ObjectParameter (MadgikCommons 1.5.1-SNAPSHOT API)

java.lang.Object
- gr.uoa.di.madgik.commons.configuration.parameter.ObjectParameter

All Implemented Interfaces:: IParameter

public class ObjectParameter
extends Object
implements IParameter

Parameter of type IParameter.ParameterType.Object. An example of this instnace configuratino type is the following

 <param name="parameterKey" type="Object" generated="false" internal="false" shared="false">
  <class value="full.package.name.ClassName"/>
  <constructor>
   <arguments>
    <arg order="1" name="arg1" param="parameterKey1"/>
    <arg order="2" name="arg2" param="parameterKey2"/>
    <arg order="3" name="arg3" param="parameterKey3"/>
   </arguments>
  </constructor>
  <calls>
   <method order="1" name="method1">
    <arguments>
     <arg order="1" name="arg1" param="parameterKey4"/>
     <arg order="2" name="arg2" param="parameterKey5"/>
     <arg order="3" name="arg3" param="parameterKey6"/>
    </arguments>
    <output param="parameterKey7"/>
   </method>
   <method order="2" name="method2">
    <arguments>
     <arg order="1" name="arg1" param="parameterKey8"/>
     <arg order="2" name="arg2" param="parameterKey9"/>
     <arg order="3" name="arg3" param="parameterKey10"/>
    </arguments>
    <output param="parameterKey11"/>
   </method>
  </calls>
 </param>

If the IsShared() is set to false, the object needs also to implement the ICloneable interface in order to Clone the object and serve a disjoint reference everytime it is requested by a client.
