Method Summary

Object	columnNameObject(String name) Map a column header name to a column key.
void	finishedR(Page page) The reader is finished with the table
void	invalidate(RecordR record) This allows a record to remove itself, commonly from within the finished() method, after checking its own validity
void	notFound(OpeningStatus ps) The reader tried to parse the table but didn't find it
boolean	open() read the table from model's current open file
void	open(OpeningStatus ps) read the store from model's current open file
abstract RecordR	row(Object[] rowKey) Return a reference to a Record (a row object).
abstract boolean	rowExists(Object[] rowKey) Return true if a record already exists with this key.

Method Detail

columnNameObject

public Object columnNameObject(String name)

Map a column header name to a column key. The key can be the name itself, or something easier to match (like an integer) if you want to increase the performance

Specified by:

columnNameObject in interface TableR

Parameters:

name - the name of the column

Returns:

the column key, where null means the column does not exist

invalidate

public void invalidate(RecordR record)

This allows a record to remove itself, commonly from within the finished() method, after checking its own validity

Specified by:

invalidate in interface TableR

row

public abstract RecordR row(Object[] rowKey)

Return a reference to a Record (a row object). On reading, the Record may already exist, or it may be created as a result of this call.

Specified by:

row in interface TableR

rowExists

public abstract boolean rowExists(Object[] rowKey)

Description copied from interface: TableR

Return true if a record already exists with this key. This is used to prevent duplicates from being read (particularly on base pages)

Specified by:

rowExists in interface TableR

finishedR

public void finishedR(Page page)

The reader is finished with the table

Specified by:

finishedR in interface TableR

notFound

public void notFound(OpeningStatus ps)

Description copied from interface: TableR

The reader tried to parse the table but didn't find it

Specified by:

notFound in interface TableR

open

public void open(OpeningStatus ps)

Description copied from interface: TableR

read the store from model's current open file

Specified by:

open in interface TableR

open

public boolean open()

Description copied from interface: TableR

read the table from model's current open file

Specified by:

open in interface TableR
