Class DefinitionContext

  • public class DefinitionContext
extends Object
    Definition context information. This is used to track definitions of items that can be referenced by other items. The contexts are nested, so that names not found in a context may be defined by a containing context. The access methods take this into account, automatically delegating to the containing context (if defined) when a lookup fails.

      • getContaining

        public DefinitionContext getContaining()
        Get containing context.

        vctx - validation context in use

      • getSpecificFormat

        public FormatElement getSpecificFormat​(String type)
        Get specific format definition for type. Finds with an exact match on the class name, checking the containing definitions if a format is not found at this level.
        Parameters:
        type - fully qualified class name to be converted
        Returns:
        conversion definition for class, or null if not found

      • getNamedFormat

        public FormatElement getNamedFormat​(String name)
        Get named format definition. Finds the format with the supplied name, checking the containing definitions if the format is not found at this level.
        Parameters:
        name - conversion name to be found
        Returns:
        conversion definition with specified name, or null if no conversion with that name

      • getBestFormat

        public FormatElement getBestFormat​(IClass clas)
        Get best format definition for class. Finds the format based on the inheritance hierarchy for the supplied class. If a specific format for the actual class is not found (either in this or a containing level) this returns the most specific superclass format.
        Parameters:
        clas - information for target conversion class
        Returns:
        conversion definition for class, or null if no compatible conversion defined
