All Implemented Interfaces:

IDDMSComponent

public final class ExtensibleElement
extends AbstractBaseComponent

An immutable implementation of an element which might fulfill the xs:any space in the Extensible Layer.

In DDMS

2.0

4.0.1/4.1

5.0

Extensible elements must live in any other namespace besides the DDMS XML namespace.

No validation or processing of any kind is performed by DDMSence on extensible attributes, other than the base validation used when loading attributes from an XML file. This class merely exposes a getXOMElementCopy() method which returns a XOM Element that can be manipulated in business-specific ways.

XOM elements can be created as follows:

Element element = new Element("ddmsence:extension", "http://ddmsence.urizone.net/");
element.appendChild("This will be the child text.");

Because it is impossible to cover all of the HTML/Text output cases for ExtensibleElements, DDMSence will simply print out the existence of extensible elements:

Extensible Layer: true
<meta name="extensible.layer" content="true" />


Details about the XOM Element class can be found at: http://www.xom.nu/apidocs/index.html?nu/xom/Element.html

History
In DDMS 2.0, only one element is allowed on the resource. In DDMS 3.0 - 4.1, zero to many may appear. The ExtensibleElement extension point was removed in DDMS 5.0.

Constructor Detail

ExtensibleElement

public ExtensibleElement(nu.xom.Element element)
                  throws InvalidDDMSException

Constructor for creating a component from a XOM Element

Parameters:

element - the XOM element representing this

Throws:

InvalidDDMSException - if any required information is missing or malformed

Method Detail

validate

protected void validate()
                 throws InvalidDDMSException

Description copied from class: AbstractBaseComponent

Base case for validation. This method can be overridden for more in-depth validation. It is always assumed that the subcomponents of a component are already valid.

Overrides:

validate in class AbstractBaseComponent

Throws:

InvalidDDMSException

See Also:

AbstractBaseComponent.validate()

getOutput

public String getOutput(boolean isHTML,
               String prefix,
               String suffix)

Description copied from class: AbstractBaseComponent

Renders this component as HTML or Text, with an optional prefix to nest it.

Specified by:

getOutput in class AbstractBaseComponent

Parameters:

isHTML - true for HTML, false for Text.

prefix - an optional prefix to put on each name.

suffix - an optional suffix to append to each name, such as an index.

Returns:

the HTML or Text representation of this component

See Also:

AbstractBaseComponent.getOutput(boolean, String, String)

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Description copied from class: AbstractBaseComponent

Test for logical equality.

The base case tests against the name value and namespaceURI, as well as any child components classified as "nested components" and any security attributes. Extending classes may require additional rules for equality. This case automatically includes any nested components or security attributes.

Overrides:

equals in class AbstractBaseComponent

See Also:

Object.equals(Object)

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Description copied from class: AbstractBaseComponent

Returns a hashcode for the component.

This automatically includes any nested components or security attributes.

Overrides:

hashCode in class AbstractBaseComponent

See Also:

Object.hashCode()
