Class IlvAbstractSDMModel

java.lang.Object

ilog.views.sdm.model.IlvBasicSDMModel

ilog.views.sdm.model.IlvAbstractSDMModel

All Implemented Interfaces:

IlvSDMModel, Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

IlvDefaultSDMModel, IlvTableSDMModel

public abstract class IlvAbstractSDMModel
extends IlvBasicSDMModel

The class IlvAbstractSDMModel implements an SDM model whose nodes and links are instances of the IlvSDMNode and IlvSDMLink interfaces.

This class is abstract because it does not define the storage of the nodes and links. You can use the default implementation IlvDefaultSDMModel that simply stores the nodes and links in memory. Alternatively, you can write your own subclass if your application already defines the storage of the objects, or if the objects are obtained from an external data source such as a database. If you write your own subclass, you must define the following methods:

• IlvSDMModel.addObject(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object),
• IlvSDMModel.getObjects(),
• IlvSDMModel.getObject(java.lang.String),
• IlvSDMModel.clear(),

The objects contained in the model must implement the IlvSDMNode or IlvSDMLink interface. You can use the default implementations IlvDefaultSDMNode or IlvDefaultSDMLink, or you can write your own classes that implement IlvSDMNode and IlvSDMLink to wrap your application objects into the model.

The application must build the SDM by calling the model's addObject method for each data object.

By default, when the model's content is read from an XML file, the nodes and links will be new instances of IlvDefaultSDMNode and IlvDefaultSDMLink.

Note that, if you want to read your own node and link classes from an XML file, you must implement the "mutable" versions of the node and link interfaces (IlvMutableSDMNode and IlvMutableSDMLink).

Since:

JViews 4.0
