Constructor Detail

Attribute

Attribute(Configuration parent,
          IDecisionVariable attribute,
          IVariableFilter filter)

Creates a new attribute instance.

Parameters:

parent - the parent configuration

attribute - the IVML attribute

filter - the variable filter to apply

Method Detail

initializeAttributes

protected void initializeAttributes()

Description copied from class: IvmlElement

Lazily initializes the attributes.

Specified by:

initializeAttributes in class IvmlElement

getAttribute

Attribute getAttribute(int index)

Returns the specified attribute.

Specified by:

getAttribute in class IvmlElement

Parameters:

index - the 0-based index of the attribute to return

Returns:

the specified attribute

Throws:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if index < 0 || index >= getAttributeCount()

getAttributeCount

int getAttributeCount()

Returns the number of attributes.

Specified by:

getAttributeCount in class IvmlElement

Returns:

the number of attributes

variables

public Sequence<DecisionVariable> variables()

Description copied from class: AbstractIvmlVariable

Returns the decision variables contained in this variable. This shall be a sequence to implicitly handle IVML sequences. Primitive values may be obtained using the getter methods. Complex values such as compounds or containers may be accessed via AbstractIvmlVariable.variables().

Overrides:

variables in class AbstractIvmlVariable

Returns:

the decision variables (unmodifiable)

attributes

public Set<Attribute> attributes()

Description copied from class: AbstractIvmlVariable

Returns the annotations for this variable.

Specified by:

attributes in class AbstractIvmlVariable

Returns:

the decision variables

annotations

public Set<Attribute> annotations()

Description copied from class: AbstractIvmlVariable

Returns the annotations for this variable.

Specified by:

annotations in class AbstractIvmlVariable

Returns:

the decision variables

Conversion operation to String.

Parameters:

val - the value (variable) to be converted

Returns:

the converted value (may be null, depends on the type of the attribute)

convert2EnumValue

public static EnumValue convert2EnumValue(Attribute val)

Conversion operation to an EnumValue.

Parameters:

val - the value (variable) to be converted

Returns:

the converted value (may be null, depends on the type of the attribute)

convert2Sequence
