Field Detail

nodeManager

protected BasicNodeManager nodeManager

Reference to the NodeManager

cloud

protected final BasicCloud cloud

Reference to the Cloud.

noderef

protected MMObjectNode noderef

Reference to actual MMObjectNode object.

originalNoderef

protected MMObjectNode originalNoderef

temporaryNodeId

protected int temporaryNodeId

Temporary node ID. This is necessary since there is otherwise no sure (and quick) way to determine whether a node is in 'edit' mode (i.e. has a temporary node). Basically, a temporarynodeid is either -1 (invalid), or a negative number smaller than -1 (a temporary number assigned by the system).

Constructor Detail

BasicNode

BasicNode(BasicCloud cloud)

BasicNode

BasicNode(MMObjectNode node,
          BasicNodeManager nodeManager)

Parameters:

node - the MMObjectNode to base the node on

nodeManager - the NodeManager to use for administrating this Node

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If node is null

BasicNode

BasicNode(MMObjectNode node,

BasicNode

BasicNode(MMObjectNode node,
          BasicCloud cloud,
          int id)

getByteSize in interface SizeMeasurable

getByteSize

public int getByteSize(SizeOf sizeof)

Specified by:

getByteSize in interface SizeMeasurable

Returns:

true when value is null

getSize

public long getSize(String fieldName)

Specified by:

getSize in interface Node

Parameters:

fieldName - the name of the field

Returns:

the 'size'

getValueWithoutProcess

public Object getValueWithoutProcess(String fieldName)

Like getObjectValue, but skips any processing that MMBase would normally perform on a field. You can use this to get data from a field for validation purposes.

fieldName - name of field

Returns:

the value without processing

Since:

MMBase-1.8

getBooleanValue

public boolean getBooleanValue(String fieldName)

Description copied from interface: Node

Returns the value of the specified field as a boolean. If the actual value is numeric, this call returns true if the value is a positive, non-zero, value. In other words, values '0' and '-1' are considered false. If the value is a string, this call returns true if the value is "true" or "yes" (case-insensitive). In all other cases (including calling byte fields), false is returned.

Specified by:

getBooleanValue in interface Node

Overrides:

getBooleanValue in class AbstractNode

Parameters:

fieldName - the name of the field to be returned

Returns:

the value of the specified field

getDateValue

public Date getDateValue(String fieldName)

Specified by:

getDateValue in interface Node

Overrides:

getDateValue in class AbstractNode

Parameters:

fieldName - the name of the field to be returned

Returns:

the value of the specified field

getListValue

public List getListValue(String fieldName)

Specified by:

getListValue in interface Node

Overrides:

getListValue in class AbstractNode

Parameters:

fieldName - the name of the field to be returned

Returns:

the value of the specified field

getNodeValue

public Node getNodeValue(String fieldName)

Description copied from interface: Node

Returns the value of the specified field as a Node. If the value is not itself a Node, this call attempts to convert the original field value to a Node, by trying to retrieve a Node using the field value as a Node number or alias.
For instance, getNodeValue("destination"), when run on a OAlias object, returns the referenced destination node (instead of the number, which is what it normally holds).
Mostly, this call is used in cluster nodes (nodes retrieved by using the Cloud.getList method. A cluster node returns one of its compound nodes when an appropriate nodemanager name (name from the nodepath) is specified. I.e. getNodeValue("people") will return the people-node in the cluster. If this fails, the method returns null.
Notes: the behavior of getNodeValue when called on a field that is not intended to be a node reference is currently undefined and is not encouraged.
Calling this method with field "number" or null lets the Node return a reference to itself, regardless of the actual value of the number field or status of the Node.

Specified by:

getNodeValue in interface Node

Overrides:

getNodeValue in class AbstractNode

Parameters:

fieldName - the name of the field to be returned

Returns:

the value of the specified field

Long values return -1 of the value is too large. Boolean fields return 0 if false, and 1 if true. String fields are parsed. If a parsed string contains an error, ot the field value is not of a type that can be converted (i.e. a byte array), this function returns -1

Specified by:

getIntValue in interface Node

Overrides:

getIntValue in class AbstractNode

Parameters:

fieldName - the name of the field to be returned

the value of the specified field

getFloatValue

public float getFloatValue(String fieldName)

Description copied from interface: Node

Specified by:

getFloatValue in interface Node

Overrides:

getFloatValue in class AbstractNode

Parameters:

fieldName - the name of the field to be returned

Returns:

the value of the specified field

getLongValue

the value of the specified field

getDoubleValue

public double getDoubleValue(String fieldName)

Description copied from interface: Node

Returns the value of the specified field as a double. This function attempts to convert the value to a double. Numeric fields are simply converted. Double may be truncated.

fieldName - the name of the field

Returns:

value of field as a input stream

getStringValue

public String getStringValue(String fieldName)

Returns:

the value of the specified field

getXMLValue

public Document getXMLValue(String fieldName)

Description copied from interface: Node

Returns the value of the specified field as a dom.Document If the node value is not itself a Document, the method attempts to attempts to convert the String value into an XML. This included the empty string, but not the 'null' value. If the value is null, this method returns null

Specified by:

getXMLValue in interface Node

Overrides:

getXMLValue in class AbstractNode

Parameters:

fieldName - the name of the field to be returned

Returns:

the value of the specified field as a DOM Element or null

commit

public void commit()

Commit the node to the database. Prior to committing, the values are processed by any commit-processors associated with the datatype of the node's fields), then validated. Makes this node and/or the changes made to this node visible to the cloud. If this method is called for the first time on this node it will make this node visible to the cloud, otherwise the modifications made to this node using the set methods will be made visible to the cloud. This action fails if the current node is not in edit mode. If the node is in a transaction, nothing happens - actual committing occurs through the transaction. This implementation checks create rights, then validates the values, then processes the 'commit processors' and then calls BasicCloud.afterCommit(BasicNode)

createParameters

public Parameters createParameters(String functionName)

Description copied from interface: Node

Creates a parameter list for a function. The list can be filled with parameter values by either using the List set(int, Object) method, to set values for parameters by psoition, or by using the set(String, Object) method to set parameters by name.
This object can then be passed to the getFunctionValue method. Note that adding extra parameters (with the add(Object) method) won't work and may cause exceptions.

Specified by:

createParameters in interface Node

Overrides:

createParameters in class AbstractNode

Parameters:

functionName - name of the function

Returns:

a Parameters object.

createFunctionValue

protected FieldValue createFunctionValue(Object result)
