| Method Summary |
|
| public void | addLeaf(Leaf vLeaf)
Accessor: Adds a Leaf value to the list of values gathered
as the content of a Scalar.
Parameters:
vLeaf - is the value to append to the list. |
| public void | addLeaf(int index, Leaf vLeaf)
Accessor: Inserts a Leaf value into a specific position
of the list of gathered values.
Parameters:
index - is the position to insert the item into
Parameters:
vLeaf - is the value to append to the list. |
| public Object | clone()
Creates and returns a copy of this object. |
| public boolean | containsLFN(String filename, int linkage)
Determines if the scalar contains an LFN of the specified linkage.
The logic uses short-circuit evaluation, thus finding things is
faster than not finding things. |
| public Enumeration | enumerateLeaf()
Accessor: Enumerates the internal values that constitute the content
of the Scalar element. |
| public java.util.List | getAllLFN(int linkage)
Determines all LFN instances of a given scalar that match the
specified linkage. |
| public int | getContainerType()
Accessor: Obtains the value type of this class. |
| public java.util.List | getLFNList(int linkage)
Determines all LFN instances of a given scalar that match the
specified linkage. |
| public Leaf | getLeaf(int index)
Accessor: Obtains the Leaf at a certain position in the
list of leaf values. |
| public Leaf[] | getLeaf()
Accessor: Gets an array of all values that constitute the current
content. |
| public int | getLeafCount()
Accessor: Obtains the size of the internal list of
Leaf s. |
| public java.util.List | getLeafList()
Accessor: Gets an array of all values that constitute the current
content. |
| public String | getSymbolicType()
This method determines which container is being used in the abstract
base class in order to kludgy statements when printing debug info. |
| public Iterator | iterateLeaf()
Accessor: Enumerates the internal values that constitute the content
of the Scalar element. |
| public ListIterator | listIterateLeaf()
Accessor: Enumerates the internal values that constitute the content
of the Scalar element. |
| public ListIterator | listIterateLeaf(int start)
Accessor: Enumerates the internal values that constitute the content
of the Scalar element. |
| public void | removeAllLeaf()
Accessor: Removes the content of the Scalar. |
| public Leaf | removeLeaf(int index)
Accessor: Remove a single item from the list of nodes. |
| public void | setLeaf(int index, Leaf vLeaf)
Accessor: Overwrites a LFN or Text value
at a certain position in the content-constituting list. |
| public void | setLeaf(Leaf[] leafArray)
Accessor: Overwrites internal list with an external list representing
a Scalar value. |
| public void | setLeaf(Collection leaves)
Accessor: Overwrites internal list with an external list representing
a Scalar value. |
| public String | toString()
Converts the object state into textual format for human consumption. |
| public void | toString(Writer stream)
Converts the object state into textual format for human consumption.
Parameters:
stream - is a stream opened and ready for writing. |
| public void | toXML(Writer stream, String indent, String namespace)
Dump the state of the current element as XML output. |
