Field Detail

coupler

public final STextual.Coupler coupler

Constructor Detail

STextual

public STextual(java.lang.String title,
                java.lang.String text,
                STextual.Coupler coupler)

Core constructor.

Parameters:

title - passed to superclass

text - passed to setText(String)

coupler - can supply application-specific mechanism and policy; must be non-null

STextual

public STextual(java.lang.String title,
                STextual.Coupler coupler)

Method Detail

setText

public void setText(java.lang.String text)

Sets the text value to be exposed.

Also calls STextual.Coupler.textSet(STextual) if not initialising.

Parameters:

text - must be non-null; and non-blank unless STextual.Coupler.isValidText(STextual, String) returns true.

text

public java.lang.String text()

The text value represented.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class TargetCore

newDebugChildren

protected TypedNode[] newDebugChildren()

Create a TypedNode[] representation of this Notifying for debug purposes.

Overrides:

newDebugChildren in class TargetCore

newDebugContentNode

protected static final TypedNode newDebugContentNode(java.lang.String title,
                                                     java.lang.Object source)

newDebugContentNode

protected static final TypedNode newDebugContentNode(java.lang.String title,
                                                     java.lang.Object[] source)

newDebugMonitorNode

protected static final TypedNode newDebugMonitorNode(Notifiable monitor)

newGraphNode

public final TypedNode newGraphNode()

Returns a descriptive node for use in debug object graph.

impact

public Notifying.Impact impact()

Description copied from interface: Notifying

Allows this Notifying to specify a default Notifying.Impact.

Specified by:

impact in interface Notifying

Returns:

typically Notifying.Impact.DEFAULT

identity

public java.lang.Object identity()

Description copied from interface: Identified

Return an object that is as far as possible unique for the implementation.

This will usually be a class instance counter.

Specified by:

identity in interface Identified

monitor

public final Notifiable monitor()

The current Notifiable in the notification tree, as set with setMonitor.

Complains if no parent has been set.

Specified by:

monitor in interface Notifying

notify

public void notify(Notice notice)

Description copied from interface: Notifiable

Respond to the Notice passed.

When this method is called, the Notifiable should respond based on

• its own nature and state
• the Notice passed.

Specified by:

notify in interface Notifiable

notifyMonitor

public final void notifyMonitor(Notifying.Impact impact)

Description copied from interface: Notifying

Call notify on the parent monitor in the notification tree, typically with itself as parameter to the Notice passed.

Has no effect if no monitor has been set.

This is the usual means to trigger a surface retargeting, being called by an exposing SFacet on its target.

Specified by:

notifyMonitor in interface Notifying

Parameters:

impact - suggests the level of retargeting required

blockNotification

protected boolean blockNotification()

Enables notification to be restricted to this member of the tree.

Checked by notify(Notice); default returns false.

setMonitor

public final void setMonitor(Notifiable monitor)

Description copied from interface: Notifying

Attach the Notifying to a Notifiable parent in the notification tree.

Specified by:

setMonitor in interface Notifying
