Class X3DNodeTypeMapper

java.lang.Object
  org.xj3d.sai.X3DNodeTypeMapper

public class X3DNodeTypeMapper
extends java.lang.Object

A utility class for handling abstract node type functions, Including:

• Associating abstract node type names with their enumerated type constants and vice versa.
• Obtaining the inherited abstract node types of both abstract nodes and 'real' nodes.
• Producing the set of enumerated type constants suitable for return from the X3DNode.getNodeType() method.

Method Detail

getInstance

public static X3DNodeTypeMapper getInstance()

Return the instance of the X3DNodeTypeMapper

Returns:

the instance of the X3DNodeTypeMapper

getInterfaces

public java.lang.String[] getInterfaces(java.lang.String node_name)

Return the array of interface names for the named argument node

Parameters:

node_name - The node for which to determine the interfaces

Returns:

The array of interface names. If the named node does not inherit from any known interfaces, an empty String array is returned. If the named node is unknown, null is returned.

getInterfaceTypes

public int[] getInterfaceTypes(java.lang.String node_name)

Return the array of abstract node types for the named argument node

Parameters:

node_name - The node for which to determine the interfaces

Returns:

The array of abstract node types. If the named node does not inherit from any known interfaces, an empty array is returned. If the named node is unknown, an array containing a single value of -1 is returned.

getInterfaceMap

public java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String[]> getInterfaceMap()

Return an unmodifiable interface map. The map key is the named node. The map value is an array of interface names.

Returns:

The interface map.

getTypeName

public java.lang.String getTypeName(int type)

Return the abstract node type name that cooresponds to the X3DNodeType constant.

Parameters:

type - The X3DNodeType constant

Returns:

The abstract node type name. If the constant does not coorespond to a known type, null is returned.

getType

public int getType(java.lang.String typeName)

Return the X3DNodeType constant that cooresponds to the abstract node type name.

Parameters:

typeName - The abstract node type name.

Returns:

the X3DNodeType constant that cooresponds to the named abstract node type. If the named node type is unknown, -1 is returned.

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] arg)

Test routine to echo out the nodes and inherited types in "spec" format. Will complain if an unknown abstract type is encountered.
