Interface ClassFactory

    • Method Detail

      • getDescriptionForClass

        ObjectDescription getDescriptionForClass​(Class c)
        Returns an object description for a class.
        Parameters:
        c - the class.
        Returns:
        The object description.

      • getSuperClassObjectDescription

        ObjectDescription getSuperClassObjectDescription​(Class d,
                                                 ObjectDescription knownSuperClass)
        Returns an object description for the super class of a class.
        Parameters:
        d - the class.
        knownSuperClass - the last known super class or null.
        Returns:
        The object description.

      • getRegisteredClasses

        Iterator getRegisteredClasses()
        Returns an iterator for the registered classes. This returns a list of pre-registered classes known to this ClassFactory. A class may be able to handle more than the registered classes.

        This method exists to support query tools for UI design, do not rely on it for day to day work.

        Returns:
        The iterator.

      • configure

        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.

        Parameters:
        config - the configuration, never null

      • equals

        boolean equals​(Object o)
        Compares whether two object factories are equal. This method must be implemented!
        Overrides:
        equals in class Object
        Parameters:
        o - the other object.
        Returns:
        true, if both object factories describe the same objects, false otherwise.

      • hashCode

        int hashCode()
        Computes the hashCode for this ClassFactory. As equals() must be implemented, a corresponding hashCode() should be implemented as well.
        Overrides:
        hashCode in class Object
        Returns:
        the hashcode.
