This class is a partial implementation of IHandler. This abstract implementation provides support for handler listeners. You should subclass from this method unless you want to implement your own listener support. Subclasses should call fireHandlerChanged(HandlerEvent)when the handler changes. Subclasses should also override getAttributeValuesByName()if they have any attributes.

Since:

3.0

Restriction:

This class is not intended to be extended by clients.

Method Detail

addHandlerListener

@Deprecated
public void addHandlerListener(IHandlerListener handlerListener)

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: IHandler

Registers an instance of IHandlerListener to listen for changes to properties of this instance.

Specified by:

addHandlerListener in interface IHandler

Parameters:

handlerListener - the instance to register. Must not be null. If an attempt is made to register an instance which is already registered with this instance, no operation is performed.

See Also:

IHandler.addHandlerListener(IHandlerListener)

dispose

@Deprecated
public void dispose()

Deprecated.

The default implementation does nothing. Subclasses who attach listeners to other objects are encouraged to detach them in this method.

Specified by:

dispose in interface IHandler

Specified by:

dispose in interface IHandler

Overrides:

dispose in class AbstractHandler

See Also:

IHandler.dispose()

execute

@Deprecated
public Object execute(ExecutionEvent event)
               throws ExecutionException

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: IHandler

Executes with the map of parameter values by name.

Specified by:

execute in interface IHandler

Parameters:

event - An event containing all the information about the current state of the application; must not be null.

Returns:

the result of the execution. Reserved for future use, must be null.

Throws:

ExecutionException - if an exception occurred during execution.

fireHandlerChanged

@Deprecated
protected void fireHandlerChanged(HandlerEvent handlerEvent)

Deprecated.

Fires an event to all registered listeners describing changes to this instance.

Overrides:

fireHandlerChanged in class AbstractHandler

Parameters:

handlerEvent - the event describing changes to this instance. Must not be null.

fireHandlerChanged

@Deprecated
protected void fireHandlerChanged(HandlerEvent handlerEvent)

Deprecated.

See Also:

AbstractHandler

getAttributeValuesByName

@Deprecated
public Map getAttributeValuesByName()

Deprecated.

This simply return an empty map. The default implementation has no attributes.

Specified by:

getAttributeValuesByName in interface IHandler

Returns:

the map of attribute values by name. This map may be empty, but is guaranteed not to be null. If this map is not empty, its collection of keys is guaranteed to only contain instances of String.

See Also:

IHandler.getAttributeValuesByName()

hasListeners

@Deprecated
protected final boolean hasListeners()

Deprecated.

Returns true iff there is one or more IHandlerListeners attached to this AbstractHandler.

Overrides:

hasListeners in class AbstractHandler

Returns:

true iff there is one or more IHandlerListeners attached to this AbstractHandler

Since:

3.1

isEnabled

@Deprecated
public boolean isEnabled()

Deprecated.

Description copied from class: AbstractHandler

Whether this handler is capable of executing at this time. Subclasses may override this method. If clients override this method they should also consider overriding AbstractHandler.setEnabled(Object) so they can be notified about framework execution contexts.

Specified by:

isEnabled in interface IHandler

Overrides:

isEnabled in class AbstractHandler

Returns:

true

See Also:

AbstractHandler.setEnabled(Object), AbstractHandler.setBaseEnabled(boolean)

isHandled

@Deprecated
public boolean isHandled()

Deprecated.

Description copied from class: AbstractHandler

Whether this handler is capable of handling delegated responsibilities at this time. Subclasses may override this method.

Specified by:

isHandled in interface IHandler

Overrides:

isHandled in class AbstractHandler

Returns:

true

removeHandlerListener

@Deprecated
public void removeHandlerListener(IHandlerListener handlerListener)

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: IHandler

Unregisters an instance of IPropertyListener listening for changes to properties of this instance.

Specified by:

removeHandlerListener in interface IHandler

Parameters:

handlerListener - the instance to unregister. Must not be null. If an attempt is made to unregister an instance which is not already registered with this instance, no operation is performed.

IHandler.removeHandlerListener(IHandlerListener)
