Method Details

retrieveFrom

public CanonicalMap.CanonicalMapBuilder retrieveFrom(String aFromPath)

Extracts a new PathMap from the elements of this PathMap found below the "from-path". The sub-paths will be the root paths for the new PathMap. Given we have a value for path "/dog/cat" in the PathMap and we call PathMap.retrieveFrom(String) with "/dog", then the resulting PathMap will contain the path "/cat" for that value.

Specified by:

retrieveFrom in interface CanonicalMap

Specified by:

retrieveFrom in interface PathMap<String>

Overrides:

retrieveFrom in class PathMapBuilderImpl<String>

Parameters:

aFromPath - The path from where to start extracting the paths.

Returns:

The PathMap with the elements below the provided path which are root elements in the new PathMap.

retrieveTo

public CanonicalMap.CanonicalMapBuilder retrieveTo(String aToPath)

Extracts a new PathMap from this PathMap's elements with the paths relocated to the provided "to-path". Given we have a value for path "/dog/cat" in the PathMap and we call PathMap.retrieveTo(String) with "/animals", then the resulting PathMap will contain the path "/animals/dog/cat" for that value.

Specified by:

retrieveTo in interface CanonicalMap

Specified by:

retrieveTo in interface PathMap<String>

Overrides:

retrieveTo in class PathMapBuilderImpl<String>

Parameters:

aToPath - The path where to relocate the paths of this PathMap to.

Returns:

The PathMap with the elements from the provided PathMap with accordingly relocated paths.

withPut

public CanonicalMap.CanonicalMapBuilder withPut(String aKey,
 String aValue)

Builder method for Keys.MutableValues.put(Object, Object).

Specified by:

withPut in interface InterOperableMap.InterOperableMapBuilder<String>

Specified by:

withPut in interface Table.TableDictionary.TableBuilder<String,String,PathMap.PathMapBuilder<String>>

Overrides:

withPut in class PathMapBuilderImpl<String>

Parameters:

aKey - the key for the property to be put.

aValue - the value for the property to be put.

Returns:

The implementing instance as of the builder pattern.

fromObject

protected PathMap<String> fromObject(Object aFrom)

Hook method when internally creating PathMap sub-types in the according PathMap sub-type implementations.

Overrides:

fromObject in class PathMapBuilderImpl<String>

Parameters:

aFrom - The Object from which to create a PathMap (sub-type) instance.

Returns:

The according PathMap (sub-type) instance.

fromInstance

protected String fromInstance(Object aValue)

Hook method when introspecting an object to help conversion of that object to the target types. By default this methods just tests for assignment conformity as of Class.isAssignableFrom(Class) with the type retrieved by PathMapBuilderImpl.getType().

Overrides:

fromInstance in class PathMapBuilderImpl<String>

Parameters:

aValue - The value which is to be transformed to the expected type as of PathMapBuilderImpl.getType().

Returns:

The converted type or null if conversion is not possible.

toInstance

protected <TYPE> TYPE toInstance(String aValue,
 Class<TYPE> aType)

Hook method when reconstructing an object, opposite of PathMapBuilderImpl.fromInstance(Object), tries to convert the given value to the desired type.

Overrides:

toInstance in class PathMapBuilderImpl<String>

Type Parameters:

TYPE - The type to which to convert to.

Parameters:

aValue - The value to by converted from this instance's type as of PathMapBuilderImpl.getType() to the desired type.

aType - The type to which to convert to.

Returns:

The converted type or null if conversion is not possible.
