public abstract class ValueListFacade

extends java.lang.Object

The ValueList facade provides a simple interface to values that correspond to composite syntaxes.

Instead of finding a specific value component by enumerating each component of the ValueList or through the value component's index, the facades provide methods to extract and set specific value components directly to and from the value list.

If a new SyntaxListStrategy is added, this class must be extended by a corresponding new facade.

replaceStringValue

protected final void replaceStringValue(java.lang.String str,
                                        int index)
                                 throws java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

Helper method that encapsulates the procedure for replacing a specific value in a ValueList with a new component created from a string.

Parameters:

str - The String used to construct the new Value.

index - The index of the ValueComponent to replace.

Returns:

True if valueComponent was replaced, otherwise false.

Throws:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - index is not in the value list.

replaceLongValue

Helper method that encapsulates the procedure for replacing a specific value in a ValueList with a new component created from a long.

Parameters:

value - The long used to construct the new value.

index - The index of the ValueComponent to replace.

Throws:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - index is not in the value list.

replaceHexValue

protected final void replaceHexValue(byte[] value,
                                     int index)
                              throws java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

Helper method that encapsulates the procedure for replacing a specific value in a ValueList with a new component created from a byte[].

Parameters:

value - The byte[] used to construct the new value.

index - The index of the ValueComponent to replace.

Throws:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - index is not in the value list.

replaceBooleanValue

protected final void replaceBooleanValue(boolean value,
                                         int index)
