Constructor Detail

InstanceCollectionSpecification

public InstanceCollectionSpecification(SpecificationLoader specificationLoader,
                                       RuntimeContext runtimeContext)

Method Detail

markAsService

public void markAsService()

introspect

public void introspect(FacetDecoratorSet decorator)

Description copied from interface: IntrospectableSpecification

Discovers what attributes and behaviour the type specified by this specification.

As specifications are cyclic (specifically a class will reference its subclasses, which in turn reference their superclass) they need be created first, and then later work out its internals. This allows for cyclic references to the be accommodated as there should always a specification available even though it might not be complete.

getAssociation

public NakedObjectAssociation getAssociation(java.lang.String name)

Description copied from interface: NakedObjectAssociationContainer

Get the field object representing the field with the specified field identifier.

getServiceActionsFor

public NakedObjectAction[] getServiceActionsFor(NakedObjectActionType type)

Description copied from interface: NakedObjectActionContainer

TODO: convert to relatedResourceActions

Specified by:

getServiceActionsFor in interface NakedObjectActionContainer

Overrides:

getServiceActionsFor in class IntrospectableSpecificationAbstract

getObjectActions

public NakedObjectAction[] getObjectActions(NakedObjectActionType... type)

Description copied from interface: NakedObjectActionContainer

Returns an array of actions of the specified type(s).

If the type is null, then returns all user, exploration and debug actions (but not action sets).

Specified by:

getObjectActions in interface NakedObjectActionContainer

Overrides:

getObjectActions in class IntrospectableSpecificationAbstract

getObjectAction

public NakedObjectAction getObjectAction(NakedObjectActionType type,
                                         java.lang.String id,
                                         NakedObjectSpecification[] parameters)

Description copied from interface: NakedObjectActionContainer

Returns the action of the specified type with the specified signature.

getObjectAction

public NakedObjectAction getObjectAction(NakedObjectActionType type,
                                         java.lang.String id)

Description copied from interface: NakedObjectActionContainer

Get the action object represented by the specified identity string.

The identity string should be Identifier.toNameParmsIdentityString().

getSingularName

public java.lang.String getSingularName()

Description copied from interface: NakedObjectSpecification

Returns the singular name for objects of this specification.

getPluralName

public java.lang.String getPluralName()

Description copied from interface: NakedObjectSpecification

Returns the plural name for objects of this specification.

getShortName

public java.lang.String getShortName()

Description copied from interface: NakedObjectSpecification

Returns the class name without the package. Removes the text up to, and including the last period (".").

getTitle

public java.lang.String getTitle(NakedObject object)

Description copied from interface: NakedObjectSpecification

Returns the title string for the specified object.

getIconName

public java.lang.String getIconName(NakedObject object)

Description copied from interface: NakedObjectSpecification

Returns the name of an icon to use for the specified object.

Specified by:

getIconName in interface NakedObjectSpecification

Overrides:

getIconName in class IntrospectableSpecificationAbstract

getDescription

public java.lang.String getDescription()

Description copied from interface: NakedObjectSpecification

Returns the description, if any, of the specification.

isCollectionOrIsAggregated

public boolean isCollectionOrIsAggregated()

Description copied from interface: NakedObjectSpecification

Whether objects of this type are a collection or are intrinsically aggregated.

In effect, means has got a CollectionFacet and/or got the AggregatedFacet.

Specified by:
