Class ElicitationMethod

java.lang.Object
  java.awt.Component
      java.awt.Container
          javax.swing.JComponent
              org.sourceforge.espro.elicitation.ElicitationMethod

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.awt.image.ImageObserver, java.awt.MenuContainer, java.io.Serializable, ModelInterface

Direct Known Subclasses:

FunctionalMethod, Message, PieChart, PointMethod

public abstract class ElicitationMethod
extends javax.swing.JComponent
implements ModelInterface

The ElicitationMethod is the superclass of all elicitation methods. If you write a new one you should extend it from this class, in order to make it working. At the moment there is no tutorial available on creating new elicitation methods, so simply ask me at martin.kaffanke@gmx.at

Constructor Detail

ElicitationMethod

protected ElicitationMethod(java.lang.String name,
                            java.lang.String category)

We create an elicitation method by telling it the name and the category where the method belongs to. Normally we do this in the constructor of child classes.

Parameters:

name - The name of the method.

category - The category where this method belongs to.

Method Detail

addPropertyChangeListener

public void addPropertyChangeListener(java.beans.PropertyChangeListener listener)

Adds a generic property change listener.

Specified by:

addPropertyChangeListener in interface ModelInterface

Overrides:

addPropertyChangeListener in class java.awt.Container

Parameters:

listener - The listener.

addPropertyChangeListener

public void addPropertyChangeListener(java.lang.String propertyName,
                                      java.beans.PropertyChangeListener listener)

Adds a specific property change listener for the given property name.

Specified by:

addPropertyChangeListener in interface ModelInterface

Overrides:

addPropertyChangeListener in class java.awt.Container

Parameters:

propertyName - The name of the property.

listener - The listener.

getCategory

public java.lang.String getCategory()

Returns the category of the method.

Returns:

The category.

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Returns the name of the method.

Overrides:

getName in class java.awt.Component

Returns:

The name.

isEdit

public boolean isEdit()

DOCUMENT ME!

Returns:

DOCUMENT ME!

isFrozen

public boolean isFrozen()

DOCUMENT ME!

Returns:

DOCUMENT ME!

removePropertyChangeListener

public void removePropertyChangeListener(java.beans.PropertyChangeListener listener)

Removes a property change listener which was registered for all properties.

Specified by:

removePropertyChangeListener in interface ModelInterface

Overrides:

removePropertyChangeListener in class java.awt.Component

Parameters:

listener - The listener to remove.

removePropertyChangeListener

public void removePropertyChangeListener(java.lang.String property,
                                         java.beans.PropertyChangeListener listener)

DOCUMENT ME!

Overrides:

removePropertyChangeListener in class java.awt.Component

Parameters:

property - DOCUMENT ME!

listener - DOCUMENT ME!

setEdit

public void setEdit(boolean edit)

DOCUMENT ME!

Parameters:
