Constructor Detail

AbstractInitializableAttribute

public AbstractInitializableAttribute(NamedObj container,
                                      java.lang.String name)
                               throws IllegalActionException,
                                      NameDuplicationException

Construct an instance of the attribute.

Parameters:

container - The container.

name - The name.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the superclass throws it.

NameDuplicationException - If the superclass throws it.

Method Detail

addInitializable

public void addInitializable(Initializable initializable)

Add the specified object to the set of objects whose preinitialize(), initialize(), and wrapup() methods should be invoked upon invocation of the corresponding methods of this object.

Specified by:

addInitializable in interface Initializable

Parameters:

initializable - The object whose methods should be invoked.

See Also:

removeInitializable(Initializable)

clone

public java.lang.Object clone(Workspace workspace)
                       throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

Clone the attribute. This clears the list of initializable objects.

Overrides:

clone in class Attribute

Parameters:

workspace - The workspace in which to place the cloned attribute.

Returns:

The cloned variable.

Throws:

java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException - Not thrown in this base class.

See Also:

Object.clone()

hierarchyChanged

public void hierarchyChanged()
                      throws IllegalActionException

Notify this object that the containment hierarchy above it has changed. This method does nothing because instead we use preinitialize() to handle re-establishing the connections.

Specified by:

hierarchyChanged in interface HierarchyListener

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the change is not acceptable.

hierarchyWillChange

public void hierarchyWillChange()
                         throws IllegalActionException

Notify this object that the containment hierarchy above it will be changed.

Specified by:

hierarchyWillChange in interface HierarchyListener

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If unlinking to a published port fails.

initialize

public void initialize()
                throws IllegalActionException

Invoke initialize() on registered initializables.

Specified by:

initialize in interface Initializable

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If thrown by a subclass.

preinitialize

public void preinitialize()
                   throws IllegalActionException

Invoke preinitialize() on registered initializables.

Specified by:

preinitialize in interface Initializable

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If thrown by a subclass.

removeInitializable

public void removeInitializable(Initializable initializable)

Remove the specified object from the list of objects whose preinitialize(), initialize(), and wrapup() methods should be invoked upon invocation of the corresponding methods of this object. If the specified object is not on the list, do nothing.

Specified by:

removeInitializable in interface Initializable

Parameters:

initializable - The object whose methods should no longer be invoked.

See Also:

addInitializable(Initializable)

setContainer

public void setContainer(NamedObj container)
                  throws IllegalActionException,
                         NameDuplicationException

Override the base class to register as an Initializable so that preinitialize() is invoked, and as a HierarchyListener, so that we are notified of changes in the hierarchy above.

Overrides:

setContainer in class Attribute

Parameters:

container - The proposed container.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the action would result in a recursive containment structure, or if this entity and container are not in the same workspace.

NameDuplicationException - If the container already has an entity with the name of this entity.

See Also:

Attribute.getContainer()

wrapup

public void wrapup()
            throws IllegalActionException

Invoke wrapup() on registered initializables.

Specified by:

wrapup in interface Initializable

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If thrown by a subclass.

_getInitializableContainer

protected Initializable _getInitializableContainer()

Return the first Initializable encountered above this in the hierarchy that will be initialized (i.e., it is either an atomic actor or an opaque composite actor).

Returns:

The first Initializable above this in the hierarchy, or null if there is none.
