Constructor Detail

ElementStyleSheetObjectDescription

public ElementStyleSheetObjectDescription()

Method Detail

configure

public void configure(org.pentaho.reporting.libraries.base.config.Configuration config)

Configures this factory. The configuration contains several keys and their defined values. The given reference to the configuration object will remain valid until the report parsing or writing ends.

The configuration contents may change during the reporting.

Specified by:

configure in interface ObjectDescription

Parameters:

config - the configuration, never null

init

public void init(org.pentaho.reporting.libraries.xmlns.parser.RootXmlReadHandler rootHandler,
                 ElementStyleSheet styleSheet)

createObject

public Object createObject()

Creates an object based on the description.

Specified by:

createObject in interface ObjectDescription

Returns:

The object.

getInstance

public ObjectDescription getInstance()

Returns a cloned instance of the object description. The contents of the parameter objects collection are cloned too, so that any already defined parameter value is copied to the new instance.

Parameter definitions are not cloned, as they are considered read-only.

Specified by:

getInstance in interface ObjectDescription

Returns:

A cloned instance.

getObjectClass

public Class getObjectClass()

Returns the object class.

Specified by:

getObjectClass in interface ObjectDescription

Returns:

The Class.

getParameter

public Object getParameter(String name)

Returns the value of a parameter.

Specified by:

getParameter in interface ObjectDescription

Parameters:

name - the parameter name.

Returns:

The value.

getParameterDefinition

public Class getParameterDefinition(String name)

Returns a parameter definition. If the parameter is invalid, this function returns null.

Specified by:

getParameterDefinition in interface ObjectDescription

Parameters:

name - the definition name.

Returns:

The parameter class or null, if the parameter is not defined.

getParameterNames

public Iterator getParameterNames()

Returns an iterator the provides access to the parameter names. This returns all _known_ parameter names, the object description may accept additional parameters.

Specified by:

getParameterNames in interface ObjectDescription

Returns:

The iterator.

getUnconfiguredInstance

public ObjectDescription getUnconfiguredInstance()

Returns a cloned instance of the object description. The contents of the parameter objects collection are cloned too, so that any already defined parameter value is copied to the new instance.

Parameter definitions are not cloned, as they are considered read-only.

The newly instantiated object description is not configured. If it need to be configured, then you have to call configure on it.

Specified by:

getUnconfiguredInstance in interface ObjectDescription

Returns:

A cloned instance.

setParameter

public void setParameter(String name,
                         Object value)

Sets the value of a parameter.

Specified by:

setParameter in interface ObjectDescription

Parameters:

name - the parameter name.

value - the parameter value.

setParameterFromObject

public void setParameterFromObject(Object o)
                            throws ObjectFactoryException

Sets the parameters of this description object to match the supplied object.

Specified by:

setParameterFromObject in interface ObjectDescription

Parameters:

o - the object.

Throws:

ObjectFactoryException - if there is a problem while reading the properties of the given object.
