Constructor Detail

HashType

public HashType(java.lang.String source,
                SourceRange sourceRange,
                BaseType baseType,
                Range range)

Constructor for HashType takes another BaseType as the type of the hash. The method does not check for circular references. Be careful not to create them.

Parameters:

source - source where this type is defined

sourceRange - location in source where type is defined

baseType - reference to the base type of this hash

range - Range associated with this hash

Method Detail

findDefault

public Element findDefault(Context context)

Description copied from class: Type

This method returns the default value for the type or null if no default value exists. While only FullType objects can directly have a default value, these can be referenced by other types like AliasType and RecordType.

Specified by:

findDefault in class Type

Parameters:

context - the context may be needed by a complex type to look up other type definitions

Returns:

default value or null if one doesn't exist

setDefaults

public Element setDefaults(Context context,
                           Element self)
                    throws EvaluationException

Description copied from class: Type

This method will recursively set the default values on the given element. Note that self cannot be null. If the current element is null, then use the findDefault() method to retrieve the default value, set it, and then call this method to descend into referenced type definitions. This method will return a replacement element if necessary. This may be the case self was protected and default values had to be added. This method will return null if no replacement was necessary. It is the caller's responsibility to make the appropriate update to the parent element.

Specified by:

setDefaults in class Type

Returns:

replacement element or null if no replacement is necessary

Throws:

EvaluationException

validate

public void validate(Context context,
                     Element self)
              throws ValidationException

Description copied from class: Type

This method will run this type's validation against the given element. The method may not modify either argument.

Specified by:

validate in class Type

Parameters:

context - ObjectContext for running the validation

self - Element to validate

Throws:

ValidationException

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Type
