    public abstract class ComponentAdapter
    extends java.lang.Object
    Abstract base class for all component data adapter classes. A ComponentAdapter allows the decoration collaborators like f.i. Highlighter to interact with a target component through a common API.

    It has two aspects:

    • interact with the view state for the "current" cell. The row/column fields and the parameterless methods service this aspect. The coordinates are in view coordinate system.
    • interact with the data of the component. The methods for this are those taking row/column indices as parameters. The coordinates are in model coordinate system.
    Typically, application code is interested in the first aspect. An example is highlighting the background of a row in a JXTable based on the value of a cell in a specific column. The solution is to implement a custom HighlightPredicate which decides if a given cell should be highlighted and configure a ColorHighlighter with the predicate and an appropriate background color.
    
     HighlightPredicate feverWarning = new HighlightPredicate() {
         int temperatureColumn = 10;
     
         public boolean isHighlighted(Component component, ComponentAdapter adapter) {
             return hasFever(adapter.getValue(temperatureColumn));
         }
     
         private boolean hasFever(Object value) {
             if (!value instanceof Number)
                 return false;
             return ((Number) value).intValue() > 37;
         }
     };
     
     Highlighter hl = new ColorHighlighter(feverWarning, Color.RED, null);
     
    The adapter is responsible for mapping column and row coordinates. All input column indices are in model coordinates with exactly two exceptions: All input row indices are in model coordinates with exactly four exceptions: PENDING JW: anything to gain by generics here?

    PENDING JW: formally document that row/column coordinates must be valid in all methods taking model coordinates, that is 0<= row < getRowCount().

        component - target component for this adapter
    • Method Detail

      • getComponent

        public javax.swing.JComponent getComponent()
        Returns the component which is this adapter's target.
        Returns:
        the component which is this adapter's target.
      • getColumnName

        public java.lang.String getColumnName​(int columnIndex)
        Returns the column's display name (= headerValue) of the column at columnIndex in model coordinates. Used f.i. in SearchPanel to fill the field with the column name.

        Note: it's up to the implementation to decide for which columns it returns a name - most will do so for the subset with isTestable = true. This implementation delegates to getColumnIdentifierAt and returns it's toString or null.

        Parameters:
        columnIndex - in model coordinates
        Returns:
        column name or null if not found
      • getColumnIdentifierAt

        public java.lang.Object getColumnIdentifierAt​(int columnIndex)
        Returns logical identifier of the column at columnIndex in model coordinates. Note: it's up to the implementation to decide for which columns it returns an identifier - most will do so for the subset with isTestable = true.

        This implementation returns DEFAULT_COLUMN_IDENTIFIER. PENDING JW: This method replaces the old getColumnIdentifier(int) which returned a String which is overly restrictive. The only way to gently replace this method was to add this with a different name - which makes this name suboptimal. Probably should rename again once the old has died out ;-)

        Parameters:
        columnIndex - in model coordinates, must be valid.
        Returns:
        the identifier of the column at columnIndex or null if it has none.
        Throws:
        java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if columnIndex < 0 or columnIndex >= getColumnCount().
        See Also:
        getColumnIndex(Object)
      • getColumnIndex

        public int getColumnIndex​(java.lang.Object identifier)
        Returns the column index in model coordinates for the logical identifier.

        This implementation returns 0 if the identifier is the same as the one known identifier returned from getColumnIdentifierAt(0), or -1 otherwise. So subclasses with one column and a customizable identifier need not override. Subclasses which support multiple columns must override this as well to keep the contract as in (assuming that the lookup succeeded):

        
          Object id = getColumnIdentifierAt(index);
          assertEquals(index, getColumnIndex(index);
          // and the reverse 
          int column = getColumnIndex(identifier);
          assertEquals(identifier, getColumnIdentifierAt(column));
         
        Parameters:
        identifier - the column's identifier, must not be null
        Returns:
        the index of the column identified by identifier in model coordinates or -1 if no column with the given identifier is found.
        Throws:
        java.lang.NullPointerException - if identifier is null.

        Parameters:
        column - the column index in model coordinates
        Returns:
        true if the column should be included in testing

                                                    int column)
        Returns the value of the target component's cell identified by the specified row and column in model coordinates.

        Determines whether this cell is editable.
        Parameters:
        row - the row to query in model coordinates
        column - the column to query in model coordinates
        Returns:

      • getString

        public java.lang.String getString()
        Returns the String representation of the value of the cell identified by this adapter. That is, for the at position (adapter.row, adapter.column) in view coordinates.

        NOTE: this implementation assumes that view coordinates == model coordinates, that is simply calls getValueAt(this.row, this.column). It is up to subclasses to override appropriately is they support model/view coordinate transformation.

        This implementation messages the StringValue.TO_STRING with the getValue, subclasses should re-implement and use the API appropriate for the target component type.

        Returns:
        the String representation of value of the cell identified by this adapter

        getValueAt(int, int), getFilteredValueAt(int, int), getValue(int)
      • getString

        public java.lang.String getString​(int modelColumnIndex)
        Returns the String representation of the value of the cell identified by the current adapter row and the given column index in model coordinates.

        Parameters:
        modelColumnIndex - the column index in model coordinates
        Returns:
        the String representation of the value of the cell identified by this adapter

      • getFilteredStringAt

        public java.lang.String getFilteredStringAt​(int row,
                                                    int column)
        Returns the String representation of the filtered value of the cell identified by the row in view coordinate and the column in model coordinates.

        Note: the asymetry of the coordinates is intentional - clients like Highlighters are interested in view values but might need to access non-visible columns for testing. While it is possible to access row coordinates different from the current (that is this.row) it is not safe to do so for row > this.row because the adapter doesn't allow to query the count of visible rows.

        This implementation messages the StringValue.TO_STRING with the filteredValue, subclasses should re-implement and use the API appropriate for the target component type.

        PENDING JW: what about null cell values? StringValue has a contract to return a empty string then, would that be okay here as well?

        Parameters:
        row - the row of the cell in view coordinates
        column - the column of the cell in model coordinates.
        Returns:
        the String representation of the filtered value of the cell identified by the row in view coordinate and the column in model coordinates

        Returns the String representation of the value of the cell identified by the row specified row and column in model coordinates.

        This implementation messages the StringValue.TO_STRING with the valueAt, subclasses should re-implement and use the api appropriate for the target component type.

        Parameters:
        row - in model coordinates
        column - in model coordinates
        Returns:
        the value of the target component's cell identified by the specified row and column
