All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class VetoableChangeSupport

extends Object

implements Serializable

This is a utility class that can be used by beans that support constrained properties. You can use an instance of this class as a member field of your bean and delegate various work to it. This class is serializable. When it is serialized it will save (and restore) any listeners that are themselves serializable. Any non-serializable listeners will be skipped during serialization.

Constructor Detail

 

VetoableChangeSupport

public VetoableChangeSupport(Object sourceBean)

Constructs a VetoableChangeSupport object.

Parameters:

sourceBean - The bean to be given as the source for any events.

Method Detail

 

addVetoableChangeListener

public void addVetoableChangeListener(VetoableChangeListener listener)

Add a VetoableListener to the listener list. The listener is registered for all properties.

Parameters:

listener - The VetoableChangeListener to be added

 

removeVetoableChangeListener

public void removeVetoableChangeListener(VetoableChangeListener listener)

Remove a VetoableChangeListener from the listener list. This removes a VetoableChangeListener that was registered for all properties.

Parameters:

listener - The VetoableChangeListener to be removed

 

getVetoableChangeListeners

public VetoableChangeListener[] getVetoableChangeListeners()

Returns the list of VetoableChangeListeners. If named vetoable change listeners were added, then VetoableChangeListenerProxy wrappers will returned

Returns:

List of VetoableChangeListeners and VetoableChangeListenerProxys if named property change listeners were added.

Since:

1.4

 

addVetoableChangeListener

public void addVetoableChangeListener(String propertyName,
                                      VetoableChangeListener listener)

Add a VetoableChangeListener for a specific property. The listener will be invoked only when a call on fireVetoableChange names that specific property.

Parameters:

propertyName - The name of the property to listen on.

listener - The VetoableChangeListener to be added

 

removeVetoableChangeListener

public void removeVetoableChangeListener(String propertyName,
                                         VetoableChangeListener listener)

Remove a VetoableChangeListener for a specific property.

Parameters:

propertyName - The name of the property that was listened on.

listener - The VetoableChangeListener to be removed

 

getVetoableChangeListeners

public VetoableChangeListener[] getVetoableChangeListeners(String propertyName)

Returns an array of all the listeners which have been associated with the named property.

Returns:

all the VetoableChangeListeners associated with the named property or an empty array if no listeners have been added.

 

fireVetoableChange

public void fireVetoableChange(String propertyName,
                               Object oldValue,
                               Object newValue)
                        throws PropertyVetoException

Report a vetoable property update to any registered listeners. If anyone vetos the change, then fire a new event reverting everyone to the old value and then rethrow the PropertyVetoException.

No event is fired if old and new are equal and non-null.

Parameters:

propertyName - The programmatic name of the property that is about to change..

oldValue - The old value of the property.

newValue - The new value of the property.

Throws:

PropertyVetoException - if the recipient wishes the property change to be rolled back.

 

fireVetoableChange

public void fireVetoableChange(String propertyName,
                               int oldValue,
                               int newValue)
                        throws PropertyVetoException

Report a int vetoable property update to any registered listeners. No event is fired if old and new are equal and non-null.

This is merely a convenience wrapper around the more general fireVetoableChange method that takes Object values.

Parameters:

propertyName - The programmatic name of the property that is about to change.

oldValue - The old value of the property.

newValue - The new value of the property.

PropertyVetoException

 

fireVetoableChange

public void fireVetoableChange(String propertyName,
                               boolean oldValue,
                               boolean newValue)
                        throws PropertyVetoException

Report a boolean vetoable property update to any registered listeners. No event is fired if old and new are equal and non-null.

This is merely a convenience wrapper around the more general fireVetoableChange method that takes Object values.

Parameters:

propertyName - The programmatic name of the property that is about to change.

oldValue - The old value of the property.

newValue - The new value of the property.

PropertyVetoException

 

fireVetoableChange

public void fireVetoableChange(PropertyChangeEvent evt)
                        throws PropertyVetoException

No event is fired if old and new are equal and non-null.

Parameters:

evt - The PropertyChangeEvent to be fired.

Throws:

PropertyVetoException - if the recipient wishes the property change to be rolled back.

 

hasListeners

public boolean hasListeners(String propertyName)

Check if there are any listeners for a specific property.

Parameters:

propertyName - the property name.

Returns:

true if there are one or more listeners for the given property
