Class ComplexObjectGenerator

      org.progeeks.tool.gen.ComplexObjectGenerator

All Implemented Interfaces:

DataGenerator

public class ComplexObjectGenerator
extends BaseDataGenerator

Constructs an object by iterating over a collection of sub-generators to get the values for each of the object's properties. A single sub-generator may be used to set more than one property. If a property is not assigned a sub-generator, it is not explicitely set by the generator (though it may still contain a value if set indirectly by some other call).

Method Detail

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

init

protected void init()
             throws java.lang.Exception

Validates input settings

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

generateRealData

protected java.lang.Object generateRealData(DataGeneratorContext context)

Creates an object of the proper type with properties set as specified by the property generators.

Specified by:

generateRealData in class BaseDataGenerator

generateRealData

protected java.lang.Object generateRealData(java.lang.Object dataObject,
                                            DataGeneratorContext context)

Populates the given object with properties set as specified by the property generators.

testData

protected boolean testData(java.lang.Object testItem,
                           DataGeneratorContext context)

Description copied from class: BaseDataGenerator

Left for sub-classes. Subclasses do not have to check for null.

Specified by:

testData in class BaseDataGenerator

getPropGenerators

public java.util.Map getPropGenerators()

Returns:

Returns the generators used to set the properties.

setPropGenerators

public void setPropGenerators(java.util.Map generators)

Map where the keys are property names and the data is a generator for that property. The order in which properties are set can be enforced by using a LinkedHashMap. This is most useful if there are ConditionalDataGenerators that depend on the value of another property or another object entirely.

Parameters:

generators - The generators to set.

getBaseClassGenerator

public ComplexObjectGenerator getBaseClassGenerator()

Returns:

Returns the baseClassGenerator.

setBaseClassGenerator

public void setBaseClassGenerator(ComplexObjectGenerator superClassGenerator)

Generator that can be used to set fields prior to any generators in the propGenerators map. Useful for creating generators for a set of classes that extend a common base class.

Parameters:

baseClassGenerator - The baseClassGenerator to set.

setDataClass

public void setDataClass(java.lang.String dataClass)

Description copied from class: BaseDataGenerator

The full java class name or a MetaClass name of the objects to create

Specified by:

setDataClass in interface DataGenerator

Overrides:

setDataClass in class BaseDataGenerator

Parameters:

dataClass - The dataClass to set.
