public abstract class ServerResource
extends java.lang.Object
implements IServerResource

Abstract implementation class for the IServerResource interface.

Implementations of interfaces that extend IServerResource should use this as a superclass unless there are good reasons not to.

Field Summary

protected boolean	refreshable Refreshable flag
protected IServer	server Server instance
protected boolean	updateable Updateable flag

Constructor Summary

protected	ServerResource() Default constructor -- sets complete to true, completable, refreshable, and updateable to false, and server to null.
protected	ServerResource(boolean refreshable, boolean updateable) Explicit some-value constructor; sets server to null.
protected	ServerResource(boolean refreshable, boolean updateable, IServer server) Explicit all-value constructor.
protected	ServerResource(IServer server) Sets complete to true, completable, refreshable, and updateable to false, and server to the passed-in value.

Method Summary

boolean	canRefresh() Returns true if the underlying object is refreshable from the Perforce server.
boolean	canUpdate() Returns true if the underlying object can be updated back to (or on) the associated Perforce server.
void	complete()
void	refresh() Refresh the underlying object from the Perforce server.
void	setRefreshable(boolean refreshable) Set the resource as refreshable
void	setServer(IServer server) Set the server associated with this resource.
void	update() Update the Perforce server object associated with the underlying P4Java object, if possible.

Constructor Detail

ServerResource

protected ServerResource()

Default constructor -- sets complete to true, completable, refreshable, and updateable to false, and server to null.

ServerResource

protected ServerResource(IServer server)

Sets complete to true, completable, refreshable, and updateable to false, and server to the passed-in value.

protected ServerResource(boolean refreshable,
                         boolean updateable)

                         boolean updateable,

Explicit all-value constructor.

Method Detail

canRefresh

public boolean canRefresh()

Description copied from interface: IServerResource

Returns true if the underlying object is refreshable from the Perforce server.

The details of what "refreshable" means in this context are always object-dependent, but typically mean that "live" data and metadata will be updated from the server. This is especially useful on objects like changelists, where the underlying server-side data may change often outside P4Java's control.

Specified by:

canRefresh in interface IServerResource

Returns:

true if the underlying the object is refreshable.

See Also:

IServerResource.canRefresh()

canUpdate

public boolean canUpdate()

Description copied from interface: IServerResource

Returns true if the underlying object can be updated back to (or on) the associated Perforce server. The semantics of server updates are generally object-specific.

Specified by:

canUpdate in interface IServerResource

Returns:

true if the underlying object can be updated back to (or on) the associated Perforce server

See Also:

IServerResource.canUpdate()

complete

public void complete()
              throws ConnectionException,
                     RequestException,
                     AccessException

Throws:

ConnectionException

RequestException

AccessException

com.perforce.p4java.core.IServerResource#complete()

refresh

public void refresh()
             throws ConnectionException,
                    RequestException,
                    AccessException

Description copied from interface: IServerResource

Refresh the underlying object from the Perforce server.

The details of what "refreshable" means in this context are always object-dependent, but typically mean that "live" data and metadata will be updated from the server.

The results of calling this method on objects whose canRefresh method returns false are undefined (but will generally result in a UnimplementedError being thrown).

Specified by:

refresh in interface IServerResource

Throws:

ConnectionException - if the Perforce server is unreachable or is not connected.

RequestException - if the Perforce server encounters an error during its processing of the request

AccessException - if the Perforce server denies access to the caller

See Also:

IServerResource.refresh()

update

public void update()
            throws ConnectionException,
                   RequestException,
                   AccessException

Description copied from interface: IServerResource

Update the Perforce server object associated with the underlying P4Java object, if possible. The semantics of server updates are generally object-specific and will be spelled out for each participating object.

The results of calling this method on objects whose canUpdate method returns false are undefined (but will generally result in a UnimplementedError being thrown).

Specified by:

update in interface IServerResource

Throws:

ConnectionException - if the Perforce server is unreachable or is not connected.

RequestException - if the Perforce server encounters an error during its processing of the request

AccessException - if the Perforce server denies access to the caller

See Also:

IServerResource.update()

setRefreshable

public void setRefreshable(boolean refreshable)

Set the resource as refreshable

Parameters:

refreshable -

setServer

public void setServer(IServer server)

Description copied from interface: IServerResource

Set the server associated with this resource. Setting this null can have bad effects down the line...

Specified by:

setServer in interface IServerResource

Parameters:

server - IServer to be used for refresh, update, etc.

IServerResource.setServer(com.perforce.p4java.server.IServer)
