 org.osbl.agent.gui.OperationController
All known Subclasses: org.osbl.agent.gui.ConditionController, org.osbl.agent.gui.ActionController,
| OperationController | | abstract public class OperationController (Code) | | An OperationController provides the UI components to manipulate Conditions or Actions.
It also knows if another given OperationController can pose as a replacement
to itself.
This class provides a factory method to instantiate the corresponding
Condition or Action for a given Condition- or ActionController.

| Method Summary | |
| abstract public boolean | canBeReplacedBy(OperationController candidateController)
Returns true if the candidateController can replace this
controller.
OperationController can replace one another if they perform the same function
regardless of its internal state.
Parameters:
candidateController - the candidate controller that might, or not, serve as a replacement for this one. | | final public List<SComponent> | getComponents()
Returns the UI components that represent the corresponding model class. | | protected String | msg(String code, Object... args)
Convenience method to retrieve localized Strings.
Parameters:
code - the String-code.
Parameters:
args - optional additional arguments. | | protected static OperationController | newInstance(Object conditionOrAction, String packagePrefix)
For a given Condition or Action instance, it instantiates the corresponding
Condition- or ActionController.
Parameters:
conditionOrAction - a Condition or Action instance.
Parameters:
packagePrefix - the prefix of the package where the correspoding OperationController can be found. | | protected Object | newOperationInstance()
Tries to retrieve an instance of the model class that corresponds to this
OperationController. | | abstract protected void | populateComponentList(List<SComponent> componentList)
Populates the component list with the components corresponding to the current
Condition or ActionController. |
| canBeReplacedBy | | abstract public boolean canBeReplacedBy(OperationController candidateController)(Code) | | Returns true if the candidateController can replace this
controller.
OperationController can replace one another if they perform the same function
regardless of its internal state.
Parameters:
candidateController - the candidate controller that might, or not, serve as a replacement for this one. true, if can be replaced by the candidate controller. |
| getComponents | | final public List<SComponent> getComponents()(Code) | | Returns the UI components that represent the corresponding model class.
They let the user manipulate the Condition- or ActionController in a visual way.
Note that subclasses should not override this method but
OperationController.populateComponentList(List) .
a list of UI components. |
| msg | | protected String msg(String code, Object... args)(Code) | | Convenience method to retrieve localized Strings.
Parameters:
code - the String-code.
Parameters:
args - optional additional arguments. the localized String |
| newOperationInstance | | protected Object newOperationInstance()(Code) | | Tries to retrieve an instance of the model class that corresponds to this
OperationController. So, for example, if called on a ConditionController
it tries to instantiate the corresponding Condition. It performs the opposite
operation that
OperationController.newInstance(Object,String) does.
the corresponding Condition or Action instance, or null if not successfull. |
| populateComponentList | | abstract protected void populateComponentList(List<SComponent> componentList)(Code) | | Populates the component list with the components corresponding to the current
Condition or ActionController.
Parameters:
componentList - the component list to be populated. |
