element - Root of the XML DOM tree to construct a model object graph from.

model - Handler for the OME model which keeps track of instances and references seen during object population.

Throws:

EnumerationException - If there is an error instantiating an enumeration during model object creation.

Method Detail

update

public void update(Element element,
          OMEModel model)
            throws EnumerationException

Updates MetadataOnly recursively from an XML DOM tree. NOTE: No properties are removed, only added or updated.

Specified by:

update in interface OMEModelObject

Overrides:

update in class AbstractOMEModelObject

Parameters:

element - Root of the XML DOM tree to construct a model object graph from.

model - Handler for the OME model which keeps track of instances and references seen during object population.

Throws:

EnumerationException - If there is an error instantiating an enumeration during model object creation.

link

public boolean link(Reference reference,
           OMEModelObject o)

Description copied from interface: OMEModelObject

Link a given OME model object to this model object.

Specified by:

link in interface OMEModelObject

Overrides:

link in class AbstractOMEModelObject

Parameters:

reference - The type qualifier for the reference. This should be the corresponding reference type for o. If, for example, o is of type Image, reference MUST be of type ImageRef.

o - Model object to link to.

Returns:

true if this model object was able to handle the reference, false otherwise.

asXMLElement

asXMLElement in class AbstractOMEModelObject

Parameters:

document - Destination document for element creation, etc.

Returns:

XML DOM tree root element for this model object.

asXMLElement

protected Element asXMLElement(Document document,
                   Element MetadataOnly_element)

Description copied from class: AbstractOMEModelObject

Takes the entire object hierarchy and produced an XML DOM tree taking into account class hierarchy.

Overrides:

asXMLElement in class AbstractOMEModelObject

Parameters:

document - Destination document for element creation, etc.

MetadataOnly_element - Element from the subclass. If null a new element will be created of this class.

Returns:
