ptolemy.moml.filter.ClassChanges

All Implemented Interfaces:

MoMLFilter

public class ClassChanges
extends MoMLFilterSimple

When this class is registered with the MoMLParser.setMoMLFilter() method, it will cause MoMLParser to filter so that models from earlier releases will run in the current release.

This class will filter moml for simple class changes where the context of the class name to be changed does not matter - all occurrences of the class name will be changed. This class can be thought of as a primitive form of sed.

If a class within an actor is what has changed, use (@see PropertyClassChanges) instead.

Ptolemy II 2.0

Method Detail

clear

public static void clear()

Clear the map of class renames and the set of class removals.

filterAttributeValue

public java.lang.String filterAttributeValue(NamedObj container,
                                             java.lang.String element,
                                             java.lang.String attributeName,
                                             java.lang.String attributeValue,
                                             java.lang.String xmlFile)

If the attributeName is "class" and attributeValue names a class that needs to be renamed, then substitute in the new class name. If the attributeValue names a class that needs to be removed, then return null, which will cause the MoMLParser to skip the rest of the element;

Parameters:

container - The container for this attribute.

element - The XML element name.

attributeName - The name of the attribute.

attributeValue - The value of the attribute.

xmlFile - The file currently being parsed.

Returns:

the value of the attributeValue argument.

filterEndElement

public void filterEndElement(NamedObj container,
                             java.lang.String elementName,
                             java.lang.StringBuffer currentCharData,
                             java.lang.String xmlFile)
                      throws java.lang.Exception

In this class, do nothing.

Parameters:

container - The object created by this element.

elementName - The element name.

currentCharData - The character data, which appears only in the doc and configure elements

xmlFile - The file currently being parsed.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - Not thrown in this base class.

put

public void put(java.lang.String oldName,
                java.lang.String newName)

Add a class to be filtered. Note that if you add a class with this method, then you must remove it with remove(String), calling "new ClassChanges()" will not remove a class that was added with this method.

Parameters:

oldName - The old name of the class to be filtered.

newName - The new name of the class to be filtered. If the value is null, then the class in oldName will be removed.

remove(String)

remove

public void remove(java.lang.String className)

Parameters:

className - The name of the class to be filtered out, for example "ptolemy.copernicus.kernel.GeneratorAttribute".
