Constructor Detail

QuickDiffReference

protected QuickDiffReference(java.net.URL url)

Constructor. If there is a cached node for the given URL and a call to createNodeListener() produces a non-null result, the listener is added to the node and will be removed in dispose().

Parameters:

url - the reference URL.

Method Detail

createNodeListener

protected NodeListener createNodeListener()

Creates a NodeListener for observing the Node associated with the reference URL. By default, returns null.

Returns:

the new NodeListener.

getNode

protected final Node getNode()

Gets the Node associated with the reference URL.

Returns:

the associated Node instance, if any, or null.

getCompareContributor

public final oracle.javatools.compare.algorithm.text.TextCompareContributor getCompareContributor()
                                                                                           throws java.lang.Exception

Gets the TextCompareContributor for the compare operation to be performed by the Quick Diff margin. This method cannot be overridden and may return locally cached contributor instance.

Returns:

the TextCompareContributor.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if an I/O or process exception occurs.

createCompareContributor

protected oracle.javatools.compare.algorithm.text.TextCompareContributor createCompareContributor()
                                                                                           throws java.lang.Exception

Creates the TextCompareContributor for the compare operation to be performed by the Quick Diff margin. This method must return a new contributor instance based on the latest state of the reference.

Returns:

the TextCompareContributor.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if an I/O or process exception occurs.

openInputStream

public abstract java.io.InputStream openInputStream()
                                             throws java.io.IOException

Opens an InputStream onto the reference file.

Returns:

an InputStream

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O exception occurs.

dispose

public void dispose()

Disposes of all transient reference data and detaches all listeners for the observable state. This method is called by the Quick Diff margin when the reference is no longer required.

doNotifyObservers

protected void doNotifyObservers()

Performs notification of a reference state change to the Quick Diff margin, first clearing any locally cached compare contributor state.
