Class Character

java.lang.Object
  phenote.datamodel.AbstractCharacter
      phenote.datamodel.Character

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.awt.datatransfer.Transferable, CharacterI

public class Character
extends AbstractCharacter
implements CharacterI

The Character datamodel is a generic hash of CharField-CharFieldValues CharFieldValues are free text or from ontologies This is the straightontabular implementation of CharacterI In the table view a character represents a row

Fields inherited from interface phenote.datamodel.CharacterI

CHAR_FLAVOR

Constructor Summary

Character()
should only be constructed from factory

Method Summary

CharacterI	cloneCharacter()
java.util.List<CharField>	getAllCharFields() return all char fields configured, both currently used or null in char
CharField	getCharFieldForName(java.lang.String fieldName)
CharFieldValue	getValue(CharField cf) generic getter - getting single value or 1st item of list
java.util.List<CharFieldValue>	getValueList(CharField cf) im wondering if a better way is to make CFVs recursive, so a CFV can be a list of CFV's - that might be easier - not sure
java.lang.String	getValueString(CharField cf) returns string for charfield value of char field, no matter what type, return "" if null value?? throw ex? used for sorting CharList this returns names not ids for terms
java.lang.String	getValueString(java.lang.String field) throws exception if field doesnt exist
boolean	hasNoContent() returns true if all non-auto-generated fields have no value.
boolean	hasValue(CharField cf) return false if getValue is null or isEmpty
boolean	hasValue(java.lang.String fieldName)
void	setValue(CharField cf, CharFieldValue cfv) for generic fields its just a map from char field to char field value
boolean	supportsComparisons() Returns true if charI implementation supports comparisons, eg Character doesnt AnnotChar does, this can return true even if hasComparison is false
java.lang.String	toString()

Method Detail

setValue

public void setValue(CharField cf,
                     CharFieldValue cfv)

for generic fields its just a map from char field to char field value

Specified by:

setValue in interface CharacterI

generic getter - getting single value or 1st item of list

Specified by:

getValue in interface CharacterI
