All Implemented Interfaces:

public class AndConditionImpl
extends AbstractCondition
implements Condition

An AndConditionImpl represents a list of Syntaxable instances of which all are be parsed successfully when the Syntaxables' Syntaxable.parseArgs(String[]) methods are invoked. The command line arguments syntax -a & -b & -c specifies that all "-a", "-b" and "-c" must be set. In case at least one is not set, then the AndConditionImpl will terminate the parseArgs(String[]) method with an exception.

Description copied from interface: Syntaxable

Parses the provided command line arguments and determines the according values by evaluating this Syntaxable instance or, in case of being a node in the syntax tree (such as a Condition, traversing the child Syntaxable instances' Syntaxable.parseArgs(String[]) methods. In case of successfully parsing this Syntaxable and / or the child Syntaxable instances, the evaluated command line arguments are returned: Depending on the Syntaxable subclasses representing the evaluated command line arguments, instances of Switch classes, Option classes or Operand classes may be found in the result. In case of parsing failure, an according exception is thrown. ATTENTION: This method does not test for superfluous command line arguments being passed; e.g. command line arguments not being evaluated by any of the Syntaxable instance being traversed. This method is commonly used by a root Syntaxable's ArgsParser.evalArgs(String[]) method, which delegates to the Syntaxable.parseArgs(String[]) method and after which it determines whether there are superfluous arguments to be taken care of (by throwing an according exception). Business logic therefore should invoke the root node's Syntaxable.parseArgs(String[]) method as ignoring superfluous command line arguments will cause unexpected behavior from the point of view of the invoker.

Specified by:

parseArgs in interface Syntaxable

Parameters:

aArgs - The command line arguments to be parsed.

Returns:

The list of evaluated command line arguments being instances of the Operand interfaces or its sub-types.

Throws:

UnknownArgsException - Thrown in case not one command line argument matched regarding the provided args vs. the expected args.

AmbiguousArgsException - Thrown in case at least one command line argument is ambiguous regarding expected args vs. provided args.

ParseArgsException - Thrown in case the provided command line arguments do not respect the required syntax or cannot be converted to the required type

parseSyntax

public String parseSyntax(SyntaxNotation aSyntaxNotation)

This method is to be called from from the root Syntaxable; when invoking syntax retrieval inside the Syntaxable hierarchy use the method Syntaxable.toSyntax(SyntaxNotation) . Returns the human readable (verbose) syntax of this Syntaxable instance including, in case of being a node in the syntax tree (such as a Condition, the syntax of the child Syntaxable instances. ATTENTION: As of different parenthesis settings for some notations regarding the root Syntaxable and the child Syntaxables, the method Syntaxable.toSyntax(SyntaxNotation) is called from inside the Syntaxable hierarchy. In case the syntax is to be retrieved from the root Syntaxable, then the applicable method to be called is Syntaxable.parseSyntax(SyntaxNotation), as for some notations it will for example not create the most outer braces.

Specified by:

parseSyntax in interface Syntaxable

Overrides:

parseSyntax in class AbstractSyntaxable

Parameters:

aSyntaxNotation - The syntax notation used for generating the command line arguments syntax.

Returns:

The human readable (verbose) command line arguments syntax.

toState

public String toState()

The Syntaxable.toState() method might be used by the #toString() method and prints out the state of the syntaxable and (if any) its children. Even in case parsing command line arguments failed, the state till failure can be inspected with this method.

Specified by:

toState in interface Syntaxable

Returns:

The state of this Syntaxable instance and (if any) its children.
