cz.cuni.amis.utils.flag
Class ReasonFlag<TYPE,REASON>

java.lang.Object
  cz.cuni.amis.utils.flag.Flag<TYPE>
      cz.cuni.amis.utils.flag.ReasonFlag<TYPE,REASON>

Type Parameters:

TYPE -

REASON -

All Implemented Interfaces:

IFlag<TYPE>, IReasonFlag<TYPE,REASON>, Serializable

public class ReasonFlag<TYPE,REASON>
extends Flag<TYPE>
implements IReasonFlag<TYPE,REASON>, Serializable

Allows you to pass reasons of flag change along with new value of the flag.

This extension of Flag is MAGICAL! And I mean it ... it is correct from the point of view of OOP (asfaik), but the Flag alone is complex class and we're trying to hack another parameter to the setFlag() method!

Anyway, it works as you would expect it to work ;)

addStrongListener

public void addStrongListener(FlagListener<TYPE> listener)

Use ReasonFlagListener to get reasons or simple FlagListener to only receives new values.

FlagListener will be wrapped using ReasonFlagListener.FlagListenerAdapter

For more documentation see Flag

Specified by:

addStrongListener in interface IFlag<TYPE>

Overrides:

addStrongListener in class Flag<TYPE>

Parameters:

listener -

addListener

public void addListener(FlagListener<TYPE> listener)
