Constructor Detail

BeanConnection

public BeanConnection(BeanInstance source,
              BeanInstance target,
              EventSetDescriptor esd,
              Integer... tab)

Creates a new BeanConnection instance.

Parameters:

source - the source bean

target - the target bean

esd - the EventSetDescriptor for the connection be displayed

Method Detail

init

public static void init()

Sets up just a single collection of bean connections in the first element of the list. This is useful for clients that are using XMLBeans to load beans.

getConnections

public static Vector<BeanConnection> getConnections(Integer... tab)

Returns the list of connections

Returns:

the list of connections

setConnections

public static void setConnections(Vector<BeanConnection> connections,
                  Integer... tab)

Describe setConnections method here.

Parameters:

connections - a Vector value

addConnections

public static void addConnections(Vector<BeanConnection> connections)

Add the supplied collection of connections to the end of the list.

Parameters:

connections - the connections to add

appendConnections

public static void appendConnections(Vector<BeanConnection> connections,
                     int tab)

Append the supplied connections to the list for the given tab index

Parameters:

connections - the connections to append

tab - the index of the list to append to

associatedConnections

public static Vector<BeanConnection> associatedConnections(Vector<Object> subFlow,
                                           Integer... tab)

Returns a vector of BeanConnections associated with the supplied vector of BeanInstances, i.e. all connections that exist between those BeanInstances in the subFlow.

Parameters:

subFlow - a Vector of BeanInstances

Returns:

a Vector of BeanConnections

inputs

public static Vector<Object> inputs(Vector<Object> subset,
                    Integer... tab)

Returns a vector of BeanInstances that can be considered as inputs (or the left-hand side of a sub-flow)

Parameters:

subset - the sub-flow to examine

Returns:

a Vector of inputs to the sub-flow

outputs

public static Vector<Object> outputs(Vector<Object> subset,
                     Integer... tab)

Returns a vector of BeanInstances that can be considered as outputs (or the right-hand side of a sub-flow)

Parameters:

subset - the sub-flow to examine

Returns:

a Vector of outputs of the sub-flow

paintConnections

public static void paintConnections(Graphics gx,
                    Integer... tab)

Renders the connections and their names on the supplied graphics context

Parameters:

gx - a Graphics value

getClosestConnections

public static Vector<BeanConnection> getClosestConnections(Point pt,
                                           int delta,
                                           Integer... tab)

Return a list of connections within some delta of a point

Parameters:

pt - the point at which to look for connections

delta - connections have to be within this delta of the point

Returns:

a list of connections

removeConnectionList

public static void removeConnectionList(Integer tab)

Remove the list of connections at the supplied index

Parameters:

tab - the index of the list to remove (correspods to a tab in the Knowledge Flow UI)

tab - the index of the list of connections to remove

removeConnections

public static void removeConnections(BeanInstance instance,
                     Integer... tab)

Remove all connections for a bean. If the bean is a target for receiving events then it gets deregistered from the corresonding source bean. If the bean is a source of events then all targets implementing BeanCommon are notified via their disconnectionNotification methods that the source (and hence the connection) is going away.

Parameters:

instance - the bean to remove connections to/from

doMetaConnection

public static void doMetaConnection(BeanInstance source,
                    BeanInstance target,
                    EventSetDescriptor esd,
                    JComponent displayComponent,
                    int tab)

setHidden

public void setHidden(boolean hidden)

Make this connection invisible on the display

Parameters:

hidden - true to make the connection invisible

isHidden

public boolean isHidden()

Returns true if this connection is invisible

Returns:

true if connection is invisible

remove

public void remove(Integer... tab)

Remove this connection

getSource

public BeanInstance getSource()

returns the source BeanInstance for this connection

Returns:

a BeanInstance value

getTarget

public BeanInstance getTarget()

Returns the target BeanInstance for this connection

Returns:

a BeanInstance value

getEventName

public String getEventName()

Returns the name of the event for this conncetion

Returns:

the name of the event for this connection
