Direct Known Subclasses:

PermutePropertyDoubleSet, PermutePropertySequence, PermutePropertyStringSet

public abstract class PermuteProperty<T>
extends AnchorBean<PermuteProperty<T>>

public PermuteProperty()

Method Details

describePropertyValue

public abstract String describePropertyValue(T value)

Describes a particular property-value in a unique but human-readable way.

Parameters:

value - the value to describe, which should one of the values returned by propertyValues().

Returns:

the description of value.

createSetter

public PermutationAssigner createSetter(AnchorBean<?> bean)
                                 throws AssignPermutationException

Creates a PermutationAssigner which allows the particular property to be changed.

Parameters:

bean - the bean whose property will be changed.

Returns:

the setter that can change the property.

Throws:

AssignPermutationException - if no property can be found at propertyPath to change.

propertyValues

public abstract Iterator<T> propertyValues()

An iterator with possible alternative values for the property.

Returns:

a newly created iterator of all possible alternative values.

getPropertyPath

public String getPropertyPath()

Either a direct property of a bean or a nested-property with the children separated by full-stops.

e.g. a direct property someproperty or a nested-property e.g. somechild1.somechild2.someproperty

A child bean used in this way must be of single multiplicity, and always be a subclass of AnchorBean.

setPropertyPath

public void setPropertyPath(String propertyPath)

Either a direct property of a bean or a nested-property with the children separated by full-stops.

e.g. a direct property someproperty or a nested-property e.g. somechild1.somechild2.someproperty

A child bean used in this way must be of single multiplicity, and always be a subclass of AnchorBean.

getAdditionalPropertyPaths

public StringSet getAdditionalPropertyPaths()

Additional property paths that are also changed, together with propertyPath.

setAdditionalPropertyPaths

public void setAdditionalPropertyPaths(StringSet additionalPropertyPaths)

Additional property paths that are also changed, together with propertyPath.
