All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable, QDMData, QDMElement

public class QDMAbstract

extends QDMCoin

implements QDMElement, QDMData

Models an abstract element in QDML. An abstract element has no tag attribute, since it doesn't define a particular XML element. (Similarly, an abstract Java class can't be instantiated.) Abstract coins provide a means of refering to the family of beans which implement them. Abstract coins also provide for inheritance of attributes, enums, and ranges by the coins which extend them.

DTD:

<!ELEMENT abstract (rem*, extends?, implements*, attributes, (enum|range)*)>

<!ATTLIST abstract 
    label CDATA #REQUIRED
    generate CDATA "True"
    validInherited CDATA "True"
    ID id #IMPLIED
>

Field Detail

validInherited

public boolean validInherited

Models the validInherited attribute on an abstract element. When false, enums and ranges are not inherited from the coin that this abstract coin extends.

extendor

public QDMExtends extendor

Models an extends element, which is optional. An abstract coin can extend a bean coin, a text coin, or another abstract coin, which is named by the extends element.

implementsList

public ArrayList implementsList

A container for QMImplements objects, which model implements elements. The implements elements are optional and repeating. These implements elements name the interface coins which this abstract coin "implements". (An abstract element, like an abstract Java class, can impliment any number of interfaces.)

attributes

public QDMAttributes attributes

Models an attributes element, which is optional. The attributes element defines the attributes associated with this coin, as well as various related variables and property methods on the abstract Java class used to model those attributes.

fieldList

public ArrayList fieldList

A container for QMField objects, which model field elements. The field elements are optional and repeating. These field elements describe the variables of the abstract Java class which this abstract element describes.

propertyList

public ArrayList propertyList

A container for QMProperty objects, which model property elements. The property elements are optional and repeating. These property elements describe the bean property methods of the abstract Java class which this abstract element describes.

validList

public ArrayList validList

A container for QMEnum and QMRange objects, which model enum and range elements. The enum and range elements are optional and repeating. These valid elements are used to describe some of the acceptable text content of text coins which extend this abstract coin.

The enum and range elements may not be present when the targetClass is present in the same abstract element.

extendsCoin

public transient QDMCoin extendsCoin

The QMAbstract, QMText, or QMBean object named by the extends element. This variable is set when the data model is initialized.

valids

public transient ArrayList valids

A container for QMEnum and QMRange objects for this element, including enum and range elements defined on abstract and text coins which this abstract coin extends. This list is populated when the data model is initialized.
