Class ProxyLightManager

    • Method Detail

      • getXMLOrder

        public int getXMLOrder()
        Description copied from interface: Manager
        Determine the order that types should be written when storing panel files. Uses one of the constants defined in this class.

        Yes, that's an overly-centralized methodology, but it works for now.

        Specified by:
        getXMLOrder in interface Manager<Light>
        Returns:
        write order for this Manager; larger is later.
      • getLight

        public Light getLight​(@Nonnull
                              java.lang.String name)
        Locate via user name, then system name if needed.
        Specified by:
        getLight in interface LightManager
        Parameters:
        name - User name, system name, or address which can be promoted to system name
        Returns:
        Null if nothing by that name exists
      • makeBean

        @Nonnull
        protected Light makeBean​(Manager<Light> manager,
                                 java.lang.String systemName,
                                 java.lang.String userName)
                          throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
        Defer creation of the proper type to the subclass.
        Specified by:
        makeBean in class AbstractProvidingProxyManager<Light>
        Parameters:
        manager - the manager to invoke
        systemName - the system name
        userName - the user name
        Returns:
        a bean
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if unable to make.
      • provide

        @Nonnull
        public Light provide​(@Nonnull
                             java.lang.String name)
                      throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
        Get an existing instance via user name, then system name; if no matching instance is found, create a new NameBean from the system name.

        If the name is a valid system name, it will be used for the new NamedBean. Otherwise, the Manager.makeSystemName(java.lang.String) method will attempt to turn it into a valid system name which the manager will attempt to use. If that fails, an exception is thrown.

        This is similar to the specific methods found in certain type-specific managers: TurnoutManager.provideTurnout(java.lang.String), SensorManager.provideSensor(java.lang.String), et al. Those might be more mnemonic; this one is more generic. Neither is preferred nor deprecated; use your choice.

        Specified by:
        provide in interface LightManager
        Specified by:
        provide in interface ProvidingManager<Light>
        Parameters:
        name - User name, system name, or address which can be promoted to system name
        Returns:
        Never null
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if NamedBean doesn't already exist and the manager cannot create it due to an illegal name or name that can't be parsed.
      • provideLight

        @Nonnull
        public Light provideLight​(@Nonnull
                                  java.lang.String name)
                           throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
        Locate via user name, then system name if needed. If that fails, create a new Light: If the name is a valid system name, it will be used for the new Light. Otherwise, the makeSystemName method will attempt to turn it into a valid system name.
        Specified by:
        provideLight in interface LightManager
        Parameters:
        name - User name, system name, or address which can be promoted to system name
        Returns:
        Never null under normal circumstances
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
      • newLight

        @Nonnull
        public Light newLight​(@Nonnull
                              java.lang.String systemName,
                              java.lang.String userName)
                       throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
        Return a Light with the specified user or system name. Lookup Light by UserName, then Provide New Light by SystemName. Note that two calls with the same arguments will get the same instance; there is only one Light object representing a given physical Light and therefore only one with a specific system or user name.

        This will always return a valid object reference; a new object will be created if necessary. In that case:

        • If a null reference is given for user name, no user name will be associated with the Light object created; a valid system name must be provided
        • If both names are provided, the system name defines the hardware access of the desired sensor, and the user address is associated with it. The system name must be valid.
        Note that it is possible to make an inconsistent request if both addresses are provided, but the given values are associated with different objects. This is a problem, and we don't have a good solution except to issue warnings. This will mostly happen if you're creating Lights when you should be looking them up.
        Specified by:
        newLight in interface LightManager
        Parameters:
        systemName - the desired system name
        userName - the desired user name
        Returns:
        requested Light object (never null)
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if cannot create the Light due to e.g. an illegal name or name that can't be parsed.
