org.progeeks.meta.view
Class MetaFormAnnotationMap

java.lang.Object
  org.progeeks.meta.annotate.DefaultAnnotationMap
      org.progeeks.meta.view.MetaFormAnnotationMap

All Implemented Interfaces:

AnnotationMap

public class MetaFormAnnotationMap
extends DefaultAnnotationMap

Specialized AnnotationMap the does internal management of the MetaForms to provide cleaner access to the information. For example, meta-form flavors associated with a property will automatically be factored into the class-level MetaForm when possible. Also, queries about a properties meta-form annotations will be backed by the real class-level MetaForm even if the form wasn't actually created that way. To get this implementation in place, I've temporarily assumed all MetaForms are DefaultMetaForm. We'll refactor as necessary to support different implementations later.

Constructor Detail

MetaFormAnnotationMap

public MetaFormAnnotationMap()

Method Detail

getAnnotation

public java.lang.Object getAnnotation(java.lang.Object key)

Returns the annotation associated with the specified key. Specific implementations may use delegation to parent annotation maps to resolve these references.

Specified by:

getAnnotation in interface AnnotationMap

Overrides:

getAnnotation in class DefaultAnnotationMap

setAnnotation

public void setAnnotation(java.lang.Object key,
                          java.lang.Object annotation)
                   throws ImmutableAnnotationMapException,
                          UnsupportedKeyException

Sets the annotation object associated with the specified key.

Specified by:

setAnnotation in interface AnnotationMap

Overrides:

setAnnotation in class DefaultAnnotationMap

Throws:

ImmutableAnnotationMapException - when the underlying implementation does not support adding or updating annotations. This can be the case for algorithmic annotations or for any annotations that cannot be changed at runtime.

UnsupportedKeyException

setMetaClassForm

protected void setMetaClassForm(CompositeKey key,
                                MetaForm form)

setPropertyFlavor

protected void setPropertyFlavor(PropertyKey key,
                                 MetaFormFlavor flavor)

isKeySupported

public boolean isKeySupported(java.lang.Object key)

Returns true if the specified key matches the MetaForm key scheme.

Specified by:

isKeySupported in interface AnnotationMap

Overrides:

isKeySupported in class DefaultAnnotationMap
