Class DatatypesModel

java.lang.Object
  org.inb.biomoby.central.model.AbstractModel<ObjectType>
      org.inb.biomoby.central.model.DatatypesModel

All Implemented Interfaces:

Runnable, ModelListener<MobyCentral>

public class DatatypesModel
extends AbstractModel<ObjectType>
implements ModelListener<MobyCentral>, Runnable

BioMoby datatypes model implementation class. The class provides "readonly" functionality providing at the same time a local cache support. The cache is automatically updated.

Method Summary

boolean	addElement(ObjectType element) Method to register a new datatype with a BioMoby Registry.
List<ObjectType>	getElements() Method to get all datatypes from the model
static DatatypesModel	instance() A singleton model creation method.
void	modelCleared() An observer method that starts a model reloading once the default BioMoby Registry model has been changed
void	modelObjectChanged(MobyCentral mobyCentral1, MobyCentral mobyCentral2)
void	modelObjectInserted(MobyCentral mobyCentral)
void	modelObjectRemoved(MobyCentral mobyCentral)
void	reload() Method to reload the model from a BioMoby Registry (also updating a cache)
boolean	removeElement(ObjectType element) Method to unregister a datatype from a BioMoby Registry.
void	run()
void	setCentral(MobyCentral central) Even the method declared public it is recommended to set BioMoby Registry globaly through a MobyCentralModel.
boolean	updateElement(ObjectType element1, ObjectType element2) A method that updates an element referred by element1 with data provided by element2.
