Constructor Details

StructuredVariable

protected StructuredVariable(IConfigurationElement parent,
 AbstractVariable varDeclaration,
 boolean isVisible,
 boolean isAttribute)

Sole constructor for this class.

Parameters:

parent - the parent this variable is part of, typically the Configuration instance, but in case of compounds/container also the containing IDecisionVariable

varDeclaration - the variable declaration instantiated by this decision

isVisible - Specifies whether this variables is exported by an interface or not:

• true: The variable is exported by an interface or there is no interface.
• false: There is an interface which does not export this variable.

isAttribute - whether this variable represents (a part of) an attribute or a variable

Method Details

allowsNestedStates

abstract boolean allowsNestedStates()

Returns whether this variable support individual states for nested items.

Returns:

true if nested items can have their own states, otherwise false.
