Method Detail

canHandle

public boolean canHandle(String criterion,
                         Object value)

It can handle Strings.

It can actually handle more - because it uses toString() method on the incoming data - but it is not always the way we want to present data, so this method is more conservative in saying what it can handle.

Specified by:

canHandle in interface Renderer

Specified by:

canHandle in class AbstractRenderer

Parameters:

criterion - is a category of the value, e.g. "MIME-TYPE"

value - is a value from the category criterion, e.g. "text/xml"

getComponent

public JComponent getComponent(DataContainer data)
                        throws MobyException

Description copied from interface: Renderer

Return a JComponent displaying (rendering) given data.

If it gets an array of data, it can always delegate their accumulation to the CollectionRenderer by saying:

   if (data.getData().getClass().isArray())
      return new BoxCollectionRenderer (this).getComponent (data);

Specified by:

getComponent in interface Renderer

Specified by:

getComponent in class AbstractRenderer

Parameters:

data - to be rendered

Returns:

a component for displaying data, or null if there is a problem with data

Throws:

MobyException - if called with wrong type of data
