An abstract implementation of UndoableEdit, implementing simple responses to all boolean methods in that interface.

Constructor Summary
AbstractUndoableEdit ()           Creates an AbstractUndoableEdit which defaults hasBeenDone and alive to true.

UndoName

protected static final String UndoName

String returned by getUndoPresentationName; as of Java 2 platform v1.3.1 this field is no longer used. This value is now localized and comes from the defaults table with key AbstractUndoableEdit.undoText.

AbstractUndoableEdit

public AbstractUndoableEdit()

Creates an AbstractUndoableEdit which defaults hasBeenDone and alive to true.

die

public void die()

Sets alive to false. Note that this is a one way operation; dead edits cannot be resurrected. Sending undo or redo to a dead edit results in an exception being thrown.

Typically an edit is killed when it is consolidated by another edit's addEdit or replaceEdit method, or when it is dequeued from an UndoManager.

Specified by:

die in interface UndoableEdit

CompoundEdit.die()

undo

public void undo()
          throws CannotUndoException

Throws CannotUndoException if canUndo returns false. Sets hasBeenDone to false. Subclasses should override to undo the operation represented by this edit. Override should begin with a call to super.

Specified by:

undo in interface UndoableEdit

Throws:

CannotUndoException - if canUndo returns false

See Also:

canUndo()

canUndo

public boolean canUndo()

Returns true if this edit is alive and hasBeenDone is true.

Specified by:

canUndo in interface UndoableEdit

Returns:

true if this edit is alive and hasBeenDone is true

redo

public void redo()
          throws CannotRedoException

Throws CannotRedoException if canRedo returns false. Sets hasBeenDone to true. Subclasses should override to redo the operation represented by this edit. Override should begin with a call to super.

getPresentationName

public String getPresentationName()

This default implementation returns "". Used by getUndoPresentationName and getRedoPresentationName to construct the strings they return. Subclasses should override to return an appropriate description of the operation this edit represents.

Specified by:

getPresentationName in interface UndoableEdit

Returns:

the empty string ""

getUndoPresentationName() , getRedoPresentationName()

getUndoPresentationName

public String getUndoPresentationName()

Retreives the value from the defaults table with key AbstractUndoableEdit.undoText and returns that value followed by a space, followed by getPresentationName. If getPresentationName returns "", then the defaults value is returned alone.

Specified by:

getUndoPresentationName in interface UndoableEdit

Returns:

the value from the defaults table with key AbstractUndoableEdit.undoText, followed by a space, followed by getPresentationName unless getPresentationName is "" in which case, the defaults value is returned alone.
