Class Evaluation


  • public class Evaluation
    extends Object
    An Evaluation is and object that holds a node being evaluated and the source from which that node will take extract its value. It refers to child evaluations that occur as a result of the nodes' evaluation.
    • Constructor Detail

      • Evaluation

        public Evaluation​(SimpleNode node,
                          Object source)
        Constructs a new "get" Evaluation from the node and source given.
      • Evaluation

        public Evaluation​(SimpleNode node,
                          Object source,
                          boolean setOperation)
        Constructs a new Evaluation from the node and source given. If setOperation is true this Evaluation represents a "set" as opposed to a "get".
    • Method Detail

      • getNode

        public SimpleNode getNode()
        Returns the SimpleNode for this Evaluation
      • setNode

        public void setNode​(SimpleNode value)
        Sets the node of the evaluation. Normally applications do not need to set this. Notable exceptions to this rule are custom evaluators that choose between navigable objects (as in a multi-root evaluator where the navigable node is chosen at runtime).
      • getSource

        public Object getSource()
        Returns the source object on which this Evaluation operated.
      • setSource

        public void setSource​(Object value)
        Sets the source of the evaluation. Normally applications do not need to set this. Notable exceptions to this rule are custom evaluators that choose between navigable objects (as in a multi-root evaluator where the navigable node is chosen at runtime).
      • isSetOperation

        public boolean isSetOperation()
        Returns true if this Evaluation represents a set operation.
      • setSetOperation

        public void setSetOperation​(boolean value)
        Marks the Evaluation as a set operation if the value is true, else marks it as a get operation.
      • getResult

        public Object getResult()
        Returns the result of the Evaluation, or null if it was a set operation.
      • setResult

        public void setResult​(Object value)
        Sets the result of the Evaluation. This method is normally only used interally and should not be set without knowledge of what you are doing.
      • getException

        public Throwable getException()
        Returns the exception that occurred as a result of evaluating the Evaluation, or null if no exception occurred.
      • setException

        public void setException​(Throwable value)
        Sets the exception that occurred as a result of evaluating the Evaluation. This method is normally only used interally and should not be set without knowledge of what you are doing.
      • getParent

        public Evaluation getParent()
        Returns the parent evaluation of this evaluation. If this returns null then it is is the root evaluation of a tree.
      • getNext

        public Evaluation getNext()
        Returns the next sibling of this evaluation. Returns null if this is the last in a chain of evaluations.
      • getPrevious

        public Evaluation getPrevious()
        Returns the previous sibling of this evaluation. Returns null if this is the first in a chain of evaluations.
      • getFirstChild

        public Evaluation getFirstChild()
        Returns the first child of this evaluation. Returns null if there are no children.
      • getLastChild

        public Evaluation getLastChild()
        Returns the last child of this evaluation. Returns null if there are no children.
      • getFirstDescendant

        public Evaluation getFirstDescendant()
        Gets the first descendent. In any Evaluation tree this will the Evaluation that was first executed.
      • getLastDescendant

        public Evaluation getLastDescendant()
        Gets the last descendent. In any Evaluation tree this will the Evaluation that was most recently executing.
      • addChild

        public void addChild​(Evaluation child)
        Adds a child to the list of children of this evaluation. The parent of the child is set to the receiver and the children references are modified in the receiver to reflect the new child. The lastChild of the receiver is set to the child, and the firstChild is set also if child is the first (or only) child.
      • init

        public void init​(SimpleNode node,
                         Object source,
                         boolean setOperation)
        Reinitializes this Evaluation to the parameters specified.
      • reset

        public void reset()
        Resets this Evaluation to the initial state.
      • toString

        public String toString​(boolean compact,
                               boolean showChildren,
                               String depth)
        Produces a String value for the Evaluation. If compact is true then a more compact form of the description only including the node type and unique identifier is shown, else a full description including source and result are shown. If showChildren is true the child evaluations are printed using the depth string given as a prefix.
      • toString

        public String toString​(boolean compact,
                               String depth)
        Produces a String value for the Evaluation. If compact is true then a more compact form of the description only including the node type and unique identifier is shown, else a full description including source and result are shown. Child evaluations are printed using the depth string given as a prefix.
      • toString

        public String toString()
        Returns a String description of the Evaluation.
        Overrides:
        toString in class Object
