Constructor Detail

LinkedPropertyValue

public LinkedPropertyValue(LinkedProperty pProperty,
                           IExecutionContext pContext)

Basic constructor. Calls LinkedPropertyValue(LinkedProperty, EPropertyValueType, IExecutionContext) .

Parameters:

pProperty - the linked property

pContext - the execution context

LinkedPropertyValue

public LinkedPropertyValue(LinkedProperty pProp,
                           EPropertyValueType pType,
                           java.lang.String pResourceIdentifier)

Constructor for a linked property value and a specific resource identifier.

Parameters:

pProp - the linked property

pType - the property type (can be null)

pResourceIdentifier - the resource identifier

LinkedPropertyValue

public LinkedPropertyValue(LinkedProperty pProp,
                           EPropertyValueType pType,
                           IExecutionContext pContext)

Tries to resolve a linked property resource identifier with the given context.

Parameters:

pProp - the linked property

pType - the property type. Must not be null

pContext - the execution context

Method Detail

getValue

public java.lang.String getValue()

Description copied from interface: IPropertyValue

Gets the string value. Does not support linked properties which require a resource identifier to resolve the value.

If the property is of the type ETypes.TEXT_ARRAY this method returns the values of IPropertyValue.getValues() separated by the Property.getStringDelimiterWithoutQuotes() as string.

Specified by:

getValue in interface IPropertyValue

Overrides:

getValue in class PropertyValue

Returns:

the string value

setValue

public void setValue(java.lang.String pValue)

Sets the cached value of this linked property. This does not change the real value of the attribute this property is linked to.

Specified by:

setValue in interface IPropertyValue

Overrides:

setValue in class PropertyValue

Parameters:

pValue - the new cached value

See Also:

getCachedValue(), setLinkedValue(String)

setLinkedValue

public void setLinkedValue(java.lang.String pValue)

Sets the "real" value of the linked property.

Parameters:

pValue - the new value

getCachedValue

public java.lang.String getCachedValue()

Gets the cached value from this linked property.

The cached value of a linked property value is a stored string which does not represent the actual resource value (returned by getValue() ). It can be used by tools e.g. to support UPDATE resource operations by setting the cached value without changing the resource the property is linked to.

Returns:

the cached value

resolveResourceIdentifier

public static java.lang.String resolveResourceIdentifier(LinkedProperty pLinkedProperty,
                                                         IExecutionContext pContext)

Searches a value for the given property in the execution context. This is mainly used for LinkedPropertys which require a resource identifier.

The search order is:

1. Parameter memory
2. Context map

The default value of the property will not be considered.

Parameters:

pLinkedProperty - the linked property

pContext - the execution context

Returns:

the resolved resource identifier or null if it can't be found in the context/memory.

getLabelOrValue

public java.lang.String getLabelOrValue()

Description copied from interface: IPropertyValue

Returns a label for a Property Value, if one was configured or set by a retrieval tool.

If there is no label for this value, the value will be returned.

Specified by:

getLabelOrValue in interface IPropertyValue

Overrides:

getLabelOrValue in class PropertyValue

Returns:

the label for this property or the value, if there is no label
