Class AbstrMsgFrwdngInfoFactory<Obj extends MsgForwardingInfo>

All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable

Abstract MsgForwardingInfo factory. This class is the base class for factories that create subclasses of org.bzdev.drama.MsgForwdingInfo.

Generally, there will be a class hierarchy of abstract factories matching the class hierarchy for subclasses of the class a factory creates, each responsible for providing parameters for the corresponding subclass. In addition, there will typically be a factory that is not abstract for each class that can be created.

This class does not provide any parameters directly as its only function is to instantiate some parameterized types. The parameters inherited from superclasses are:

  • "timeline" - an integer-keyed set of values that define changes in the object's configuration. Subclasses may provide additional parameters. The default parameters are:
    • "timeline.time" - the time at which timeline parameters are to change. This parameter must be provided if a timeline entry exists. The units are those used by the double-precision time unit for the simulation (for animations, this is generally seconds).
    • "timeline.traceSetMode" - indicates how the parameter "timeline.traceSets" is interpreted. the values are enumeration constants of type TraceSetMode and are used as follows:
      • KEEP - keep the existing trace sets, adding additional ones specified by the parameter "timeline.traceSets".
      • REMOVE - remove the trace sets specified by the parameter "timeline.traceSets".
      • REPLACE - remove all existing trace sets and replace those with the ones specified by the timeline.traceSets parameter.
    • "timeline.traceSets" - a parameter representing a set of TraceSet objects (the three-argument 'add' method is used to add entries).
  • "traceSets" - a set of TraceSets a SimObject will use for tracing. One should use the add and remove factory methods as this parameter refers to a set of values.
