public abstract class Transform extends ExtensionBean
apply methods that apply the transform, and can supply
 isApplicable methods that evaluate whether the transform is
 currently applicable, query methods that query the user
 for transforms that require user input, and isQueryRequired 
 methods that, when a query method is present, evaluate whether the user
 really needs to be queried. The Audit framework discovers transforms through 
 their attachment to Rules, and 
 uses introspection to find the apply, isApplicable, 
 isQueryRequired, and query methods they declare.
 
 Transforms are stateless objects. The Audit framework creates only 
 one instance of each kind of transform. Transform methods rely on a
 context argument supplied by the Audit framework
 to supply the state they need. That state always includes the issue which
 the transform addresses; transform methods can share state through the
 context when necessary. Transform should not have instance fields.
 
 A transform addresses a single violation and each violation is associated 
 with a construct in an object model. Different object models handle the
 details of mutating an object model (locks, transaction, and so forth)
 differently, so the Audit framework delegates this to an implementation of
 the abstract TransformAdapter class. A transform is constructed with 
 an appropriate transform adapter; for example, a transform for the JDeveloper
 Java model (oracle.javatools.parser.java.v2.model) would be constructed
 with a JavaTransformAdapter. The 
 apply, isApplicable, isQueryRequired, 
 and query methods all require access to the construct, and to 
 parameters of the violation, so they take two arguments, a 
 TransformContext argument, and a construct argument. The actual 
 declared class of the transform context argument can be a subclass of 
 TransformContext, and the actual declared class of the construct 
 argument can be its class or any supertype of its class. If more than one
 apply, isApplicable, isQueryRequired, 
 or query method is present, the one with the most specific 
 matching construct type is invoked.
 
isApplicable, isQueryRequired, query, and apply Methods
 An isApplicable(context,construct) method, if matched, should 
 return whether the transform can be applied in the context to the construct. 
 If no isApplicable method is matched, the transform is assumed to 
 be applicable.
 
An isQueryRequired(context,construct) method, if matched, should return whether the corresponding query method should be invoked to query the user. If no isQueryRequired method is matched, a query is assumed to be required only if a corresponding query method is present.
 A query(context,construct) should query the user using a Swing 
 dialog and return true unless the user cancels. It should use 
 TransformContext.setAttribute(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object) to save query results for apply
 to use.
 
 An apply(context,construct) method should apply the transform in
 the context. It can assume that any conditions tested isApplicable are still
 true. If a query was required, it should use TransformContext.getAttribute(java.lang.String) 
 to get the query results.
 
Composite Transforms
 Some transforms require modifying a file other than the one containing the
 violation, modifying more than one file, chaining to another transform, 
 and/or using more than one kind of transform adapter. That can be handled 
 by overriding createContexts(oracle.jdeveloper.audit.service.Violation) to return one or more alternate 
 contexts in which to apply the tranform. Each TransformContext
 can call out a different Location, 
 Transform, and/or TransformAdapter. When applying a transform,
 the framework first call all the iisApplicaable methods in the
 order returned from createContexts. If all are true, it then calls all the 
 isQueryRequired/query methods, if any, in order. If not cancelled, it then
 calls all the apply methods in order. If any fail, the partial applies are
 rolled back.

 The default Transform implementation invokes the 
 TransformAdapter.createContext(oracle.jdeveloper.audit.transform.Transform, oracle.jdeveloper.audit.service.Violation, oracle.jdeveloper.audit.model.Location) method of its transform adapter to 
 create a context for this transform at the violation location, i.e.:
   adapter().createContext(this, violation, violation.getLocation())
 
A transform can override this method to delegate to a different transform at a different location, or this transform at several locations, etcetera. The Audit framework will aggregate the transform isApplicable, query, and apply methods.

Transform
 implementation gets the template string using TopLevelDefinition.label() and binds it using TopLevelDefinition.bind(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object, boolean). The template string can reference
 properties of the transform.
 
 Any references to properties of a transform context or parameters of a
 violation (that would be valid for a transform label bound in the context
 of a specific issue) are erased from the template string. This behavior
 sometimes allows a single label to be used in both unbound and bound
 contexts (e.g., in the Audit profile panel and in an editor light bulb
 menu action, respectively), though it must be noted that such cleverness
 is unlikely to translate well.public java.lang.String boundLabel(TransformContext context)
Transform implementation gets the
 template string using TransformDefinition.boundLabel(java.lang.String), which
 returns the first defined of these names:
 bound.label
 label
  and binds it using TopLevelDefinition.bind(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object, boolean).
 The template string can reference properties of the transform context,
 parameters of the violation, and properties of the transform.
 
 For example, a concrete Transform named "rename-field" for which the
 violation is expected to have name and suggestedName
 parameters might have the following in its resource bundle:
 rename-field.label=Rename Field
 rename-field.bound-label=Rename Field "{name}" to "{suggestedName}"
