All Implemented Interfaces:

IState, IStateful

public class StatefulState
extends Object
implements IState, IStateful

Class used as a bridge between IStateful and IState. You can read individual values from it and you can pass the entire class to an IWritableState to save all the values.

Instances of this class should be immutable.

getType

public String getType()

Description copied from interface: IState

Gets a child of the named type. If there are several child nodes of the same type then any of them may be returned.

Specified by:

getChild in interface IState

Parameters:

type - node type

Returns:

child node or null if no such child exists

getAttributeKeys

public String[] getAttributeKeys()

Description copied from interface: IState

Return an array with the attribute keys for this state.

Specified by:

getAttributeKeys in interface IState

Returns:

attribute keys

getAttribute

public String getAttribute(String key)

Description copied from interface: IState

Gets a named attribute value.

Specified by:

getAttribute in interface IState

Parameters:

key - attribute key

Returns:

attribute value

getChildren

public StatefulState[] getChildren()

Description copied from interface: IState

Gets all child nodes.

Specified by:

getChildren in interface IState

Returns:

an array of child nodes

getChildren

public StatefulState[] getChildren(String type)

Description copied from interface: IState

Gets all child nodes of a named type.

Specified by:

getChildren in interface IState

Parameters:

type - node type

Returns:

an array of child nodes

saveTo

public void saveTo(IWritableState state)

Description copied from interface: IStateful

Saves the state for this object into a state object.

Specified by:

saveTo in interface IStateful

Parameters:

state - Object to save state to. Since there is no way to check for existing data in the state object an unused one should normally be used.

create

public static StatefulState create(IStateful state)

Create a new instance.

Parameters:

state - object whose state will be loaded into the new instance

Returns:

a new state instance

toString

public String toString()
