Interface AutoExpandable

All Known Implementing Classes:

ContentSetFolder

public interface AutoExpandable

This interface is intended to be implemented by classes that also implement Element to indicate whether a particular Element should be auto-expanded in the navigator upon creation. When an Element says that it is not auto-expandable in a particular Context, it means that auto-expansion will stop at that point in the tree.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
boolean	shouldAutoExpand(Context expansionContext) The implementation of this method should return true if this Element is allowed to be auto-expanded.

Method Detail

shouldAutoExpand

boolean shouldAutoExpand(Context expansionContext)

The implementation of this method should return true if this Element is allowed to be auto-expanded. If false is returned, it means that auto-expansion will occur up to this Element but not drill in any further.

Parameters:

expansionContext - The auto-expansion Context. This Context is not necessarily the context of this Element, but it is the Context where auto-expansion was initiated. It is also possible that the expansionContext will be null if there is a reason that a Context could not be provided. Implementations need to check for null before dereferencing expansionContext.
