Parameters:
      propertyAtom - the property atom.
    • AbstractReference

      protected AbstractReference(Atom propertyAtom, String newValue)
      Creates a Abstract Reference property with the specified name and value.
      Parameters:
      propertyAtom - the property atom.
      newValue - the new string value for the property.
  • Method Details

    • doPostResolve

      protected boolean doPostResolve()
      Returns if resolving of this reference should be done in post- (true) or pre-stage (false).
      Returns:
      false by default, i.e. always in first pre-stage.
    • getFixedTarget

      protected TARGET getFixedTarget()
      Support for a fixed reference.

      Override to provide the support.

      Returns:
      The fixed reference to return in cases the target reference is needed, and also serves as a verification if a new reference should be created or not. Returning null causes normal behavior (default).
    • clearFixedTarget

      protected void clearFixedTarget()
      Called to clear the fixed reference in case the reference is changed. This will revert back to normal processing.

      The "clone" method does not change to be overridden to clear the fixed target as this method is called during cloning.

      Override to provide the support. It is important to also implement this method along with "getFixedTarget".

    • getAbsoluteReference

      public final String getAbsoluteReference()
      Gets the absolute reference as a String.
      Returns:
      A non-relative absolute reference string, empty string if reference property is disposed of, or null if none exists.
    • setPropValue

      public final boolean setPropValue(String newValue) throws PropTypeException, PropValidateException
      Sets a new value for this property. If any listener is present and the value has changed compare to the last value, the listener is informed.
      Parameters:
      newValue - the new value.
      Returns:
      boolean true for value has changed, false for same value as current value.
      Throws:
      PropTypeException - If the property is read-only.
      PropValidateException - When the constraints are not met.
    • validatePropType

      public final void validatePropType(Object newValue) throws PropTypeException
      Validates that the value to set is of ReferenceString instance.

      Note: When this method is called, synchronization is done at the property itself, so no synchronization on the tree should be done.

      Specified by:
      validatePropType in class GProp<ReferenceString>

    • validatePropValue

      public final void validatePropValue(Object newValue) throws PropException
      Validates the value to set. Subclasses can override this method to perform optional value validation. No validation is performed in this method.

      Note: When this method is called, synchronization is done at the property itself, so no synchronization on the tree should be done.

      Specified by:
      validatePropValue in interface IGProp<TARGET extends IPropCnr>
      Overrides:
      validatePropValue in class GProp<ReferenceString>

      Parameters:
      oldValue - The old value.
      newValue - The new value.

    • getValueClasses

      public final Class<?>[] getValueClasses()
