Constructor Detail

PtalonParameter

public PtalonParameter(NamedObj container,
                       java.lang.String name)
                throws IllegalActionException,
                       NameDuplicationException

Construct a parameter with the given name contained by the specified entity. The container argument must not be null, or a NullPointerException will be thrown. This parameter will use the workspace of the container for synchronization and version counts. If the name argument is null, then the name is set to the empty string. The object is not added to the list of objects in the workspace unless the container is null. Increment the version of the workspace.

Parameters:

container - The container.

name - The name of the parameter.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the parameter is not of an acceptable class for the container.

NameDuplicationException - If the name coincides with a parameter already in the container.

Method Detail

clearValue

public void clearValue()

Mark this parameter so that subsequent calls to hasValue() will return false until a value is explicitly set with setExpression(String), setToken(String) or setToken(Token).

hasValue

public boolean hasValue()

Return true if this parameter's value has been set.

Returns:

true If this parameter's value has been set.

setExpression

public void setExpression(java.lang.String expr)

Set the expression and flag that the value has been set for this parameter.

Specified by:

setExpression in interface Settable

Overrides:

setExpression in class Variable

Parameters:

expr - The expression to set.

See Also:

Variable.getExpression()

setToken

public void setToken(java.lang.String expression)
              throws IllegalActionException

Set the token and flag that the value has been set for this parameter.

Overrides:

setToken in class Variable

Parameters:

expression - The expression for this token

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the superclass throws one.

See Also:

Variable.getToken(), Variable.setExpression(String), Variable.validate()

setToken

public void setToken(Token token)
              throws IllegalActionException

Set the token and flag that the value has been set for this parameter.

Overrides:

setToken in class Variable

Parameters:

token - The token to set.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the superclass throws one.

See Also:

Variable.getToken()
