  com.novell.nds.dirxml.engine.gcv.GCValue
      com.novell.nds.dirxml.engine.gcv.GCParent

All Implemented Interfaces:

ConfigElement

Direct Known Subclasses:

GCGroup, GCSubordinates

public class GCParent

extends GCValue

Base class for GCGroup and GCSubordinates classes. Manages child values.

Although groups and subordinates are not actual GCVs, the objects are represented programmatically as GCValues for ease of manipulation via the GCDefinitions class.

Constructor Detail

GCParent

protected GCParent(int type,
                   GCDefinitions owner)
            throws GCVArgumentException

Constructor for use by GCValue construct() method.

Parameters:

type - int value of derived class

Throws:

GCVArgumentException - thrown if name is invalid

GCParent

protected GCParent(int type,
                   Element definition,
                   GCDefinitions owner)
            throws GCVException

Constructor for use by GCValue.construct() method.

Parameters:

type - int value of derived class

definition - <group> or <subordinates> element defining data.

owner - GCDefinitions instance that owns the GCParent. Must not be null.

Throws:

GCVException - thrown if XML is not complete or correct.

Method Detail

getOwner

public GCDefinitions getOwner()

Return the GCDefinitions instance that owns this instance.

Returns:

owner

appendValue

public void appendValue(GCValue value)
                 throws GCVArgumentException

Add a GCV to the end of the current list of GCVs.

Parameters:

value - GCValue object to add.

Throws:

GCVArgumentException - thrown if value has the same name as a GCV already in the list.

insertValue

public void insertValue(GCValue newValue,
                        String insertionPoint)
                 throws GCVArgumentException

Insert a GCV into the current list of GCVs.

Parameters:

newValue - GCValue object to add.

insertionPoint - name of GCV in front of which newValue is to be inserted.

Throws:

GCVArgumentException - thrown if insertionPoint doesn't match the name of any GCV in the list, or if the name of newValue matches the name of a GCV already in the list.

insertValue

public void insertValue(GCValue newValue,
                        GCValue insertionPoint)
                 throws GCVArgumentException

Insert a GCV into the current list of GCVs.

Parameters:

newValue - GCValue object to add.

insertionPoint - GCV in front of which newValue is to be inserted.

Throws:

GCVArgumentException - thrown if insertionPoint doesn't appear in the list, or if the name of newValue matches the name of a GCV already in the list.

removeValue

public boolean removeValue(String name)

Remove a GCV from the list of GCVs.

Parameters:

name - name of GCV to remove.

Returns:

true if name was found and removed, false otherwise.

removeValue

public boolean removeValue(GCValue value)

Remove a GCV from the list of GCVs.

Parameters:

value - the GCV to remove.

Returns:

true if the GCV was found and removed, false otherwise.

iterator

public Iterator iterator()

Return an Iterator instance that can be used to iterate through all descendant GCVs. This iterator will return all descendant GCVs that are real GCVs (not Group or Subordinates).

The Iterator's next() method returns GCValue instances.

Returns:

an Iterator instance.

See Also:

shallowIterator()

shallowIterator

public Iterator shallowIterator()

Return an Iterator instance that can be used to iterate through the list of GCVs. The iterator returned will iterate through only GCValues that are direct children of this instance.

The Iterator's next() method returns GCValue instances.

Returns:

an Iterator instance.

See Also:

iterator()

parseValue

public void parseValue(String value)
                throws GCVException

Parse the passed value based on the type lexical rules for "password-ref" GCVs.

The passed value must match the production described in the description of this class.

Specified by:

parseValue in class GCValue

Parameters:

value - Value String to parse

Throws:

GCVException - thrown if value does not match "password-ref" constraints.

getValue

public String getValue()

Return the current value of this instance.

Specified by:

getValue in class GCValue

Returns:

String containing current value of this instance.

setValue

public void setValue(String value)
              throws GCVException

Set the value for this instance.

The passed value must conform to the rules noted under parseValue().

Specified by:

setValue in class GCValue

Parameters:

value - Value String for this instance.

Throws:

GCVException - thrown if value is doesn't not parse correctly.
