All Implemented Interfaces:

Direct Known Subclasses:

AbstractReporterManagerConfigXML, LnReporterManagerXml, RpsReporterManagerXml

public abstract class AbstractReporterManagerConfigXML
extends AbstractNamedBeanManagerConfigXML

Provides the abstract base and store functionality for configuring ReporterManagers, working with AbstractReporterManagers.

Typically, a subclass will just implement the load(Element Reporters) class, relying on implementation here to load the individual Reporters. Note that these are stored explicitly, so the resolution mechanism doesn't need to see *Xml classes for each specific Reporter or AbstractReporter subclass at store time.

boolean	loadReporters(Element reporters) Utility method to load the individual Reporter objects.
abstract void	setStoreElementClass(Element reporters) Subclass provides implementation to create the correct top element, including the type information.

Method Detail

store

public Element store(Object o)

Default implementation for storing the contents of a ReporterManager

Parameters:

o - Object to store, of type ReporterManager

Returns:

Element containing the complete info

setStoreElementClass

public abstract void setStoreElementClass(Element reporters)

Subclass provides implementation to create the correct top element, including the type information. Default implementation is to use the local class here.

Parameters:

reporters - The top-level element being created

load

public abstract boolean load(Element reporters)

Create a ReporterManager object of the correct class, then register and fill it.

Parameters:

reporters - Top level Element to unpack.

Returns:

true if successful

loadReporters

public boolean loadReporters(Element reporters)

Utility method to load the individual Reporter objects. If there's no additional info needed for a specific Reporter type, invoke this with the parent of the set of Reporter elements.

Parameters:

reporters - Element containing the Reporter elements to load.

Returns:

true if successful
