Interface RuntimeModel

All Known Implementing Classes:
PropertyRuntime, PropertyRuntimeModel, RuntimeModel
public interface RuntimeModel
This RuntimeModel is used by the XL run-time system as an interface to the access of properties. It corresponds to a compile-time model which was used at compile-time: The invocation of CompiletimeModel.getRuntimeName() returns a name, which is passed to RuntimeModelFactory.modelForName(java.lang.String, java.lang.ClassLoader) in order to obtain the corresponding RuntimeModel.

A comprehensive specification of the behaviour of RuntimeModel is given by the specification of the XL programming language.

  • Method Details

    • initialize

      void initialize(String params)
      Initializes this model. This method is invoked by RuntimeModelFactory.modelForName(java.lang.String, java.lang.ClassLoader) after a new Model instance has been created. The format of params depends on implementations of Model.
      Parameters:
      params - initialization parameters, possibly null

    • propertyForName

      RuntimeModel.Property propertyForName(String name, TypeLoader loader)
      Returns the run-time Property for a given name. The name has to be a name which was returned by an invocation of CompiletimeModel.Property.getRuntimeName() for a compile-time property at compile-time. The implementation has to return the corresponding run-time property. If classes have to be loaded, the loader has to be used.
      Parameters:
      name - the name of the property, as returned by the compile-time property
      loader - a loader for loading of classes
      Returns:
      the run-time property corresponding to name

    • propertyForName
