InstanceDataObject (NetBeans Loaders API) - NetBeans API Javadoc 5.0.0

 

org.openide.loaders
Class InstanceDataObject

java.lang.Object
  extended byorg.openide.loaders.DataObject
      extended byorg.openide.loaders.MultiDataObject
          extended byorg.openide.loaders.InstanceDataObject
All Implemented Interfaces:
HelpCtx.Provider, InstanceCookie, InstanceCookie.Of, Node.Cookie, Serializable

public class InstanceDataObject
extends MultiDataObject
implements InstanceCookie.Of

A data object whose only purpose is to supply InstanceCookie. The instances are created by default instantiation; the name of the class to instantiate is stored on disk, typically right in the file name.

This data object is generally used to configure menus and toolbars, though it could be used in any situation requiring instances to be present in a folder; for example, anything using FolderInstance.

Typical instance classes are subclasses of SystemAction to make menu items or toolbar buttons; JSeparator for a menu separator; or JToolBar.Separator for a toolbar separator.

Use create(org.openide.loaders.DataFolder, java.lang.String, java.lang.String) and remove(org.openide.loaders.DataFolder, java.lang.String, java.lang.String) to make the objects. Better yet, use an XML filesystem to install them declaratively.

Instance data object by default recognizes all files with .instance suffix. Such file can have associated optional file attributes:

instanceCreate
instantionalized Object (e.g. created by methodvalue at XML filesystem)
instanceOf
String that is tokenized at ':', ',', ';' and whitespace boundaries. Resulting tokens represent class names that created instance is instanceof. Utilizing it may improve performance.
(optional file attributes documented since 3.34).

Specified by:
instanceOf in interface InstanceCookie.Of
Parameters:
type - the type to create
Returns:
true or false

instanceCreate

getName

public String getName()
Description copied from class: DataObject
Get the name of the data object.

The default implementation uses the name of the primary file.

Overrides:
getName in class DataObject
Returns:
the name

handleRename

protected FileObject handleRename(String name)
                           throws IOException
Description copied from class: DataObject
Rename this object (implemented in subclasses).

Overrides:
handleRename in class MultiDataObject
Throws:
IOException

handleCreateFromTemplate

protected DataObject handleCreateFromTemplate(DataFolder df,
                                              String name)
                                       throws IOException
Description copied from class: DataObject
Create a new data object from template (implemented in subclasses). This method should copy the content of the template to the destination folder and assign a new name to the new object.

Overrides:

IOException

handleCopy

protected DataObject handleCopy(DataFolder df)

Allows subclasses to discard the object. When an object is discarded, it is released from the list of objects registered in the system. Then the contents of the parent folder (if it still exists) are rescanned, which may result in the creation of a new data object for the primary file.

The normal use of this method is to change the type of a data object. Because this would usually only be invoked from the original data object, it is protected.

Overrides:
dispose in class DataObject

handleDelete

protected void handleDelete()
                     throws IOException
Description copied from class: DataObject
Delete this object (implemented by subclasses).

Overrides:
handleDelete in class MultiDataObject
Throws:
IOException
