Direct Known Subclasses:

DocumentSummaryInformation, SummaryInformation

public abstract class SpecialPropertySet
extends MutablePropertySet

Abstract superclass for the convenience classes SummaryInformation and DocumentSummaryInformation.

The motivation behind this class is quite nasty if you look behind the scenes, but it serves the application programmer well by providing him with the easy-to-use SummaryInformation and DocumentSummaryInformation classes. When parsing the data a property set stream consists of (possibly coming from an InputStream) we want to read and process each byte only once. Since we don't know in advance which kind of property set we have, we can expect only the most general PropertySet. Creating a special subclass should be as easy as calling the special subclass' constructor and pass the general PropertySet in. To make things easy internally, the special class just holds a reference to the general PropertySet and delegates all method calls to it.

A cleaner implementation would have been like this: The PropertySetFactory parses the stream data into some internal object first. Then it finds out whether the stream is a SummaryInformation, a DocumentSummaryInformation or a general PropertySet. However, the current implementation went the other way round historically: the convenience classes came only late to my mind.

getProperties

public Property[] getProperties()
                         throws NoSingleSectionException

Description copied from class: PropertySet

Convenience method returning the Property array contained in this property set. It is a shortcut for getting the PropertySet's Sections list and then getting the Property array from the first Section.

                      throws NoSingleSectionException

Description copied from class: PropertySet

Convenience method returning the value of the property with the specified ID. If the property is not available, null is returned and a subsequent call to PropertySet.wasNull() will return true .

Overrides:

getProperty in class PropertySet

Parameters:

id - The property ID

Returns:

The property value

Throws:

NoSingleSectionException - if the PropertySet has more or less than one Section.

See Also:

PropertySet.getProperty(int)

getPropertyBooleanValue

protected boolean getPropertyBooleanValue(int id)
                                   throws NoSingleSectionException

Description copied from class: PropertySet

Convenience method returning the value of a boolean property with the specified ID. If the property is not available, false is returned. A subsequent call to PropertySet.wasNull() will return true to let the caller distinguish that case from a real property value of false.

Overrides:

getPropertyBooleanValue in class PropertySet

Parameters:

id - The property ID

Returns:

The property value

Throws:

NoSingleSectionException - if the PropertySet has more or less than one Section.

See Also:

PropertySet.getPropertyBooleanValue(int)

getPropertyIntValue

protected int getPropertyIntValue(int id)
                           throws NoSingleSectionException

Description copied from class: PropertySet

Convenience method returning the value of the numeric property with the specified ID. If the property is not available, 0 is returned. A subsequent call to PropertySet.wasNull() will return true to let the caller distinguish that case from a real property value of 0.

Overrides:

getPropertyIntValue in class PropertySet

Parameters:

id - The property ID

Returns:

The propertyIntValue value

Throws:

NoSingleSectionException - if the PropertySet has more or less than one Section.

See Also:

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class PropertySet

See Also:

PropertySet.toString()

wasNull

public boolean wasNull()
                throws NoSingleSectionException

Description copied from class: PropertySet

Checks whether the property which the last call to PropertySet.getPropertyIntValue(int) or PropertySet.getProperty(int) tried to access was available or not. This information might be important for callers of PropertySet.getPropertyIntValue(int) since the latter returns 0 if the property does not exist. Using PropertySet.wasNull(), the caller can distiguish this case from a property's real value of 0.

Overrides:

wasNull in class PropertySet

Returns:

true if the last call to PropertySet.getPropertyIntValue(int) or PropertySet.getProperty(int) tried to access a property that was not available, else false.

Throws:

NoSingleSectionException - if the PropertySet has more than one Section.
