	DataChangeEntry(DataChangeEntry.DataChangeType change, java.lang.Object[] path, java.lang.String[] names, java.lang.Object[] insertPath)

Method Summary

static java.lang.Object	getAppendIdentifier() To be used by DataControls and Bindings to identify a particular slot as skipped in the keypath datastructure.
java.lang.String[]	getAttributeNames() Names of the attributes that were updated.
java.lang.Object	getAttributeValue(java.lang.String name) Value of the attribute by the given name, where the name exists in the array returned by getAttributeNames
DataChangeEntry.DataChangeType	getChangeType() Change entry type to indicate if this is an update, insert, remove or refresh event.
java.lang.Object	getFormattedAttributeValue(java.lang.String name) If the datamodel or binding has knowledge of the format in which specific attribute value is to be rendered, this method will return that else, it may return the attribute value as is.
java.lang.Object[]	getInsertKeyPath() In case of insert event type, this will return the path to data before or after which the new data object was inserted.
java.lang.Object[]	getKeyPath() This may be an array of objects if the entry is for the collection on which the event is raised or an array of array of objects (Object[][]) in case where this entry is an aggregated entry indicating changes in data for a nested collection.
static java.lang.Object	getSkipLevelIdentifier() To be used by DataControls and Bindings to identify a particular slot as skipped in the keypath datastructure.

Constructor Detail

DataChangeEntry

protected DataChangeEntry()

DataChangeEntry

public DataChangeEntry(DataChangeEntry.DataChangeType change,
                       java.lang.Object[] path,
                       java.lang.String[] names)

DataChangeEntry

public DataChangeEntry(DataChangeEntry.DataChangeType change,
                       java.lang.Object[] path,
                       java.lang.String[] names,
                       java.lang.Object[] insertPath)

Method Detail

init

protected void init(DataChangeEntry.DataChangeType change,
                    java.lang.Object[] path,
                    java.lang.String[] names,
                    java.lang.Object[] insertPath)

getChangeType

public DataChangeEntry.DataChangeType getChangeType()

Change entry type to indicate if this is an update, insert, remove or refresh event.

getKeyPath

public java.lang.Object[] getKeyPath()

This may be an array of objects if the entry is for the collection on which the event is raised or an array of array of objects (Object[][]) in case where this entry is an aggregated entry indicating changes in data for a nested collection. Each Object[] in this nested entry identifies a unique entry in the hierarchy of collections.

getInsertKeyPath

public java.lang.Object[] getInsertKeyPath()

In case of insert event type, this will return the path to data before or after which the new data object was inserted. If this entry is null, it means this is an entry for inserting a new data object at a particular level in the hierarchy. To get the master KeyPath, one may use the getKeyPath and remove the first entry in that key path to identify the master.

getAttributeNames

public java.lang.String[] getAttributeNames()

Names of the attributes that were updated.

getAttributeValue

public java.lang.Object getAttributeValue(java.lang.String name)

Value of the attribute by the given name, where the name exists in the array returned by getAttributeNames

Throws:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - if there are no data values in this change entry

getFormattedAttributeValue

public java.lang.Object getFormattedAttributeValue(java.lang.String name)

If the datamodel or binding has knowledge of the format in which specific attribute value is to be rendered, this method will return that else, it may return the attribute value as is. Default implementation will throw the UnSupportedOperationException from getAttributeValue.

Throws:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - if there are no data values in this change entry

getSkipLevelIdentifier

public static java.lang.Object getSkipLevelIdentifier()

To be used by DataControls and Bindings to identify a particular slot as skipped in the keypath datastructure.

getAppendIdentifier

public static java.lang.Object getAppendIdentifier()

To be used by DataControls and Bindings to identify a particular slot as skipped in the keypath datastructure.
