Constructor Detail

StringFieldTemplate

public StringFieldTemplate()

Creates a new string field template.

Method Detail

getField

public String getField()

Returns the field name.

Returns:

The field name.

setField

public void setField(String field)

Sets the field name.

Parameters:

field - the field name.

getFormula

public String getFormula()

Returns the formula used to compute the value of the data source.

Returns:

the formula.

setFormula

public void setFormula(String formula)

Defines the formula used to compute the value of this data source.

Parameters:

formula - the formula for the data source.

getNullValue

public String getNullValue()

Returns the value displayed by the field when the data source value is null.

Returns:

A value to represent null.

setNullValue

public void setNullValue(String nullValue)

Sets the value displayed by the field when the data source value is null.

Parameters:

nullValue - the value that represents null.

getValue

public Object getValue(ExpressionRuntime runtime,
                       ReportElement element)

Returns the current value for the data source.

Specified by:

getValue in interface DataSource

Parameters:

runtime - the expression runtime that is used to evaluate formulas and expressions when computing the value of this filter.

element -

Returns:

the value.

clone

public StringFieldTemplate clone()
                          throws CloneNotSupportedException

Clones the template.

Specified by:

clone in interface DataSource

Overrides:

clone in class AbstractTemplate

Returns:

the clone.

Throws:

CloneNotSupportedException - this should never happen.

getDataRowDataSource

protected DataRowDataSource getDataRowDataSource()

Returns the datarow data source used in this template.

Returns:

the datarow data source.

getRawValue

public Object getRawValue(ExpressionRuntime runtime,
                          ReportElement element)

Description copied from interface: RawDataSource

Returns the unformated raw value. Whether that raw value is useable for the export is beyond the scope of this API definition, but providing access to Number or Date objects is a good idea.

Specified by:

getRawValue in interface RawDataSource

Parameters:

runtime - the expression runtime that is used to evaluate formulas and expressions when computing the value of this filter.

Returns:

the raw data.

getFormatString

public FormatSpecification getFormatString(ExpressionRuntime runtime,
                                           ReportElement element,
                                           FormatSpecification formatSpecification)

Description copied from interface: RawDataSource

Returns information about the formatstring that was used to transform a raw-value into a formatted text. Not all elements will make use of a format-string. These elements will return .classic.core.filter.FormatSpecification#TYPE_UNDEFINED in that case.

Specified by:

getFormatString in interface RawDataSource

Parameters:

runtime - the Expression runtime used to possibly compute the raw-value.

element - the element to which this datasource is added.

formatSpecification - the format specification (can be null). @return a filled format specififcation. If the formatSpecification parameter was not null, this given instance is reused.
