public class ConfigurableActionHandler
extends GenericHandler

This handler takes an array of ConfigurableActions as a property. As each event comes into the handler, the actions are performed on the event. With the proper setup, actions can be queued for later execution. Setting the 'queueActions' property to true will will put each incoming event into a QueuedAction along with the ConfigurableActions of this handler. These QueuedActions are then passed to the QueuedActionQueue set as the 'queue' property of this handler. The QueuedActionQueue later passes each QueuedAction to a single listener of the queue, a QueuedActionHandler. The QueuedActionHandler pulls out the actions and performs them on the original event.

A simple filtering of incoming events is done inside the doesEventQualify() method. Each incoming event is compared to the eventClass and eventType (if the event extends GenericEvent) properties. If they match up, the event is handled. If not, the event is ignored. The doesEventQualify() method can be overridden to follow a different policy.

Empty constructor.

Method Detail

setQueueActions

public void setQueueActions(boolean pValue)

Whether or not to queue event actions or do them immediately.

getQueueActions

public boolean getQueueActions()

Whether or not to queue event actions or do them immediately.

setActionQueue

public void setActionQueue(atg.service.event.QueuedActionListener pValue)

The event queue to pass actions into.

getActionQueue

public atg.service.event.QueuedActionListener getActionQueue()

The event queue to pass actions into.

setActions

public void setActions(atg.service.event.ConfigurableAction[] pValue)

The set of actions to perform on an event.

getActions

public atg.service.event.ConfigurableAction[] getActions()

The set of actions to perform on an event.

setEventClass

public void setEventClass(java.lang.Class pValue)

The event class that this handler should listen for.

getEventClass

public java.lang.Class getEventClass()

The event class that this handler should listen for.

setEventType

public void setEventType(int pValue)

The type of the event class that this handler should listen for.

getEventType

public int getEventType()

The type of the event class that this handler should listen for.

doesEventQualify

public boolean doesEventQualify(java.lang.Object pEvent)

Checks to see if the incoming object qualifies to be handled.

Currently, this class only takes in one event class and one event class type to qualify for handling. Properties can be added and this method can be overloaded so that an array of Classes and respective types can be be accepted for handling. That is left as an exercise for the reader.

Parameters:

pEvent - the event to check.

Returns:

boolean whether or not the event qualifies to be handled.

sendEvent

public void sendEvent(java.lang.Object pEvent)

Submits an event for handling.

Specified by:

sendEvent in interface EventChannelListener

Overrides:

sendEvent in class GenericHandler

Parameters:

pEvent - the event to send for handling.

doActions

protected void doActions(java.lang.Object pEvent)

Peforms the configured actions on the event now.

queueActions

protected void queueActions(java.lang.Object pEvent)

Queues the configured actions to be performed later.
