UNREADABLE

public static final Object UNREADABLE

Used to indicate that a particular value is unreadable.

Constructor Details

PropertyStateEvent

public PropertyStateEvent(Property sourceProperty,
 Object sourceObject,
 boolean valueChanged,
 Object oldValue,
 Object newValue,
 boolean writeableChanged,
 boolean isWriteable)

Creates an instance of PropertyStateEvent characterizing a change in a Property's state for a particular source object.

Note: To indicate a change in readability, specify valueChanged as true and reflect the readability status in the oldValue and newValue arguments.

Parameters:

sourceProperty - the Property whose state has changed

sourceObject - the source object for which the Property's state has changed

valueChanged - whether or not the Property's value has changed for the source object

oldValue - the old value of the Property for the source object, or UNREADABLE if the Property was not previously readable for the source object

newValue - the new value of the Property for the source object, or UNREADABLE if the Property is not currently readable for the source object

writeableChanged - whether or not the Property's writeability has changed for the source object

isWriteable - whether or not the Property is now writeable for the source object

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if neither the value or the writeability has changed

IllegalArgumentException - if valueChanged is true and both oldValue and newValue are UNREADABLE

Method Details

getSource

public final Object getSource()

Returns the Property whose state has changed. The preferred way to access this value is via the getSourceProperty() method.

Overrides:

getSource in class EventObject

Returns:

the Property whose state has changed.

getSourceProperty

public final Property getSourceProperty()

Returns the Property whose state has changed.

Returns:

the Property whose state has changed.

getSourceObject

public final Object getSourceObject()

Returns the source object for which the Property's state has changed.

Returns:

the source object for which the Property's state has changed

getValueChanged

public final boolean getValueChanged()

Returns whether or not the Property's value has changed for the source object.

Returns:

whether or not the Property's value has changed for the source object.

getOldValue

public final Object getOldValue()

Returns the old value of the Property for the source object, or UNREADABLE if the Property was not previously readable for the source object.

Note: This method must only be called if getValueChanged returns true.

Returns:

the old value of the Property for the source object or UNREADABLE

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if the value hasn't changed

getNewValue

public final Object getNewValue()

Returns the new value of the Property for the source object, or UNREADABLE if the Property is not currently readable for the source object.

Note: This method must only be called if getValueChanged returns true.

Returns:

the new value of the Property for the source object or UNREADABLE

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if the value hasn't changed

getReadableChanged

public final boolean getReadableChanged()

Returns whether or not the Property's readability has changed for the source object. In particuler, this returns true if the value has changed and either the old value or new value is UNREADABLE, and false otherwise.

Returns:

whether or not the Property's readability has changed for the source object.

isReadable

public final boolean isReadable()

Returns whether or not the Property is currently readable for the source object. In particular, this returns true if and only if the new value is not UNREADABLE.

Note: This method must only be called if getReadableChanged returns true.

Returns:

whether or not the Property is currently readable for the source object.

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if the readability hasn't changed

getWriteableChanged

public final boolean getWriteableChanged()

Returns whether or not the Property's writeability has changed for the source object.

Returns:

whether or not the Property's writeability has changed for the source object.

isWriteable

public final boolean isWriteable()

Returns whether or not the Property is currently writeable for the source object.

Note: This method must only be called if getWriteableChanged returns true.

Returns:

whether or not the Property is currently writeable for the source object.

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if the writeability hasn't changed

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string representation of the PropertyStateEvent. This method is intended to be used for debugging purposes only, and the content and format of the returned string may vary between implementations. The returned string may be empty but may not be null.

Overrides:

toString in class EventObject

Returns:

a string representation of this PropertyStateEvent
