Class EserialElement

java.lang.Object

hu.elte.eserial.model.EserialElement

public class EserialElement
extends java.lang.Object

An element is defined by its accessor method (getter or setter) and the corresponding value.
This is a convenience class wrapping these two with interfaces for accessing the containing class and the corresponding field.

Method Detail

fromValue

public static EserialElement fromValue(java.lang.Object value)

Constructs an EserialElement with only a value.

Parameters:

value - the value of the element

Returns:

an EserialElement with the given value

fromAccessor

public static EserialElement fromAccessor(Accessor accessor)

Constructs an EserialElement with only an Accessor. Sets the containing class and field properties read from the given accessor.

Parameters:

accessor - the accessor of the element

Returns:

an EserialElement with the above properties

fromAccessorAndValue

public static EserialElement fromAccessorAndValue(Accessor accessor,
                                                  java.lang.Object value)

Constructs an EserialElement with an Accessor and a value. Sets the containing class and field properties read from the given accessor. The accessor and value define the equality between EserialElements when checking for recursion.

Parameters:

accessor - the accessor of the element

value - the value of the element

Returns:

an EserialElement with the above properties

fromContainingClass

public static EserialElement fromContainingClass(java.lang.Class containingClass)

Constructs an EserialElement with only a containing class.

Parameters:

containingClass - the containing class of the element

Returns:

an EserialElement with the given containing class

getAccessor

public Accessor getAccessor()

setAccessor

public void setAccessor(Accessor accessor)

getValue

public java.lang.Object getValue()

setValue

public void setValue(java.lang.Object value)

getContainingClass

public java.lang.Class getContainingClass()

setContainingClass

public void setContainingClass(java.lang.Class containingClass)

getField

public java.lang.reflect.Field getField()

setField

public void setField(java.lang.reflect.Field field)

equalsForRecursion

public boolean equalsForRecursion(java.lang.Object obj)

Parameters:

obj - another object

Returns:

true if all of these is true:

• accessor names are equal
• accessor return types are equal
• accessor declaring classes are equal
• the references of the values are equal
