Interface MutableModel

All Superinterfaces:

Model

public interface MutableModel
extends Model

Extension of Model that allows changing the underlying configuration data from which the Model is created.

A Model and child classes which implement this interface and child interfaces will generally be based on MutableConfig and mutable child interfaces, although this is not strictly required since only NodeConfigTransferObject is actually exposed through these interfaces. The reason for not exposing the underlying MutableConfig and mutable child interfaces is that changes to the MutableConfig and child interfaces cannot be done without the MutableModel knowing about it since an active MutableModel can contain many dynamically instantiated objects (e.g., plugins) whose configuration depend on the MutableConfig, and if it changes, the MutableModel must make appropriate adjustments, such as clearing various caches to force the recreation of the dynamically instantiated objects.

Runtime change events may eventually be supported so that the MutableModel can adjust to configuration changes at runtime.

Method Detail

createMutableClassificationNodeRoot

MutableClassificationNode createMutableClassificationNodeRoot()

Creates a new uninitialized root MutableClassificationNode.

Creation is finalized and visible only once MutableNode.setNodeConfigTransferObject(org.azyva.dragom.model.config.NodeConfigTransferObject, org.azyva.dragom.model.config.OptimisticLockHandle) is called, replacing any root MutableClassificationNode that may already be set.

Returns:

Root MutableClassificationNodeConfig.
