Class ZProperty

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--edu.umd.cs.jazz.util.ZProperty

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, ZSerializable

public class ZProperty

extends java.lang.Object

implements ZSerializable, java.io.Serializable

ZProperty represents a ZNode client property. It just encapsulates a (key, value) pair, and supports ZSerialization.

Warning: Serialized and ZSerialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Jazz releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Jazz. A future release of Jazz will provide support for long term persistence.

ZProperty

public ZProperty()

Create an empty ZProperty.

ZProperty

public ZProperty(java.lang.Object key,
                 java.lang.Object value)

Create a ZProperty with the specified (key, value) pair

Parameters:

key - the new property key

value - the new property value

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Duplicates this property by using the copy constructor. See the copy constructor comments for complete information about what is duplicated.

Overrides:

clone in class java.lang.Object

set

public void set(java.lang.Object key,
                java.lang.Object value)

Set the (key, value) pair stored in this property

Parameters:

key - the new property key

value - the new property value

getKey

public java.lang.Object getKey()

Determine the key of this property.

Returns:

the property key

getValue

public java.lang.Object getValue()

Determine the value of this property.

Returns:

the property value

setKey

public void setKey(java.lang.Object key)

Specify the key of this property.

Parameters:

key - the new property key

setValue

public void setValue(java.lang.Object value)

Specify the value of this property.

Parameters:

value - the new property value

updateObjectReferences

public void updateObjectReferences(ZObjectReferenceTable objRefTable)

Update object references after a clone.

ZSceneGraphObject.updateObjectReferences(edu.umd.cs.jazz.util.ZObjectReferenceTable)

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Generate a string that represents this object for debugging.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

the string that represents this object for debugging

writeObject

public void writeObject(ZObjectOutputStream out)
                 throws java.io.IOException

Write out all of this object's state.

Specified by:

writeObject in interface ZSerializable

Parameters:

out - The stream that this object writes into

java.io.IOException

writeObjectRecurse

public void writeObjectRecurse(ZObjectOutputStream out)
                        throws java.io.IOException

Specify which objects this object references in order to write out the scenegraph properly

Specified by:

writeObjectRecurse in interface ZSerializable

Parameters:

out - The stream that this object writes into

java.io.IOException

setState

public void setState(java.lang.String fieldType,
                     java.lang.String fieldName,
                     java.lang.Object fieldValue)

Set some state of this object as it gets read back in. After the object is created with its default no-arg constructor, this method will be called on the object once for each bit of state that was written out through calls to ZObjectOutputStream.writeState() within the writeObject method.

Specified by:

setState in interface ZSerializable

Parameters:

fieldType - The fully qualified type of the field

fieldName - The name of the field

fieldValue - The value of the field
