Class AbstractNode

java.lang.Object
  org.web3d.vrml.renderer.common.nodes.AbstractNode

All Implemented Interfaces:

VRMLNode, FrameStateListener, VRMLNodeType

Direct Known Subclasses:

BaseBindableNode, BaseComponentGeometryNode, BaseGeometricPropertyNode, BaseGroupingNode, BaseInterpolatorNode, BaseLightNode, BaseMetadataObjectNode, BaseSensorNode, BaseSequencerNode, BaseTextureNode, BaseTimeDependentNode, NRNode

public abstract class AbstractNode
extends java.lang.Object
implements VRMLNodeType

Base node for all implementations that define their own field handling.

Each node will keep its own fieldDeclarations and fieldMaps. These will be created in a static constructor so only one copy per class will be created.

Each node will maintain its own LAST_*_INDEX which tells others what the last field declared by this node.

Specified by:

allEventsComplete in interface FrameStateListener

setErrorReporter

public void setErrorReporter(ErrorReporter reporter)

Register an error reporter with the engine so that any errors generated by the node's internals can be reported in a nice, pretty fashion. Setting a value of null will clear the currently set reporter. If one is already set, the new value replaces the old.

Specified by:

isDEF in interface VRMLNode

Returns:

true if this node has been DEFd

getSecondaryType

Specified by:

setDEF in interface VRMLNodeType

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - The setup is finished.

getRefCount

public int getRefCount(int layer)

Parameters:

layer - The id of the layer to get the ref count for

Returns:

The number of references to this node

updateRefCount

Parameters:

layer - The id of the layer to modify the ref count on

add - true to increment the reference count, false to decrement

The array will always be exactly equal in length to the number of IDs that reference this node.

Specified by:

getLayerIds in interface VRMLNodeType

Returns:

An array of all the IDs referencing this node or null if none

getRemovedLayerIds

public int[] getRemovedLayerIds()

Specified by:

getRemovedLayerIds in interface VRMLNodeType

Returns:

An array of all the IDs this is delete from or null if none

Specified by:

setFrameStateManager in interface VRMLNodeType

If the field number is not recognized for this node then this returns false.

Specified by:

hasFieldChanged in interface VRMLNodeType

Parameters:

index - The index of the field to change.

Returns:

true if the field has changed since last read

sendRoute

                      int destIndex)

Send a routed value from this node to the given destination node. Empty implementation in the base class. Derived classes will need to override this to make route management work.

Specified by:

sendRoute in interface VRMLNodeType

Parameters:

time - The time that this route occurred (not necessarily epoch time. Should be treated as a relative value only)

srcIndex - The index of the field in this node that the value should be sent from

destNode - The node reference that we will be sending the value to

destIndex - The index of the field in the destination node that the value should be sent to.

notifyExternProtoLoaded

public void notifyExternProtoLoaded(int index,
                                    VRMLNodeType node)
                             throws InvalidFieldValueException

Notify a node that an ExternProto has resolved. This will verify the objects type and add it to the render sceneGraph.

Specified by:

notifyExternProtoLoaded in interface VRMLNodeType

Parameters:

index - The field index

node - The node resolved

Throws:

InvalidFieldValueException - If the proto contains he wrong type

fireFieldChanged

protected void fireFieldChanged(int index)

Send a notification to the registered listeners that a field has been changed. If no listeners have been registered, then this does nothing, so always call it regardless.

Parameters:

index - The index of the field that changed

checkNodeType

protected void checkNodeType(VRMLNodeType node)

Check to see if the supplied node type is the same as this node. It does a case sensitive string comparison based on thier node name. If they are not the same then an IllegalArgumentException is thrown. If the same, nothing happens.

Parameters:

node - The node to check

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - The nodes are not the same

checkSecondaryType

protected static void checkSecondaryType(VRMLNodeType instance,
                                         int type,
                                         java.lang.String msg)

Verify that one of a protoInstance's secondary type is the supplied type. This method will throw an InvalidFieldValueException if its not the right type.

Parameters:

instance - The proto instance

type - The type to check for

msg - The error to message for the InvalidFieldValueException thrown

Throws:

InvalidFieldValueException

checkSecondaryType

protected static void checkSecondaryType(VRMLNodeType instance,
                                         int[] type,
                                         java.lang.String msg)

Verify that one of a protoInstance's secondary type is one of the supplied types. This method will throw an InvalidFieldValueException if its not the right type.

Parameters:

instance - The proto instance

type - The types to check for

msg - The error to message for the InvalidFieldValueException thrown

Throws:

InvalidFieldValueException

updateRefs

protected void updateRefs(VRMLNodeType node,
                          boolean add)

Internal convenience method to update references on the given child node of the current node.

Parameters:

node - The child node of this group to send updates to

add - true if this is adding a new reference, false for delete
