Class ExpressionMap

java.lang.Object

com.pega.pegarules.pub.generator.ExpressionMap

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.Map

public class ExpressionMap
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.util.Map

The ExpressionMap class implements the Map interface such that the key must be a non-null String and the value must be an instance of Expression. This class is used in First-Use Assembly, where the parameters identifying referenced processing can be, in the general case, expressions that might need to be evaluated at runtime.

Constructor Detail

ExpressionMap

public ExpressionMap()

Default constructor.

ExpressionMap

public ExpressionMap(java.util.Map aMap)

'Copy' constructor.

Parameters:

aMap - the Map to be copied

Throws:

java.lang.ClassCastException - if an entry in aMap is encountered for which either its key or value is of an inappropriate type

java.lang.NullPointerException - if an entry in aMap is encountered for which either its key or value is null

Method Detail

getExpression

public Expression getExpression(java.lang.String aName)

Identifies the Expression, if any, that is associated with the specified name.

Parameters:

aName - name whose associated Expression is to be returned

Returns:

the Expression associated with the specified name, or null if this instance includes no association for the specified name

putExpression

public void putExpression(java.lang.String aName,
                          Expression aValue)

Associates the specified Expression with the specified name in this instance. Any previous association for this name is replaced.

Parameters:

aName - name with which the specified Expression is to be associated

aValue - Expression to be associated with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if either argument is null

clear

public void clear()

Removes all associations from the collection.

Specified by:

clear in interface java.util.Map

containsKey

public boolean containsKey(java.lang.Object aName)

Identifies whether there is an association for the specified name.

Specified by:

containsKey in interface java.util.Map

Parameters:

aName - name whose presence is to be tested

Returns:

true when this instance includes an association for this name

containsValue

public boolean containsValue(java.lang.Object aValue)

Identifies whether this map maps one or more keys to the specified value.

Specified by:

containsValue in interface java.util.Map

Parameters:

aValue - value whose presence is to be tested

Returns:

true when this instance associates this value with at least one name

entrySet

public java.util.Set entrySet()

Returns a set view of the mappings contained in this instance.

Specified by:

entrySet in interface java.util.Map

Returns:

a set view of the mappings in this instance

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object aObject)

Compares the specified object with this map for equality.

Specified by:

equals in interface java.util.Map

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

aObject -

Returns:

true when this instance is equivalent to the specified object

get

public java.lang.Object get(java.lang.Object aName)

Identifies the value, if any, that is associated with the specified name.

Specified by:

get in interface java.util.Map

Parameters:

aName - name whose associated value is to be returned

Returns:

the value associated with the specified name, or null if this instance includes no association for this name

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns the hash code value for this instance, which will be the hashCode value of the underlying java.util.HashMap.

Specified by:

hashCode in interface java.util.Map

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

the hash code value for this instance

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Inicates whether this map contains no name-value associations.

Specified by:

isEmpty in interface java.util.Map

Returns:

true when this instance contains no name-value associations

keySet

public java.util.Set keySet()

Returns a set view of the keys (names) contained in this instance.

Specified by:

keySet in interface java.util.Map

Returns:

a set view of the keys in this instance

put

public java.lang.Object put(java.lang.Object aName,
                            java.lang.Object aValue)
