public interface GroupAdapterI
extends OntologyMakerI

group adapters originally were groups of fields this is not, but one thing group adapters do is make terms/ontology on the fly - and thats what this does - but it does make ya wanna change the name of GroupAdap if it applies to things that arent even groups of terms maybe TermMaker? theres really 2 things going on - grouping of fields and making of terms - and character template which is a grouping of fields but it makes truncated char lists not terms - but char temp is not a group adapteri but maybe should be? - hmmmm - i think grouping of fields needs to be separated from making of terms and making of characters - i think group adapter should be renamed TermMaker as thats what it is! and config should change with it - maybe call "plugin" in config instead of group? Also im wondering if char change listener and char list change listener should just be replaced with a TermListChange event? to make it more destination oriented and less about the source? a listener just cares if theres new terms - a listener doesnt care if that happened via char list or char change or who knows what also setDestinationField needs to take a list This should be replaced by OntologyMakerI - phase out! thiscould be CharOntMakerI but i dont think thats necasary

Method Summary

CharChangeListener	getCharChangeListener()
CharListChangeListener	getCharListChangeListener()
boolean	hasCharChangeListener() If a group reacts to char changes(edits) then a char change listener should be added, for instance a user edits group fields and dest field is automatically repopulated, otherwise no-op
boolean	hasCharListChangeListener() similar to char change, for doing something on loading data into group, like repopulating dest field, no-op if dont need this
