Class AbstractContext

java.lang.Object

bboss.org.apache.velocity.context.AbstractContext

All Implemented Interfaces:

Context, InternalEventContext

Direct Known Subclasses:

VelocityContext

public abstract class AbstractContext
extends java.lang.Object
implements Context

This class is the abstract base class for all conventional Velocity Context implementations. Simply extend this class and implement the abstract routines that access your preferred storage method. Takes care of context chaining. Also handles / enforces policy on null keys and values :

• Null keys and values are accepted and basically dropped.
• If you place an object into the context with a null key, it will be ignored and logged.
• If you try to place a null into the context with any key, it will be dropped and logged.

The default implementation of this for application use is bboss.org.apache.velocity.VelocityContext. All thanks to Fedor for the chaining idea.

Constructor Detail

AbstractContext

public AbstractContext()

default CTOR

AbstractContext

public AbstractContext(Context inner)

Chaining constructor accepts a Context argument. It will relay get() operations into this Context in the even the 'local' get() returns null.

Parameters:

inner - context to be chained

Method Detail

internalGet

public abstract java.lang.Object internalGet(java.lang.String key)

Implement to return a value from the context storage.

The implementation of this method is required for proper operation of a Context implementation in general Velocity use.

Parameters:

key - key whose associated value is to be returned

Returns:

object stored in the context

internalPut

public abstract java.lang.Object internalPut(java.lang.String key,
                                             java.lang.Object value)

Implement to put a value into the context storage.

The implementation of this method is required for proper operation of a Context implementation in general Velocity use.

Parameters:

key - key with which to associate the value

value - value to be associated with the key

Returns:

previously stored value if exists, or null

internalContainsKey

public abstract boolean internalContainsKey(java.lang.Object key)

Implement to determine if a key is in the storage.

Currently, this method is not used internally by the Velocity engine.

Parameters:

key - key to test for existance

Returns:

true if found, false if not

internalGetKeys

public abstract java.lang.Object[] internalGetKeys()

Implement to return an object array of key strings from your storage.

Currently, this method is not used internally by the Velocity engine.

Returns:

array of keys

internalRemove

public abstract java.lang.Object internalRemove(java.lang.Object key)

I mplement to remove an item from your storage.

Currently, this method is not used internally by the Velocity engine.

Parameters:

key - key to remove

Returns:

object removed if exists, else null

put

public java.lang.Object put(java.lang.String key,
                            java.lang.Object value)

Adds a name/value pair to the context.

Specified by:

put in interface Context

Parameters:

key - The name to key the provided value with.

value - The corresponding value.

Returns:

Object that was replaced in the the Context if applicable or null if not.

get

public java.lang.Object get(java.lang.String key)

Gets the value corresponding to the provided key from the context. Supports the chaining context mechanism. If the 'local' context doesn't have the value, we try to get it from the chained context.

Specified by:

get in interface Context

Parameters:

key - The name of the desired value.

Returns:

The value corresponding to the provided key or null if the key param is null.

containsKey

public boolean containsKey(java.lang.Object key)

Indicates whether the specified key is in the context. Provided for debugging purposes.

Specified by:

containsKey in interface Context

Parameters:

key - The key to look for.
