lock

protected transient java.util.concurrent.locks.Lock lock

Lock to protect the property map

name

protected java.lang.String name

Constructor Detail

NamedPropertyClass

public NamedPropertyClass()

NamedPropertyClass

public NamedPropertyClass(java.lang.String name)

Method Detail

setupTransient

protected void setupTransient()

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Returns the name of this entity.

Returns:

name for this entity.

setName

public void setName(java.lang.String name)

Sets the name for this entity.

Parameters:

name - name for this entity.

setProperty

public java.io.Serializable setProperty(java.lang.String key,
                                        java.io.Serializable value)

Sets a property (name/value pair) to this entity. This is useful for attributes like strength, intelligence, state information. The key parameter must be a string and the value parameter must be serializable. When saving the entity to the database or serializing the object over the network, all of its properties will also be serialized.

If you have an accessor method to a property like getDisplayContext() and setDisplayContext() make sure to set it up as transient with the Introspector's BeanInfo object. See AOObject static initialization block for an example.

Returns:

old value for given key or null if none ever set.

getProperty

public java.io.Serializable getProperty(java.lang.String key)

Returns the property named by key.

Parameters:

key - serializable key object.

Returns:

value of the property, null if property does not exist.

Throws:

java.lang.InterruptedException

See Also:

setProperty(String, Serializable)

removeProperty

public java.io.Serializable removeProperty(java.lang.String key)

Remove the named property.

Parameters:

key - serializable key object.

Returns:

old value for given key or null if none ever set.

getStringProperty

public java.lang.String getStringProperty(java.lang.String key)

getBooleanProperty

public boolean getBooleanProperty(java.lang.String key)

if null, returns false

Throws:

java.lang.InterruptedException

getIntProperty

public java.lang.Integer getIntProperty(java.lang.String key)

modifyIntProperty

public java.lang.Integer modifyIntProperty(java.lang.String key,
                                           int delta)

Helper method for entity properties. Atomically modified an integer value property by delta. newval = oldval + delta. delta can be negative.

Parameters:

key - key for property

delta - amount changed, can be negative.

Returns:

new value.
