          <documentation>
              A pattern or base for derived types used to specify complex
              types corresponding to a UML aggregation association. An
              instance of this type serves as a pointer to a remote Object.

Method Detail

getTarget

public QName getTarget()

Returns:

The qualified name of the target for the binding.

getType

public Class getType()

Returns:

The java type this binding maps to.

parse

public Object parse(ElementInstance instance,
                    Node node,
                    Object value)
             throws Exception

Specified by:

parse in interface ComplexBinding

Overrides:

parse in class AbstractComplexBinding

Parameters:

instance - The element being parsed.

node - The node in the parse tree representing the element being parsed.

value - The result of the parse from another strategy in the type hierarchy. Could be null if this is the first strategy being executed.

Returns:

The parsed object, or null if the component could not be parsed.

Throws:

Exception - Strategy objects should not attempt to handle any exceptions.

encode

public Element encode(Object object,
                      Document document,
                      Element value)
               throws Exception

Description copied from class: AbstractComplexBinding

Subclasses should override this method if need be, the default implementation returns value.

Specified by:

encode in interface ComplexBinding

Overrides:

encode in class AbstractComplexBinding

Parameters:

object - The object being encoded.

document - The document containing the encoded element.

value - The object as encoded by the parent binding.

Returns:

The element for the objcet being encoded, or null

Throws:

Exception

Specified by:

getProperty in interface ComplexBinding

Overrides:

getProperty in class AbstractComplexBinding

Parameters:

object - The object being encoded.

name - The name of the property to obtain.
