Class Children.Keys

java.lang.Object

All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable
Direct Known Subclasses:
BeanChildren, FilterNode.Children, Index.KeysChildren
Enclosing class:
Children
public abstract static class Children.Keys
extends Children.Array

Implements an array of child nodes associated nonuniquely with keys and sorted by these keys. There is a method that should for each key create an array of nodes that represents the key.

Typical usage:

  1. Subclass.
  2. Decide what type your key should be.
  3. Implement createNodes(java.lang.Object) to create some nodes (usually exactly one) per key.
  4. Override Children.addNotify() to compute a set of keys and set it using setKeys(Collection). The collection may be ordered.
  5. Override Children.removeNotify() to just call setKeys on Collections.EMPTY_SET.
  6. When your model changes, call setKeys with the new set of keys. Children.Keys will be smart and calculate exactly what it needs to do effficiently.
  7. (Optional) if your notion of what the node for a given key changes (but the key stays the same), you can call refreshKey(java.lang.Object). Usually this is not necessary.

Constructor Detail

Children.Keys

public Children.Keys()
Method Detail

clone

public Object clone()
Special handling for clonning.

Overrides:
clone in class Children.Array
Returns:
the cloned array for this children

add

public boolean add(Node[] arr)
Description copied from class: Children
Add nodes this container. The parent node of these nodes is changed to the parent node of this list. Each node can be added only once. If there is some reason a node cannot be added, for example if the node expects only a special type of subnodes, the method should do nothing and return false to signal that the addition has not been successful.

This method should be implemented by subclasses to filter some nodes, etc.

Overrides:
add in class Children.Array

remove

public boolean remove(Node[] arr)
Description copied from class: Children
Remove nodes from the list. Only nodes that are present are removed.

Overrides:
remove in class Children.Array

refreshKey

protected final void refreshKey(Object key)
Refresh the child nodes for a given key.

Parameters:
key - the key to refresh

setKeys

protected final void setKeys(Collection keysSet)
Set new keys for this children object. Setting of keys does not necessarily lead to the creation of nodes. It happens only when the list has already been initialized.

Parameters:
keysSet - the keys for the nodes (collection of any objects)

setKeys

protected final void setKeys(Object[] keys)
Set keys for this list.

Parameters:
keys - the keys for the nodes
See Also:
setKeys(Collection)

setBefore

protected final void setBefore(boolean b)
Set whether new nodes should be added to the beginning or end of sublists for a given key.

Parameters:
b - true if the children should be added before

createNodes

protected abstract Node[] createNodes(Object key)
Create nodes for a given key.

Parameters:
key - the key
Returns:
child nodes for this key or null if there should be no nodes for this key

destroyNodes

protected void destroyNodes(Node[] arr)
Called when the nodes have been removed from the children. This method should allow subclasses to clean the nodes somehow.

Current implementation notifies all listeners on the nodes that nodes have been deleted.

Parameters:
arr - array of deleted nodes
