Class LinkableBase

java.lang.Object
  org.jibx.binding.def.PassThroughComponent
      org.jibx.binding.def.LinkableBase

All Implemented Interfaces:

IComponent, ILinkable

Direct Known Subclasses:

MappingBase

public abstract class LinkableBase
extends PassThroughComponent

Base class for components that can be linked from multiple locations within the binding definition structure. The implemented basic behavior is a simple pass-through component, with the addition of recursion checking during the linking phase.

Constructor Detail

LinkableBase

protected LinkableBase()

No argument constructor. This requires the component to be set later, using the PassThroughComponent.setWrappedComponent(org.jibx.binding.def.IComponent) method.

LinkableBase

public LinkableBase(IComponent wrap)

Constructor.

Parameters:

wrap - wrapped binding component

Method Detail

handleRecursion

protected void handleRecursion()

Handler for recursion. If recursion is found during linking this method will be called. The base class implementation does nothing, but may be overridden by subclases to implement the appropriate behavior.

isLinked

protected boolean isLinked()

Check if linkage processing for this component is complete.

Returns:

true if complete, false if not

setLinkages

public void setLinkages()
                 throws JiBXException

Description copied from interface: ILinkable

Establish and validate linkages between binding components. This is called after the basic binding structures have been set up. All linkages between components must be resolved by this method, in order to prevent problems due to the order of definitions between components. This implies that each component must in turn call the same method for each child component. None of the other method calls defined by this interface are valid until after this call.

Specified by:

setLinkages in interface ILinkable

Overrides:

setLinkages in class PassThroughComponent

Throws:

JiBXException - if error in configuration

print

public void print(int depth)

Specified by:

print in interface IComponent

Overrides:

print in class PassThroughComponent
