Field Detail

objectType

public static final java.lang.String objectType

"Object" (Subclasses will override) The generic object type supported by this Agent helper class. The generic object type is that returned by GuiClassData.getGenericObjectType. Example: Component Button Table etc..

See Also:

GuiClassData.getGenericObjectType(String)

OBJECT_PROPERTIES

public static final java.lang.String[] OBJECT_PROPERTIES

Array of property names specific to Object types.

0. class ---- the class name
1. hashCode - the hashCode

Subclasses will have additional property names in other named arrays. The full set of property names is received with a call to getPropertyNames();

See Also:

getPropertyNames(Object)

factory

protected LocalAgentFactory factory

LocalAgentFactoryUser implementation. storage for LocalAgentFactory that instanced us.

alternateAncestorClassname

protected java.lang.String alternateAncestorClassname

AlternateAncestorUser implementation. Subclasses can specify the fullclassname of an alternate LocalAgent instance that should be used to satisfy "super.process()" calls instead of the class's true superclass ancestor. For example, org.safs.abbot.JFrameAgent might specify "org.safs.abbot.FrameAgent" as the chosen LocalAgent to handle unknown actions instead of its true superclass "org.safs.jvmagent.JFrameAgent". If no alternate processAncestor is specified then the true superclass is used when forwarding process calls.

                              java.lang.String thePath)

Description copied from interface: LocalAgent

Mechanism to determine if the object contains a subitem/object identified by the provided Path. Path is hierarchical information showing parent->child relationships separated by '->'. This is often used in Menus and Trees.

Ex:

File->Exit
Root->Branch->Leaf

Specified by:

isMatchingPath in interface LocalAgent

Parameters:

object - -- the actual object or component to be checked -- not a pseudo reference.

thePath -

Returns:

false

See Also:

Description copied from interface: LocalAgent

Return whatever data is extractable (normally visible) from the object. Some objects like Lists may only require 1D of the 2D array. Some objects like Tables will use the full 2D array. Objects like Trees may use special techniques of storing their multi-dimensional data in the 2D array.

Specified by:

getStringData in interface LocalAgent

Parameters:

object - -- the actual object or component to be checked -- not a pseudo reference.

dataInfo -

Returns:

new String[0][0]

See Also:

LocalAgent.getStringData(Object, Object)

setLocalAgentFactory

public void setLocalAgentFactory(LocalAgentFactory factory)

LocalAgentFactoryUser Interface. Set the LocalAgentFactory used by the class instance. This is normally set by the LocalAgentFactory itself when the User is instanced.

Specified by:

setLocalAgentFactory in interface LocalAgentFactoryUser

getLocalAgentFactory

public LocalAgentFactory getLocalAgentFactory()

LocalAgentFactoryUser Interface. Retrieve any LocalAgentFactory set for this object. May be null if not set.

Specified by:

getLocalAgentFactory in interface LocalAgentFactoryUser

getAlternateAncestor

public LocalAgent getAlternateAncestor()

AlternateAncestorUser interface.

Specified by:

getAlternateAncestor in interface AlternateAncestorUser

setAlternateAncestor

public void setAlternateAncestor(LocalAgent ancestor)

AlternateAncestorUser interface.

Specified by:

setAlternateAncestor in interface AlternateAncestorUser

getAlternateAncestorClassname

public java.lang.String getAlternateAncestorClassname()

AlternateAncestorUser interface.

Specified by:

getAlternateAncestorClassname in interface AlternateAncestorUser

setAlternateAncestorClassname

public void setAlternateAncestorClassname(java.lang.String ancestorClassname)

AlternateAncestorUser interface.

Specified by:

setAlternateAncestorClassname in interface AlternateAncestorUser

getAncestorAgent

protected LocalAgent getAncestorAgent()

Used internally by processAncestor and subclasses to attempt to retrieve the alternateAncestor locally or via any stored LocalAgentFactory.

Returns:

LocalAgent alternateAncestor stored or retrieved from the LocalAgentFactory or a null if not set or available.

process

public void process(java.lang.Object object,
                    TestRecordData testRecordData)

Process the action provided in the testRecordData. Subclasses will override this method as necessary.

Subclasses in the org.safs.jvmagent package should always attempt to processAncestor if they themselves do not handle the command in the testRecordData. This is shown below: if (testRecordData.getStatusCode() == StatusCodes.SCRIPT_NOT_EXECUTED) processAncestor(object, testRecordData); Subclasses in other packages like org.safs.abbot should typically always call super.process() if they themselves do not handle the command in the testRecordData. This is shown below: if (testRecordData.getStatusCode() == StatusCodes.SCRIPT_NOT_EXECUTED) super.process(object, testRecordData); In this way, the proper order of processing in-package classes and superclasses is maintained.

An Agent may throw various types of Agent-specific RuntimeExceptions depending upon failure modes.

Specified by:

process in interface LocalAgent

Parameters:

testRecordData - provides all the information needed by the Agent to perform the action and to get/set the process statuscode.

processAncestor

public void processAncestor(java.lang.Object object,
                            TestRecordData testRecordData)

Attempts to retrieve the alternateAncestor if defined and execute process on that. If no alternate ancestor is found then we simply exit without modifying anything.

Specified by:

processAncestor in interface AlternateAncestorUser
