Constructor Detail

GenericAnnotation

public GenericAnnotation()

GenericAnnotation

public GenericAnnotation(String type)

Creates a new annotation for a given type.

Note that it is technically to have two annotations with the same type but different fields. This is a side effect of the capability to access the annotation in a generic way. The user is responsible for keeping consistent types of annotations.

Parameters:

type - the identifier of the type (cannot be null or empty).

GenericAnnotation

public GenericAnnotation(String type,
                         Object... list)

Creates a new annotation for a given type. With a list of fields. This method simply call the setFields(Object...) method after creating the annotation.

Parameters:

type - the identifier of the type (cannot be null or empty).

list - the list of key+value pairs to set.

Method Detail

createFromString

public static GenericAnnotation createFromString(String storage)

Creates a new GenericAnnotation object from a storage string.

Parameters:

storage - the serialized representation of the object.

Returns:

a new GenericAnnotation object.

addAnnotation

public static void addAnnotation(ITextUnit tu,
                                 GenericAnnotation ann)

Adds an annotation to a text unit. If the text unit has no annotation set attached yet one is created and attached, otherwise the annotation to add is added to the existing set.

Parameters:

tu - the text unit where to attach the annotation.

ann - the annotation to attach (if null, nothing is attached).

addAnnotation

public static void addAnnotation(TextContainer tc,
                                 GenericAnnotation ann)

Adds an annotation to a text container. If the text container has no annotation set attached yet one is created and attached, otherwise the annotation to add is added to the existing set.

Parameters:

tc - the text container where to attach the annotation.

ann - the annotation to attach (if null, nothing is attached).

addAnnotation

public static void addAnnotation(Code code,
                                 GenericAnnotation ann)

Adds an annotation to an inline code. If the inline code has no annotation set attached yet one is created and attached, otherwise the annotation to add is added to the existing set.

Parameters:

code - the code where to add the annotation.

ann - the annotation to add (if null, nothing is attached).

setFields

public void setFields(Object... list)

Sets a list of key+values pairs for this annotation. Each pair must be made of a string that is the name of the field, and an object that is the value to set. The object can be null in that case: the key is not set or deleted. Only supported types must be used.

Parameters:

list - the list of key+value pairs to set.

clone

public GenericAnnotation clone()

Description copied from class: InlineAnnotation

Clones this annotation.

Specified by:

clone in interface IPersistentAnnotation

Overrides:

clone in class InlineAnnotation

Returns:

A new InlineAnnotation object that is a copy of this one.

getType

public String getType()

Gets the type of annotation.

Returns:

the type identifier for the annotation.

getString

public String getString(String name)

Gets the string value for a given field.

Parameters:

name - the name of the field.

Returns:

the field's value as a string.

setString

public void setString(String name,
                      String value)

Sets a string field.

Parameters:

name - the name of the field to set.

value - the value to set, use null to remove the field.

getBoolean

public Boolean getBoolean(String name)

getValue

public Object getValue(String name)

setBoolean

public void setBoolean(String name,
                       Boolean value)

sets a boolean field.

Parameters:

name - the name of the field to set.

value - the value to set, use null to remove the field.

getDouble

public Double getDouble(String name)

setDouble

public void setDouble(String name,
                      Double value)

getInteger

public Integer getInteger(String name)

setInteger

public void setInteger(String name,
                       Integer value)

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from class: InlineAnnotation

Gets a storage string representation of the whole annotation that can be used for serialization.

Specified by:

toString in interface IAnnotation

Overrides:

toString in class InlineAnnotation

Returns:

The storage string representation of this annotation.

fromString

public void fromString(String storage)

Description copied from class: InlineAnnotation

Initializes this annotation from a storage string originally obtained from InlineAnnotation.toString().

Specified by:

fromString in interface IPersistentAnnotation

Overrides:

fromString in class InlineAnnotation

Parameters:

storage - The storage string to use for the initialization.

getFieldCount

public int getFieldCount()

getNames
