Class GenericRecordDefinition

java.lang.Object

gr.uoa.di.madgik.grs.record.RecordDefinition

gr.uoa.di.madgik.grs.record.GenericRecordDefinition

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class GenericRecordDefinition
extends RecordDefinition
implements Serializable

This RecordDefinition extending class acts as a generic placeholder for record definitions. It does not add much in the general definition provided by the RecordDefinition super class, other than supplying a readily available, non abstract implementation

Method Detail

copyFrom

public void copyFrom(GenericRecordDefinition other)
              throws GRS2RecordSerializationException

Throws:

GRS2RecordSerializationException

extendEquals

public boolean extendEquals(Object obj)

Method that needs to be implemented by the RecordDefinition extenders to extend the equality logic based on additional logic contained in the implementations

This method simply checks for type equality and does not base its decision an any other elements

Specified by:

extendEquals in class RecordDefinition

Parameters:

obj - the object to check equality for

Returns:

true if the two instances are equal, false otherwise

See Also:

RecordDefinition.extendEquals(java.lang.Object)

extendDeflate

public void extendDeflate(DataOutput out)
                   throws GRS2RecordSerializationException

Method that needs to be implemented by the RecordDefinition extenders to deflate any additional information kept

nothing to add to deflate

Specified by:

extendDeflate in class RecordDefinition

Parameters:

out - the stream to deflate to

Throws:

GRS2RecordSerializationException - there was a serialization error

See Also:

RecordDefinition.extendDeflate(java.io.DataOutput)

extendInflate

public void extendInflate(DataInput in)
                   throws GRS2RecordSerializationException

Method that needs to be implemented by the RecordDefinition extenders to inflate any additional information previously deflated by the respective extender method

nothing to get from inflate

Specified by:

extendInflate in class RecordDefinition

Parameters:

in - the stream to inflate from

Throws:

GRS2RecordSerializationException - there was a problem deserializing the definition state

See Also:

RecordDefinition.extendInflate(java.io.DataInput)

extendFromXML

public void extendFromXML(Element element)
                   throws GRS2RecordSerializationException

Specified by:

extendFromXML in class RecordDefinition

Throws:

GRS2RecordSerializationException

extendToXML

public void extendToXML(Element element)
                 throws GRS2RecordSerializationException

Specified by:

extendToXML in class RecordDefinition

Throws:

GRS2RecordSerializationException
