AbstractExpression

public AbstractExpression()

Method Detail

getChildren

public Expression[] getChildren()

Description copied from interface: Expression

The children (if any) that this expression is dependent on for its execution

Specified by:

getChildren in interface Expression

setChildren

public void setChildren(Expression[] expressions)

connect

public void connect(CommonContext context,
                    InteractionListener updateListener)

Description copied from interface: Expression

Gives the expression a chance to connect itself to things, if necessary. Most expressions do not have any connections. An expression should notify the updateListener if they change.

Specified by:

connect in interface Expression

disconnect

public void disconnect()

Description copied from interface: Expression

Tells the expression to disconnect from anything it was connected to.

Specified by:

disconnect in interface Expression

shutdown

public void shutdown()

Description copied from interface: Expression

Tells the expression to shutdown any polling operations.

Specified by:

shutdown in interface Expression

startup

public void startup()

Description copied from interface: Expression

Tells the expression to startup any polling operations. Expressions that use this can remember the updateListener from connect() to feed update notification to.

Specified by:

startup in interface Expression
