Field Detail

_ingredientList

private GTIngredientList _ingredientList
The ingredient list obtained from the last expression parsing.


_parsed

private boolean _parsed
Indicate whether the current expression has been parsed.

Constructor Detail

GTIngredientsAttribute

public GTIngredientsAttribute()
Construct an attribute in the default workspace with an empty string as its name. The object is added to the directory of the workspace. Increment the version number of the workspace.


GTIngredientsAttribute

public GTIngredientsAttribute(NamedObj container,
                              java.lang.String name)
                       throws IllegalActionException,
                              NameDuplicationException
Construct an attribute with the given name contained by the specified container. The container argument must not be null, or a NullPointerException will be thrown. This attribute will use the workspace of the container for synchronization and version counts. If the name argument is null, then the name is set to the empty string. The object is added to the directory of the workspace if the container is null. Increment the version of the workspace.

Parameters:
container - The container.
name - The name of this attribute.
Throws:
IllegalActionException - If the attribute is not of an acceptable class for the container, or if the name contains a period.
NameDuplicationException - If the name coincides with an attribute already in the container.

GTIngredientsAttribute

public GTIngredientsAttribute(Workspace workspace)
Construct an attribute in the specified workspace with an empty string as a name. The object is added to the directory of the workspace. Increment the version number of the workspace.

Parameters:
workspace - The workspace that will list the attribute.
Method Detail

getIngredientList

public GTIngredientList getIngredientList()
                                   throws MalformedStringException
Parse the expression of this attribute if necessary and return the up-to-date ingredient list contained in this attribute.

Returns:
The ingredient list.
Throws:
MalformedStringException - If error occurs while parsing the expression.

setExpression

public void setExpression(java.lang.String expression)
                   throws IllegalActionException
Set the expression of this attribute and defers parsing to the time when the ingredient list is obtained with getIngredientList() or when validate() is invoked.

Specified by:
setExpression in interface Settable
Overrides:
setExpression in class StringAttribute
Parameters:
expression - The new expression.
Throws:
IllegalActionException - If thrown by the superclass.
See Also:
StringAttribute.getExpression()

validate

public java.util.Collection<?> validate()
                                 throws IllegalActionException
Parse the expression if necessary.

Specified by:
validate in interface Settable
Overrides:
validate in class StringAttribute
Returns:
Always null.
Throws:
IllegalActionException - If error occurs while parsing the expression.

_init

private void _init()
Initialize this attribute when the constructor is executed.


_parse

private void _parse()
             throws MalformedStringException
Parse the expression.

Throws:
MalformedStringException - If error occurs while parsing the expression.
