Interface IBaseModel

All Superinterfaces:: IAdaptable

All Known Subinterfaces:: IBuildModel, IExtensionsModel, IFragmentModel, IModel, IPluginModel, IPluginModelBase, ISharedExtensionsModel, ISharedPluginModel

public interface IBaseModel
extends IAdaptable
extends IAdaptable

A base generic model. Classes that implement this interface are expected to be able to:

Dispose (clear all the data and reset)
Tell if they are editable
Tell if they contain valid data

Since:: 2.0
Restriction:: This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients.
Restriction:: This interface is not intended to be extended by clients.

Method Summary

void dispose ()
          Releases all the data in this model and clears the state.

boolean isDisposed ()
          Tests if this model has been disposed.

boolean isEditable ()
          Tests if this model can be modified.

boolean isValid ()
          Tests if this model valid.

Method Detail

dispose

void dispose()

Releases all the data in this model and clears the state. A disposed model can be returned to the normal state by reloading.

isDisposed

boolean isDisposed()

Tests if this model has been disposed. Disposed model cannot be used until it is loaded/reloaded.

Returns:: true if the model has been disposed

isEditable

boolean isEditable()

Tests if this model can be modified. Modification of a model that is not editable will result in CoreException being thrown.

Returns:: true if this model can be modified

isValid

boolean isValid()

Tests if this model valid. When models are loaded from the file, they may pass the syntax error checking and load all the model objects. However, some of the objects may contain invalid values that make the model unusable.
