Method Detail

attributeChanged

public void attributeChanged(Attribute attribute)

Description copied from class: NamedObj

React to a change in an attribute. This method is called by a contained attribute when its value changes. In this base class, the method does nothing. In derived classes, this method may throw an exception, indicating that the new attribute value is invalid. It is up to the caller to restore the attribute to a valid value if an exception is thrown.

Overrides:

attributeChanged in class NamedObj

Parameters:

attribute - The attribute that changed.

setContainer

public void setContainer(NamedObj container)
                  throws IllegalActionException,
                         NameDuplicationException

Description copied from class: Attribute

Specify the container NamedObj, adding this attribute to the list of attributes in the container. If the container already contains an attribute with the same name, then throw an exception and do not make any changes. Similarly, if the container is not in the same workspace as this attribute, throw an exception. If this attribute is already contained by the NamedObj, do nothing. If the attribute already has a container, remove this attribute from its attribute list first. Otherwise, remove it from the directory of the workspace, if it is there. If the argument is null, then remove it from its container. It is not added to the workspace directory, so this could result in this object being garbage collected. Note that since an Attribute is a NamedObj, it can itself have attributes. However, recursive containment is not allowed, where an attribute is an attribute of itself, or indirectly of any attribute it contains. This method is write-synchronized on the workspace and increments its version number.

Overrides:

setContainer in class Attribute

Parameters:

container - The container to attach this attribute to..

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If this attribute is not of the expected class for the container, or it has no name, or the attribute and container are not in the same workspace, or the proposed container would result in recursive containment.

NameDuplicationException - If the container already has an attribute with the name of this attribute.
