Class ResourceParams

All Implemented Interfaces:

GCOwner, ConfigElement

public class ResourceParams
extends GCDefinitions

ResourceParams is an aggregation of GCValue objects. The difference between ResourceParams and its parent class GCDefinitions is that ResourceParams allows GCVs of type "password-ref". It also differs in that it is constructed from a definitions element that may come from an arbitrary location in a document

Methods are provided to parse an XML representation of Global Configuration Values and to serialize the contained collection of GCVs to an XML representation.

For user interface purposes the list of GCValue objects is ordered.

Constructor Detail

ResourceParams

public ResourceParams()

Construct an empty ShimParams object.

Method Detail

constructResourceParams

public static ResourceParams constructResourceParams(Element element)
                                              throws GCVException

Construct a ShimParams object and association GCValue objects from a DOM XML element containing the XML representation.

Typically, the DOM element would be the result of parsing the value of the DirXML-Data attribute of a DirXML-Resource object

Parameters:

element - The definitions element

Throws:

GCVException - thrown if XML is incorrect in any way.

toXml

public Element toXml(Node parent)
              throws GCVException

Create the DOM XML representation of this ShimParams object and associated GCValue objects in an existing document.

Parameters:

parent - the parent node for creating the definitions element

Returns:

DOM definitions element containing XML representation of GCVs.

Throws:

GCVException - thrown if XML creation fails because one or more GCVs is incomplete.

toXml

public Document toXml()
               throws GCVException

Return the DOM XML representation of this ShimParams object and associated GCValue objects.

Overrides:

toXml in class GCDefinitions

Returns:

DOM document containing XML representation of GCVs.

Throws:

GCVException - thrown if XML creation fails because one or more GCVs is incomplete.

_construct

protected static com.novell.nds.dirxml.engine.gcv.GCList _construct(Element element,
                                                                    com.novell.nds.dirxml.engine.gcv.GCList list)
                                                             throws GCVException

Populate a GCDefinitions object and association GCValue objects from a DOM XML element containing the XML representation.

Typically, the DOM element would be the result of parsing the value of the DirXML-ConfigValues attribute.

Parameters:

element - DOM element

definitions - the instance to populate.

Throws:

GCVException - thrown if XML is incorrect in any way.

hasBeenModified

public boolean hasBeenModified()

Return true if this instance has been modified.

The instance is considered to have been modified if a change was made that affects the persistent representation since:

1. The instance was constructed from an XML representation.
2. resetModified() was last called

Returns:

true or false

See Also:

resetModified(), #toXML(org.w3c.dom.Node)

resetModified

public void resetModified()

Reset the modified flag for this instance such that hasBeenModified() will return false.

See Also:

hasBeenModified()

getValue

public GCValue getValue(String name)

Get a GCValue object by name. This will do a deep search for the GCV, meaning it will look at all descendant GCVs.

Parameters:

name - the GCV name.

Returns:

GCValue object, or null if name not found.

getChildValue

public GCValue getChildValue(String name)

Get a GCValue object that is a direct child of this instance by name.

Returns:

GCValue object, or null if name not found.

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

Specified by:
