org.eclipse.wst.server.core
Interface IRuntimeWorkingCopy

All Superinterfaces:
IRuntime

public interface IRuntimeWorkingCopy
extends IRuntime

A working copy runtime object used for formulating changes to a runtime instance ( IRuntime). Changes made on a working copy do not occur (and are not persisted) until a save() is performed.

If the client of this working copy calls loadAdapter(), a new instance of the delegate (RuntimeDelegate) will be created to help this working copy. This delegate instance will be used as long as this working copy exists.

This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients.

Since:
1.0
See Also:
IRuntime

Field Summary
static java.lang.String PROPERTY_LOCATION
          Property change name (value "location") used when the location of the runtime changes.
static java.lang.String PROPERTY_NAME
          Property change name (value "name") used when the name of the runtime changes.
static int SAVE_CONFLICT
          Status code (value 1) returned from the save() method when the save failed with force set to false because the runtime has been modified and saved since this working copy was created.
 
Method Summary
 void addPropertyChangeListener (java.beans.PropertyChangeListener listener)
          Adds a property change listener to this runtime.
  IRuntime getOriginal ()
          Returns the runtime instance that this working copy is associated with.
 boolean isDirty ()
          Returns whether this working copy has unsaved changes.
 void removePropertyChangeListener (java.beans.PropertyChangeListener listener)
          Removes a property change listener from this runtime.
  IRuntime save (boolean force, IProgressMonitor monitor)
          Commits the changes made in this working copy.
 void setLocation (IPath path)
          Sets the absolute path in the local file system to the root of the runtime, typically the installation directory.
 void setName (java.lang.String name)
          Sets the displayable name for this runtime.
 void setReadOnly (boolean readOnly)
          Sets or unsets whether this runtime is marked as read only.
 void setStub (boolean stub)
          Returns whether this runtime is a stub (used for compilation only) or a full runtime.

Field Detail

SAVE_CONFLICT

static final int SAVE_CONFLICT
Status code (value 1) returned from the save() method when the save failed with force set to false because the runtime has been modified and saved since this working copy was created.

See Also:
save(boolean, IProgressMonitor), Constant Field Values

PROPERTY_NAME

static final java.lang.String PROPERTY_NAME
Property change name (value "name") used when the name of the runtime changes.

See Also:
addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener), removePropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener), Constant Field Values

PROPERTY_LOCATION

static final java.lang.String PROPERTY_LOCATION
Property change name (value "location") used when the location of the runtime changes.

See Also:
addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener), removePropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener), Constant Field Values
Method Detail

setName

void setName(java.lang.String name)
Sets the displayable name for this runtime.

The name should be appropriate for the current locale.

Parameters:
name - a displayable name
See Also:
IRuntime.getName()

setReadOnly

void setReadOnly(boolean readOnly)
Sets or unsets whether this runtime is marked as read only. When a runtime is read only, working copies can be created but they cannot be saved.

Parameters:
readOnly - true to set this runtime to be marked read only, and false to unset

isDirty

boolean isDirty()
Returns whether this working copy has unsaved changes.

Returns:
true if this working copy has unsaved changes, and false otherwise

addPropertyChangeListener

void addPropertyChangeListener(java.beans.PropertyChangeListener listener)
Adds a property change listener to this runtime.

Once registered, a listener starts receiving notification of property changes to this runtime. The listener continues to receive notifications until it is removed. Has no effect if an identical listener is already registered.

Parameters:
listener - a property change listener
See Also:
removePropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener)

removePropertyChangeListener

void removePropertyChangeListener(java.beans.PropertyChangeListener listener)
Removes a property change listener from this runtime. Has no effect if the listener is not registered.

Parameters:
listener - a property change listener
See Also:
addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener)

getOriginal


IRuntime getOriginal()
Returns the runtime instance that this working copy is associated with.

For a runtime working copy created by a call to IRuntime.createWorkingCopy(), this.getOriginal() returns the original runtime object. For a runtime working copy just created by a call to IRuntimeType.createRuntime(String, IProgressMonitor), this.getOriginal() returns null.

Returns:
the associated runtime instance, or null if none

setLocation

void setLocation(IPath path)
Sets the absolute path in the local file system to the root of the runtime, typically the installation directory.

Parameters:
path - the location of this runtime, or null if none
See Also:
IRuntime.getLocation()

setStub

void setStub(boolean stub)
Returns whether this runtime is a stub (used for compilation only) or a full runtime.

Parameters:
stub - true if this runtime is a stub, and false otherwise

save


IRuntime save(boolean force,
              IProgressMonitor monitor)
              throws CoreException
Commits the changes made in this working copy. If there is no extant runtime instance with a matching id and runtime type, this will create a runtime instance with attributes taken from this working copy, and return that object.

If there an existing runtime instance with a matching id and runtime type, this will change the runtime instance accordingly. The returned runtime will be the same runtime this is returned from getOriginal(), after the changes have been applied. Otherwise, this method will return a newly created runtime.

Runtimes can be saved even when they have invalid properties. It is the clients responsibility to call validate() or check the properties before saving.

Parameters:
force - true to force the save, or false otherwise
monitor - a progress monitor, or null if progress reporting and cancellation are not desired
Returns:
a new runtime instance
Throws:
CoreException - if the save could not be completed
See Also:
SAVE_CONFLICT
