Interface CompositeNode

All Known Implementing Classes:

MonitorComposite

public interface CompositeNode

A CompositeNode works with NodeTrees and LeafNodes to create heirarchical object trees. An example is a file system where directories can be viewed LeafNodes and directories can be viewed as CompositeNodes. TreeNodes can be viewed as the top level of the tree structures.

Method Summary

void	addCompositeNode(java.lang.String childNodeName, CompositeNode addNode)
void	addLeafNode(java.lang.String childNodeName, LeafNode addNode)
boolean	compositeNodeExists(java.lang.String childNodeName) Returns true if the compositeNodeExists
CompositeNode	getCompositeNode(java.lang.String childNodeName) Return the composite node pointed to by the node name
java.lang.String	getCompositeNodeKey(java.lang.String nodeName)
LeafNode	getLeafNode(java.lang.String childNodeName, java.lang.String childNodeType) Return the leaf node pointed to by the node name.
java.lang.String	getLeafNodeKey(java.lang.String nodeName)
CompositeNode	getRootNode() Return the NodeTrees root CompositeNode i.e.
boolean	leafNodeExists(java.lang.String childNodeName) Returns true if the leafNodeExists

Method Detail

getRootNode

public CompositeNode getRootNode()

Return the NodeTrees root CompositeNode i.e. the root of the heirarchy.

getCompositeNode

public CompositeNode getCompositeNode(java.lang.String childNodeName)

Return the composite node pointed to by the node name

getLeafNode

public LeafNode getLeafNode(java.lang.String childNodeName,
                            java.lang.String childNodeType)

Return the leaf node pointed to by the node name. childNodeType allows us to return different node types with the same interface

leafNodeExists

public boolean leafNodeExists(java.lang.String childNodeName)

Returns true if the leafNodeExists

compositeNodeExists

public boolean compositeNodeExists(java.lang.String childNodeName)

Returns true if the compositeNodeExists

addCompositeNode

public void addCompositeNode(java.lang.String childNodeName,
                             CompositeNode addNode)

addLeafNode

public void addLeafNode(java.lang.String childNodeName,
                        LeafNode addNode)

getCompositeNodeKey

public java.lang.String getCompositeNodeKey(java.lang.String nodeName)

getLeafNodeKey

public java.lang.String getLeafNodeKey(java.lang.String nodeName)
