public interface OMDataSourceExt extends OMDataSource
Interface to a backing object that can can be read and written as XML. To plug an arbitrary object into an OM tree. Follow these steps 1) Provide a class that implements OMDataSourceExt. 2) Use OMFactory.createOMElement(OMDataSource, String, OMNamespace) to build an OMSourcedElement. 3) Add the OMSourcedElement to the OM tree. OMDataSourceExt provides additional methods that are not available on the original OMDataSource.

  • Method Details

    • getObject

      Object getObject()
      Get the object that backs this data source. Application code should in general not call this method directly, but use OMSourcedElement.getObject(Class) instead.

      Data sources that support non destructive read/write should return the object from which the XML is produced. Data sources with destructive read/write should return a non null value only if the backing object has not been consumed yet (even partially).

      Returns:
      the backing object, or null if the data source has no backing object or if the backing object can't be accessed in a safe way

    • isDestructiveRead

      boolean isDestructiveRead()
      Returns true if reading the backing object is destructive. An example of an object with a destructive read is an InputSteam. The owning OMSourcedElement uses this information to detemine if OM tree expansion is needed when reading the OMDataSourceExt.
      Returns:
      boolean

    • isDestructiveWrite

      boolean isDestructiveWrite()
      Returns true if writing the backing object is destructive. An example of an object with a destructive write is an InputStream. The owning OMSourcedElement uses this information to detemine if OM tree expansion is needed when writing the OMDataSourceExt.
      Returns:
      boolean

    • getXMLInputStream

      InputStream getXMLInputStream(String encoding) throws UnsupportedEncodingException
      Deprecated.
      Returns a InputStream representing the xml data
      Parameters:
      encoding - String encoding of InputStream
      Returns:
      InputStream
      Throws:
      UnsupportedEncodingException

    • getXMLBytes

      byte[] getXMLBytes(String encoding) throws UnsupportedEncodingException
      Deprecated.
      Returns a byte[] representing the xml data
      Parameters:
      encoding - String encoding of InputStream
      Returns:
      byte[]
      Throws:
      UnsupportedEncodingException
      See Also:

    • close

      void close()
      Close the DataSource and free its resources.

    • copy

      OMDataSourceExt copy()
      Create a copy of the data source. This method is used by OMInformationItem.clone(OMCloneOptions) when the OMCloneOptions.isCopyOMDataSources() option is enabled. If the data source is immutable and stateless, then it may return a reference to itself instead of creating a new data source instance.
      Returns:
      the copy of the data source, or null if the data source can't be copied (e.g. because it is destructive)

    • hasProperty

      boolean hasProperty(String name)
      Check if a property with the given name is set on this instance.
      Parameters:
      name - the property name
      Returns:
      true if the property is set

    • getProperty

      Object getProperty(String name)
      Get the value of a property stored on this instance.
      Parameters:
      name - the property name
      Returns:
      the property value or null

    • setProperty

      Object setProperty(String name, Object value)
      Set a property on this instance.
      Parameters:
      name - the property name
      value - the property value
      Returns:
      the old property value or null
