Interface Summary

CharListChangeListener
Constraint
DataAdapterI	I think this should be renamed FileAdapterI, except i dont know how the integrated adpaters are going to pan out - ie birn - we'll see
GroupAdapterI	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
LoadSaveListener
OntologyMakerI	A TermMaker is a "plugin" that can be used to make terms dynamically.
QueryableDataAdapterI

Class Summary

AbstractCommitConstraint
AbstractFileAdapter
AbstractGroupAdapter
AllFieldsGroupAdapter
CharacterListManager	Contains current CharacterList.
CharListChangeEvent	this is for dataloading - contains the newly loaded char list - not necasarily for changes to char list hmm....
ConstraintManager	ConstraintManager holds all constraints.
ConstraintStatus	A constraint returns creates & returns one of these, says whether contraint checks out ok and gives error message A constraintStatus is recursive - it can hold ConstraintStatus kids - so if theres a list of constraints all their status is returned in one ConstraintStatus
LoadSaveManager	This was formerly just for files - adding in queryable/database data adapters
OntologyDataAdapter	is this really a data adapter? - OntologyLoader? this isnt a data adapter it doesnt load & commit character data - just loads ontologies.
OntologyDataAdapter2	is this really a data adapter? - OntologyLoader? this isnt a data adapter it doesnt load & commit character data - just loads ontologies.
OntologyMaker
RequiredFieldConstraint	Commit Constraint that checks that field has a value, if not returns FAILURE status
ScratchGroup	Manages title and ID (group name) for a scratch group.
ScratchGroupsManager	Manages group names and component factories for temporary collections of characters (scratch groups).
