public class SetPropertiesRule extends Rule
Rule implementation that sets properties on the object at the top of the stack, based on attributes with corresponding names.
This rule supports custom mapping of attribute names to property names.
The default mapping for particular attributes can be overridden by using
(String[] attributeNames, String[] propertyNames)
.
This allows attributes to be mapped to properties with different names.
Certain attributes can also be marked to be ignored.
Constructor Summary | |
---|---|
SetPropertiesRule(Digester digester)
Default constructor sets only the the associated Digester.
| |
SetPropertiesRule()
Base constructor. | |
SetPropertiesRule(String attributeName, String propertyName) Convenience constructor overrides the mapping for just one property. For details about how this works, see
| |
SetPropertiesRule(String[] attributeNames, String[] propertyNames) Constructor allows attribute->property mapping to be overriden. Two arrays are passed in. |
Method Summary | |
---|---|
void | addAlias(String attributeName, String propertyName) Add an additional attribute name to property name mapping. |
void | begin(Attributes attributes)
Process the beginning of this element.
|
String | toString()
Render a printable version of this Rule. |
Deprecated: The digester instance is now set in the Digester method. Use SetPropertiesRule instead.
Default constructor sets only the the associated Digester.Parameters: digester The digester with which this rule is associated
Convenience constructor overrides the mapping for just one property.
For details about how this works, see
(String[] attributeNames, String[] propertyNames)
.
Parameters: attributeName map this attribute propertyName to a property with this name
Constructor allows attribute->property mapping to be overriden.
Two arrays are passed in. One contains the attribute names and the other the property names. The attribute name / property name pairs are match by position In order words, the first string in the attribute name list matches to the first string in the property name list and so on.
If a property name is null or the attribute name has no matching property name, then this indicates that the attibute should be ignored.
The following constructs a rule that maps the alt-city
attribute to the city
property and the alt-state
to the state
property.
All other attributes are mapped as usual using exact name matching.
SetPropertiesRule(
new String[] {"alt-city", "alt-state"},
new String[] {"city", "state"});
The following constructs a rule that maps the class
attribute to the className
property.
The attribute ignore-me
is not mapped.
All other attributes are mapped as usual using exact name matching.
SetPropertiesRule(
new String[] {"class", "ignore-me"},
new String[] {"className"});
Parameters: attributeNames names of attributes to map propertyNames names of properties mapped to
Add an additional attribute name to property name mapping. This is intended to be used from the xml rules.
Parameters: attributes The attribute list of this element
