Class DescendantProtoCritterType

java.lang.Object
  org.hyperic.hq.grouping.critters.BaseCritterType
      org.hyperic.hq.grouping.critters.DescendantProtoCritterType

All Implemented Interfaces:

CritterType

public class DescendantProtoCritterType
extends BaseCritterType

This type of criteria is used to provide the same functionality as autogroups. "Show me all descendants of this platform that are of type 'Fileserver File'"

Constructor Summary

DescendantProtoCritterType()

Method Summary

Critter	compose(CritterDump dump) Returns a Critter instance of this critter type based on the critter properties passed through in the CritterDump.
void	decompose(Critter critter, CritterDump dump) Returns a Critter instance of this critter type based on the critter properties passed through in the CritterDump.
Resource	getPrototype()
Resource	getRoot()
boolean	isSystem() Return true if the Critter is an internal one and used by the system.
boolean	isUserVisible() returns true if this critter should be visible to the UI for user-defined org.hyperic.hq.groupingCritterLists.

Method Detail

getRoot

public Resource getRoot()

getPrototype

public Resource getPrototype()

newInstance

public org.hyperic.hq.grouping.critters.DescendantProtoCritterType.DescendantProtoCritter newInstance(Resource root,
                                                                                                      Resource proto)

newInstance

public Critter newInstance(java.util.Map critterProps)
                    throws GroupException

Description copied from interface: CritterType

Create a new instance of this critter type. The passed props must match what the type is asking for (via getPropDescriptions())

Parameters:

critterProps - a map of prop IDs onto the actual props. The keys must match ids of props as returned by CritterProp.getId()

Throws:

GroupException

compose

public Critter compose(CritterDump dump)
                throws GroupException

Description copied from interface: CritterType

Returns a Critter instance of this critter type based on the critter properties passed through in the CritterDump.

Parameters:

dump - The CritterDump containing the critter properties used to populate the new Critter instance.

Throws:

GroupException

decompose

public void decompose(Critter critter,
                      CritterDump dump)
               throws GroupException

Description copied from interface: CritterType

Returns a Critter instance of this critter type based on the critter properties passed through in the CritterDump.

dump - The Critter instance from which the critter properties will be read to populate the CritterDump.

Throws:

GroupException

isUserVisible

public boolean isUserVisible()

Description copied from interface: CritterType

returns true if this critter should be visible to the UI for user-defined org.hyperic.hq.groupingCritterLists.

isSystem

public boolean isSystem()

Description copied from interface: CritterType

Return true if the Critter is an internal one and used by the system. Critters with this set should not be persisted. In addition, system-based criteria MUST be matched when processing the results. i.e. a CriterList may specify that 'any' may match, but if it contains a system critter, it MUST match. Essentially this will SQL "and" this CritterType in the CritterList to the other members no matter the value of CritterList.isAny(). Example uses: - Critters that specify a match for compatable groups - Critters that filter out system-related resources (virtual servers)
