PropertyPointer
Takes a javabean, a descriptor of a property of that object and an offset within that property (starting with 0).- Parameters:
parent
- parent pointer
-
-
Method Details
-
getPropertyIndex
public int getPropertyIndex()Get the property index.- Returns:
- int index
-
setPropertyIndex
public void setPropertyIndex(int index) Set the property index.- Parameters:
index
- property index
-
getBean
Get the parent bean.- Returns:
- Object
-
getName
Description copied from class:NodePointer
Returns the name of this node. Can be null.- Specified by:
getName
in classNodePointer
- Returns:
- QName
-
getPropertyName
Get the property name.- Returns:
- String property name.
-
setPropertyName
Set the property name.- Parameters:
propertyName
- property name to set.
-
getPropertyCount
public abstract int getPropertyCount()Count the number of properties represented.- Returns:
- int
-
getPropertyNames
Get the names of the included properties.- Returns:
- String[]
-
isActualProperty
protected abstract boolean isActualProperty()Learn whether this pointer references an actual property.- Returns:
- true if actual
-
isActual
public boolean isActual()Description copied from class:NodePointer
An actual pointer points to an existing part of an object graph, even if it is null. A non-actual pointer represents a part that does not exist at all. For instance consider the pointer "/address/street". If both address and street are not null, the pointer is actual. If address is not null, but street is null, the pointer is still actual. If address is null, the pointer is not actual. (In JavaBeans) if address is not a property of the root bean, a Pointer for this path cannot be obtained at all - actual or otherwise.- Overrides:
isActual
in classNodePointer
- Returns:
- boolean
-
getImmediateNode
Description copied from class:NodePointer
Returns the object the pointer points to; does not convert it to a "canonical" type.- Specified by:
getImmediateNode
in classNodePointer
- Returns:
- Object node
-
isCollection
public boolean isCollection()Description copied from class:NodePointer
Returnstrue
if the value of the pointer is an array or a Collection.- Specified by:
isCollection
in classNodePointer
- Returns:
- boolean
-
isLeaf
public boolean isLeaf()Description copied from class:NodePointer
If true, this node does not have children- Specified by:
isLeaf
in classNodePointer
- Returns:
- boolean
-
getLength
public int getLength()If the property contains a collection, then the length of that collection, otherwise - 1.- Specified by:
getLength
in classNodePointer
- Returns:
- int length
-
getImmediateValuePointer
Returns a NodePointer that can be used to access the currently selected property value.- Overrides:
getImmediateValuePointer
in classNodePointer
- Returns:
- NodePointer
- See Also:
-
createPath
Description copied from class:NodePointer
Called by a child pointer when it needs to create a parent object. Must create an object described by this pointer and return a new pointer that properly describes the new object.- Overrides:
createPath
in classNodePointer

- created NodePointer
-
createPath
Description copied from class:NodePointer

createPath
in classNodePointer
- Parameters:
context
- the owning JXPathContextvalue

- created NodePointer
-
createChild
Description copied from class:NodePointer
Called by a child pointer if that child needs to assign the value supplied in the createPath(context, value) call to a non-existent node. This method may have to expand the collection in order to assign the element.- Overrides:

- the QName at which a child should be createdindex
- child index.value
- node value to set- Returns:
- created NodePointer
-
createChild
Description copied from class:NodePointer

createChild
in classNodePointer
- Parameters:
context
- the owning JXPathCOntextname
- the QName at which a child should be createdindex
- child index.- Returns:
- created NodePointer
-
hashCode
public int hashCode() -
equals
-
compareChildNodePointers
Description copied from class:NodePointer
Compares two child NodePointers and returns a positive number, zero or a positive number according to the order of the pointers.- Specified by:
compareChildNodePointers
in classNodePointer
- Parameters:
pointer1
- first pointer to be comparedpointer2
- second pointer to be compared- Returns:
- int per Java comparison conventions
