the nesting BeanContext for this BeanContextChildSupport.

addPropertyChangeListener

public void addPropertyChangeListener(String name,
                                      PropertyChangeListener pcl)

Adds a property change listener.

Specified by:

addPropertyChangeListener in interface BeanContextChild

Parameters:

name - The name of the property to listen on

pcl - The PropertyChangeListener to be added

removePropertyChangeListener

public void removePropertyChangeListener(String name,
                                         PropertyChangeListener pcl)

pcl - The PropertyChangeListener to be removed

addVetoableChangeListener

public void addVetoableChangeListener(String name,
                                      VetoableChangeListener vcl)

removeVetoableChangeListener in interface BeanContextChild

Parameters:

name - The name of the property that was listened on

vcl - The VetoableChangeListener to be removed

serviceRevoked

public void serviceRevoked(BeanContextServiceRevokedEvent bcsre)

A service provided by the nesting BeanContext has been revoked. Subclasses may override this method in order to implement their own behaviors.

Specified by:

serviceRevoked in interface BeanContextServiceRevokedListener

Parameters:

bcsre - The BeanContextServiceRevokedEvent fired as a result of a service being revoked

serviceAvailable

public void serviceAvailable(BeanContextServiceAvailableEvent bcsae)

A new service is available from the nesting BeanContext. Subclasses may override this method in order to implement their own behaviors

Specified by:

serviceAvailable in interface BeanContextServicesListener

Parameters:

bcsae - The BeanContextServiceAvailableEvent fired as a result of a service becoming available

getBeanContextChildPeer

public BeanContextChild getBeanContextChildPeer()

Gets the BeanContextChild associated with this BeanContextChildSupport.

Returns:

the BeanContextChild peer of this class

isDelegated

public boolean isDelegated()

Reports whether or not this class is a delegate of another.

Returns:

true if this class is a delegate of another

firePropertyChange

public void firePropertyChange(String name,
                               Object oldValue,
                               Object newValue)

Report a bound property update to any registered listeners. No event is fired if old and new are equal and non-null.

Parameters:

name - The programmatic name of the property that was changed

oldValue - The old value of the property

newValue - The new value of the property

fireVetoableChange

public void fireVetoableChange(String name,
                               Object oldValue,
                               Object newValue)
                        throws PropertyVetoException

Report a vetoable property update to any registered listeners. If anyone vetos the change, then fire a new event reverting everyone to the old value and then rethrow the PropertyVetoException.

No event is fired if old and new are equal and non-null.

Parameters:

name - The programmatic name of the property that is about to change

oldValue - The old value of the property

newValue - - The new value of the property

Throws:

PropertyVetoException - if the recipient wishes the property change to be rolled back.

validatePendingSetBeanContext

public boolean validatePendingSetBeanContext(BeanContext newValue)

Called from setBeanContext to validate (or otherwise) the pending change in the nesting BeanContext property value. Returning false will cause setBeanContext to throw PropertyVetoException.

Parameters:

newValue - the new value that has been requested for the BeanContext property

Returns:

true if the change operation is to be vetoed

releaseBeanContextResources

protected void releaseBeanContextResources()

This method may be overridden by subclasses to provide their own release behaviors. When invoked any resources held by this instance obtained from its current BeanContext property should be released since the object is no longer nested within that BeanContext.

initializeBeanContextResources

protected void initializeBeanContextResources()

This method may be overridden by subclasses to provide their own initialization behaviors. When invoked any resources requried by the BeanContextChild should be obtained from the current BeanContext.
