public class Identifier extends NamedType implements Serializable, Comparable

  • Constructor Details

    • Identifier

      public Identifier()
      The default constructor. Creates a new Identifier with a null path String, null HecFile, directory flag set to false, a name set to "Untitled", and a description set to "Undescribed".

    • Identifier

      public Identifier(String path)
      Creates a new Identifier based on the default constructor. This identifier sets it's path String to the argument path String. This constructor does not create a HecFile around the path, getFile() will return null.

    • Identifier

      public Identifier(String path, HecFile file)
      Creates a new Identifier based on the default constructor. The Identifier's HecFile is set to the argument HecFile. The Identifier's path String is set to the argument path String.

    • Identifier

      public Identifier(Identifier argId)
      Creates a new Identifier based on the default constructor. The new Identifier's data members are then copied from the argument identifier.

  • Method Details

    • instantiateRmiFile

      public static Object instantiateRmiFile(Identifier id, String extension, Object[] constructorArgs)

    • copy

      public void copy(Identifier argId)
      Copies all of the argument Identifer's values to this Identifer.

    • setFile

      public void setFile(HecFile file)
      Sets the Identifier's HecFile to the argument HecFile. If getName() returns hec.lang.NamedType's defaultName, then sameName is called with the HecFile's getName() as the argument.
      Parameters:
      file -

    • setPath

      public void setPath(String path)
      Sets the Identifier's path String to the argument path Strin

    • getPath

      public String getPath()
      Returns a String describing the Identifier's path

      Returns:

    • getFile

      public HecFile getFile()
      Returns the Identfier's HecFile.

    • toString

      public String toString()
      Returns the Identifier's name. This method is being used for Swing Classes where you can supply a Swing Component with either an Object[] or a Vector of objects. The component Identifies the Object to the user by calling toString() on the Object. For example - if you create a JList using a Vector of Identifiers, the JList will show the Identifier's names in its listing.
