oracle.dss.rules.discriminator
Class QDRDiscriminator

java.lang.Object
oracle.dss.rules.discriminator.QDRDiscriminator

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, Discriminator, DiscriminatorState, DiscriminatorXML

public class QDRDiscriminator

extends java.lang.Object

implements DiscriminatorXML, DiscriminatorState

Discriminator for a rule that applies based on one or more dimension members. For example, you could use this Discriminator to specify that a DiscriminatorRule should apply to any crosstab cell that displays a value for boots, in New York, in December 1999. The item will be formatted, then, regardless of where the data appears in the crosstab.

This Discriminator compares an internal QDR class to a QDR class that is in the RuleContext that describes the item to be painted.

Constructor Detail

QDRDiscriminator

public QDRDiscriminator()

Constructor that does not specify a QDR or an operator for comparison. If you use this constructor, call the setQDR method to specify a QDR for this Discriminator. Call the setSetOperator to specify an operator.

QDRDiscriminator

public QDRDiscriminator(QDR qdr,
                        int setOp)

Constructor that specifies a QDR and an operator for comparison.

Parameters:

qdr - The QDR that identifies the dimension members for which a DataView item must display data in order for this QDRDiscriminator to apply.

setOp - The operator that describes the required relationship between the two QDR objects (such as SUBSET or SUPERSET).

Method Detail

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Clones this QDRDiscriminator.

Specified by:

clone in interface Discriminator

Overrides:

clone in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

The clone of this QDRDiscriminator.

setQDR

public void setQDR(QDR qdr)

Specifes the QDR object for this QDRDiscriminator.

Parameters:

qdr - The QDR that identifies the dimension members for which a DataView item must display data in order for this QDRDiscriminator to apply.

getQDR

public QDR getQDR()

Retrieves the QDR of this QDRDiscriminator.

Returns:

The QDR that identifies the dimension members for which a DataView item must display data in order for this QDRDiscriminator to apply.

setSetOperator

public void setSetOperator(int setOp)

Specifies the comparison operator for this QDRDiscriminator.

Parameters:

setOp - A constant for the operator that describes the required relationship between the two QDR objects (such as SUBSET or SUPERSET). Valid constants are listed in the See Also section.

See Also:

EQUALS, SUBSET, PROPER_SUBSET, SUPERSET, PROPER_SUPERSET

getSetOperator

public int getSetOperator()

Retrieves the comparison operator of this QDRDiscriminator.

Returns:

The operator that describes the required relationship between the two QDR objects (such as SUBSET or SUPERSET).

See Also:

EQUALS, SUBSET, PROPER_SUBSET, SUPERSET, PROPER_SUPERSET

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

applies

public boolean applies(RuleContext context)

Specifies whether the data reference from the specified RuleContext meets the conditions set in this QDRDiscriminator. This method compares QDR objects. For example, in a rule that displays all values for December 1999 in bold type, the QDR for the QDRDiscriminator would limit the Month dimension to December 1999, and the operator for would be SUPERSET. For a crosstab cell that displays a value for shoes, in New York, in December 1999, the QDR in the RuleContext would limit Product to shoes, Geography to New York, and Month to December 1999. The QDR for the QDRDiscriminator would refer to superset of the data that is specified in the QDR from the RuleContext, so this method would return true.

Specified by:

applies in interface Discriminator

Parameters:

context - The context of the item to be painted.

Returns:

true if the QDR of the specified RuleContext has the required relationship to the QDR for this QDRDiscriminator, false if not.

setContext

public void setContext(java.util.Hashtable context)

Parameters:

context - A hashtable that a user can use to pass XMLContext One can also use this table to pass more information to its objects.

setXML

public boolean setXML(oracle.dss.util.xml.ObjectNode node,
                      ComponentTypeConverter converter,
                      java.lang.String version,
                      int reset)

Description copied from interface: DiscriminatorXML

Specifies XML that represents properties and values. This method applies the values of the properties in the XML to the DiscriminatorXML.

Specified by:

setXML in interface DiscriminatorXML

Parameters:

node - ObjectNode that has the properties and their values.

converter - A converter that converts component strings to integers and vice versa.

version - The XML version.

reset - A constant that indicates how much to reset when XML is applied. Valid values are listed in the See Also section.

Returns:

true if XML is properly applied, false if the XML cannot be applied.

See Also:

Rule.RESET_NONE, Rule.RESET_XML_PROPERTIES, Rule.RESET_EVERYTHING

getXML

public oracle.dss.util.xml.ObjectNode getXML(boolean allProperties,
                                             ComponentTypeConverter converter,
                                             boolean emptyElement)

Description copied from interface: DiscriminatorXML

Retrieves XML that represents properties and their values in the form of and ObjectNode.

Specified by:

getXML in interface DiscriminatorXML

Parameters:

allProperties - true to store all property values in XML, false to store only values that are different from default values.

converter - A converter that converts component strings to integers and integers to strings.

emptyElement - true if an empty element needs to be returned when none of the property values have changed from default. false if null should should be returned when none of the property values have changed from default. This argument is considered only if allProperties is false.

Returns:

XML for the properties and values.
