All Implemented Interfaces:

ComponentType, Serializable

public class ModuleType

extends Object

implements ComponentType, Serializable

This class represents a module type, e.g, Shape. There is only one object instantiated for each module type. The static getModuleType() method is used to retrieve it. This class is implemented this way because otherwise there could be conceivably thousands of extra objects instantiated which would serve no useful purpose.

Field Detail

hm

private static HashMap hm

The key is the simple name or full name, the value is the ModuleType object.

simple

private String simple

The simple name, e.g, Shape.

full

private String full

The full name, e.g, org.moyoman.module.shape.Shape

Constructor Detail

ModuleType

protected ModuleType(String s,
                     String f)

Create the ModuleType object without any error checking. This would be used by ModuleConfig when a new ModuleType is being created, and so error checking could not be done.

Parameters:

s - The simple module type name

f - The full module type name.

Method Detail

getModuleType

public static ModuleType getModuleType(String type)
                                throws NoSuchDataException

Create the ModuleType object.

Parameters:

type - The name of the type. Shape, or org.moyoman.module.shape.Shape are acceptable.

Throws:

NoSuchDataException - Thrown if there is no corresponding module type.

getFullName

public String getFullName()

Return the full type, e.g, org.moyoman.module.shape.Shape.

Returns:

The full type name.

getSimpleName

public String getSimpleName()

Return the interface name, e.g, Shape.

Returns:

The interface name.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Get a hash code for the object.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

An int which is the hash code.

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Compare this object with another one for equality.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

o - The object being compared with this one.

Returns:

true if the two objects are the same, or false.

toString

public String toString()

Return a representation of this object as a String.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

A String object which represents this object.
