All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, PublicCloneable<Event>

public class NodeEvent
extends Event

This class communicates a node event. in case of a change event, it contains a map of changed values, mapped to their field's name, as well as the previous values of the changed fields.

Constructor Detail

NodeEvent

public NodeEvent(String machineName,
                 String builderName,
                 int nodeNumber,
                 Map<String,Object> oldValues,
                 Map<String,Object> newValues,
                 int eventType)

Parameters:

machineName - (MMBase) name of the server

builderName - name of builder of node event is about

oldValues - map with fields and their values that have been changed by the event. This may be null

newValues - map with new values of changed fields

eventType - the type of event

Method Detail

setUnacceptableValueTypes

static void setUnacceptableValueTypes(Class[] types)

Since:

MMBase-1.9.4

See Also:

getUnacceptableValueTypes()

setRequiredValueTypes

static void setRequiredValueTypes(Class[] types)

Since:

MMBase-1.9.4

See Also:

getRequiredValueTypes()

getUnacceptableValueTypes

public static Class[] getUnacceptableValueTypes()

Sets the types of which values are unacceptable in the values and oldvalues maps. This can be configured in config/utils/nodeevents.xml This defaults to [byte[]], but you can add other larges types too e.g. String. You could also set it to Object.class not not include any values in the event.

Since:

MMBase-1.9.4

getRequiredValueTypes

public static Class[] getRequiredValueTypes()

Gets the types (interfaces) which values must implement in the values and oldvalues maps. This can be configured in config/utils/nodeevents.xml This defaults to [java.io.Serializable]. The values must be serializable, otherwise the event itself is not properly serializable, which is needed in a clustering environment.

Since:

MMBase-1.9.4

configure

static void configure()

Reads nodeevents.xml

Since:

MMBase-1.9.4

getOldValue

public final Object getOldValue(String fieldName)

Parameters:

fieldName - the field you want to get the old value of

Returns:

an Object containing the old value (in case of change event), or null if the fieldName was not found in the old value list

getChangedFields

public final Set<String> getChangedFields()

Returns:

a set containing the names of the fields that have changed

getNewValue

public final Object getNewValue(String fieldName)

Parameters:

fieldName - the field you want the new value of (in case of change event), or null if the fieldName was not found in the new value list

Returns:

the new value of the field

getBuilderName

public final String getBuilderName()

Returns:

Returns the builderName.

getNodeNumber

public final int getNodeNumber()

Returns:

Returns the nodeNumber.

isRelation

public boolean isRelation()

Especially events of the type NEW can also be about relations. You may want to know this. This determines it efficiently without actually getting the node from the database.

Since:

MMBase-1.9.4

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

getEventTypeGuiName

protected static String getEventTypeGuiName(int eventType)

newTypeToOldType

public static String newTypeToOldType(int eventType)

For conveneance: conversion of the new event type indication to the old style

Parameters:

eventType - must be c,d,n or r

Returns:

A String describing the type of an event. (like "c" (change), "d" (delete), "n" (new), or "r" (relation change))

oldTypeToNewType

public static int oldTypeToNewType(String eventType)

oldTypeToNewType

public static int oldTypeToNewType(char eventType)

For conveneance: conversion of the old event type indication to the new style

Parameters:

eventType -

Since:

MMBase-1.9.2

hasChanged

public boolean hasChanged(String fieldName)

utility method: check if a certain field has changed

Parameters:

fieldName -

Returns:

true if the field of given name is among the changed fields

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

getOldValues

public final Map<String,Object> getOldValues()

old values can be different things.

• if the event type is 'new' this collection is empty.
• if the event type is 'changed' this collection contains the old values of the changed fields.
• if the event type is 'delete' this collection contains all the values of the node to be deleted.

Returns:

a map where the key is a fieldname and the value the field's value

getNewValues

public final Map<String,Object> getNewValues()

new values can be different things.

• if the event type is 'new' this collection contains all the fields of the node.
• if the event type is 'changed' this collection contains the new values of the changed fields.
• if the event type is 'delete' this collection is empty.

Returns:

a map where the key is a fieldname and the value the field's value

main

public static void main(String[] args)
