public class HWMBasePanel
extends javax.swing.JPanel
implements IHWMControl, HWMEventListener, java.io.Externalizable

Title: HWMBasePanel

Description: A basic panel class that all other panel beans can derive from. Functionality such as enabling/disabling, making UI visible/invisible, foreground/background colors are implemented in this class, and hence need not be reimplemented in the derived panel bean

Method Detail

Enable

public void Enable()

Providing "Enable" method rather than overriding java's "enable" method because of the following reasons: 1> enable is deprecated 2> It does nothing visually for some controls like button 3> setEnabled calls enable/disable in the base class once it changes the UI. So overriding enable or disable and then invoking setEnabled will lead to a loop where this class's enable/disable will call setEnabled on the super class and that would in turn call enable/disable in this class.

Disable

public void Disable()

Providing "Disable" method rather than overriding java's "disable" method because of the following reasons: 1> disable is deprecated 2> It does nothing visually for some controls like button 3> setEnabled calls enable/disable in the base class once it changes the UI. So overriding enable or disable and then invoking setEnabled will lead to a loop where this class's enable/disable will call setEnabled on the super class and that would in turn call enable/disable in this class.

removeHWMCmdEventListener

public void removeHWMCmdEventListener(HWMCmdEventListener hwmCmdEventListener)

Removes the listener from the vector of listeners

Parameters:

hwmCmdEventListener - The listener object to remove

addHWMCmdEventListener

public void addHWMCmdEventListener(HWMCmdEventListener hwmCmdEventListener)

Adds the listener to the vector of listeners

Parameters:

hwmCmdEventListener - The listener object to add

setFont

public void setFont(java.awt.Font font)

Sets the font for all the controls in the panel

Overrides:

setFont in class javax.swing.JComponent

Parameters:

font - The new font for the panel

setBackground

public void setBackground(java.awt.Color colBckGround)

Sets the background color for all the controls except combo box, textfield and text area) in the panel

Overrides:

setBackground in class javax.swing.JComponent

Parameters:

colBckGround - background color

setForeground

public void setForeground(java.awt.Color colForeGround)

Sets the foreground color for all the controls except combo box, textfield and text area) in the panel

Overrides:

setForeground in class javax.swing.JComponent

Parameters:

colForeGround - foreground color

writeExternal

public void writeExternal(java.io.ObjectOutput objOutput)
                   throws java.io.IOException

Save the data

Specified by:

writeExternal in interface java.io.Externalizable

Throws:

java.io.IOException

readExternal

public void readExternal(java.io.ObjectInput objInput)
                  throws java.io.IOException,
                         java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Read the data back again and update the UI too

Specified by:

readExternal in interface java.io.Externalizable

Throws:

java.io.IOException

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

HWMEventCallback

public void HWMEventCallback(HWMEvent hwmEvent)

This method is called when the execution of a method succeeds

Specified by:

HWMEventCallback in interface HWMEventListener

Parameters:

hwmEvent - The event object that contains the event information

SetFrameWork

public void SetFrameWork(IHWMFrameWork hwmFrameWork)

This method is called by the HWM Application to set the interface with which a bean can communicate directly with the HWM application.

Specified by:

SetFrameWork in interface IHWMControl

Parameters:

hwmFrameWork - The interface with which a bean can communicate with the HWM application.

GetFrameWork

public IHWMFrameWork GetFrameWork()

Returns the interface using which a bean can communicate directly with the HWM application.

Returns:

IHWMFrameWork The interface with which a bean can communicate with the HWM application.

SetBeanName

public void SetBeanName(java.lang.String strBeanName)

Set the name of the bean

Specified by:

SetBeanName in interface IHWMControl

Parameters:

strBeanName - The name of this bean as the framework knows it to be. Will be useful, if the bean chooses to scope its data in the datamodel - especially if multiple instances of the same bean appear in the process

GetBeanName

public java.lang.String GetBeanName()

Get the name of this bean (the name was assigned by the EPIC framework)

Returns:

String The bean name

OnExit

public void OnExit()

Invoked by the HWM application when the bean is being destroyed. Any uninitializations to be done, can be done here by overriding this method.

Specified by:

OnExit in interface IHWMControl

Run

public void Run()

Invoked by the HWM application when all the beans are loaded and the application can run. Beans that need to perform some action once all the beans are loaded can do it here. The container will call 'Run' on all the beans that have implemented the IHWMControl. The order will be: a> First call "Run" on all the beans in pages associated with a task. Begin with the first task. b> Call 'Run' on rest of the pages (which are not associated with a task). The pages are selected based on their order of creation. c> Within a page, the beans are invoked depending on the order of their creation.

Specified by:

Run in interface IHWMControl

Play

public void Play()

The play method needs to execute the functionaliy. This may be invoked in the replay mode.

Specified by:

Play in interface IHWMControl

SaveProperties

public void SaveProperties()

Save the required properties in the datamodel (so that they persist)

ReadProperties

public void ReadProperties()

Get the required properties from the datamodel and initialize self
