Method Detail- 
definePropertyDescriptorvoid definePropertyDescriptor(PropertyDescriptor<?> propertyDescriptor) throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException Define a new property via a PropertyDescriptor.- Parameters:
- propertyDescriptor- The property descriptor.
- Throws:
- java.lang.IllegalArgumentException- If there is already a property defined the same name.
 
 - 
getPropertyDescriptorPropertyDescriptor<?> getPropertyDescriptor(java.lang.String name) Get the PropertyDescriptor for the given property name.- Parameters:
- name- The name of the property.
- Returns:
- The PropertyDescriptor for the named property, nullif there is no such property defined.
 
 - 
getPropertyDescriptorsjava.util.List<PropertyDescriptor<?>> getPropertyDescriptors() Get the PropertyDescriptors for all defined properties. The properties are returned sorted by UI order.- Returns:
- The PropertyDescriptors in UI order.
 
 - 
getProperty<T> T getProperty(PropertyDescriptor<T> propertyDescriptor) Get the typed value for the given property. Multi valued properties return immutable lists.- Type Parameters:
- T- The underlying type of the property descriptor.
- Parameters:
- propertyDescriptor- The property descriptor.
- Returns:
- The property value.
 
 - 
setProperty<T> void setProperty(PropertyDescriptor<T> propertyDescriptor, T value) Set the property value specified (will be type-checked)- Type Parameters:
- T- The underlying type of the property descriptor.
- Parameters:
- propertyDescriptor- The property descriptor.
- value- The value to set.
 
 - 
setProperty<V> void setProperty(MultiValuePropertyDescriptor<V> propertyDescriptor, V... values) Sets the value of a multi value property descriptor with a variable number of arguments.- Type Parameters:
- V- The type of the values
- Parameters:
- propertyDescriptor- The property descriptor for which to add a value
- values- Values
 
 - 
getPropertiesByPropertyDescriptorjava.util.Map<PropertyDescriptor<?>,java.lang.Object> getPropertiesByPropertyDescriptor() Returns all the current property values for the receiver or an immutable empty map if none are specified.- Returns:
- all current property values or a empty map.
 
 - 
hasDescriptorboolean hasDescriptor(PropertyDescriptor<?> descriptor) Returns whether this Rule has the specified PropertyDescriptor.- Parameters:
- descriptor- The PropertyDescriptor for which to check.
- Returns:
- boolean trueif the descriptor is present,falseotherwise.
 
 - 
usesDefaultValuesboolean usesDefaultValues() Returns whether this Rule uses default values for properties.- Returns:
- boolean trueif the properties all have default values,falseotherwise.
 
 - 
useDefaultValueForvoid useDefaultValueFor(PropertyDescriptor<?> desc) Clears out any user-specified value for the property allowing it to use the default value in the descriptor.- Parameters:
- desc- the property to clear out
 
 - 
ignoredPropertiesjava.util.Set<PropertyDescriptor<?>> ignoredProperties() Return the properties that are effectively ignored due to the configuration of the rule and values held by other properties. This can be used to disable corresponding widgets in a UI.- Returns:
- the properties that are ignored
 
 - 
dysfunctionReasonjava.lang.String dysfunctionReason() Returns a description of why the receiver may be dysfunctional. Usually due to missing property values or some kind of conflict between values. Returns null if the receiver is ok.- Returns:
- String
