org.eclipse.ui.commands
Class AbstractHandler


java.lang.Object
  extended by 

org.eclipse.core.commands.common.EventManager
      extended by 

org.eclipse.core.commands.AbstractHandler
          extended by 
org.eclipse.ui.commands.AbstractHandler
All Implemented Interfaces:
IHandler, IHandler2
Direct Known Subclasses:
ActionHandler

Deprecated. Please use the "org.eclipse.core.commands" plug-in instead.

public abstract class AbstractHandler
extends AbstractHandler
implements IHandler

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

Method Summary
 void addHandlerListener ( IHandlerListener handlerListener)
          Deprecated. Registers an instance of IHandlerListener to listen for changes to properties of this instance.
 void dispose ()

          Deprecated. This simply return an empty map.
protected  boolean hasListeners ()
          Deprecated. Returns true iff there is one or more IHandlerListeners attached to this AbstractHandler.
 boolean isEnabled ()
          Deprecated. Whether this handler is capable of executing at this time.
 boolean isHandled ()
          Deprecated. Whether this handler is capable of handling delegated responsibilities at this time.
 void removeHandlerListener ( IHandlerListener handlerListener)

Method Detail

addHandlerListener

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.

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

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
Overrides:
dispose in class AbstractHandler
See Also:
IHandler.dispose()

execute

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

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

protected void fireHandlerChanged(
HandlerEvent handlerEvent)
Deprecated. 

getAttributeValuesByName

public 
Map getAttributeValuesByName()
Deprecated. 
This simply return an empty map. The default implementation has no attributes.

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

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

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

public boolean isHandled()
Deprecated.

Overrides:
isHandled in class AbstractHandler
Returns:
true

removeHandlerListener

public void removeHandlerListener(
IHandlerListener handlerListener)
Deprecated.
