Direct Known Subclasses:
AliasOptions, IteratorOptions, ParseOptions, PropertyOptions, SerializeOptions

public abstract class Options extends Object
The base class for a collection of 32 flag bits. Individual flags are defined as enum value bit masks. Inheriting classes add convenience accessor methods.

  • Constructor Details

    • Options

      public Options()
      The default constructor.
    • Options

      public Options (int options) throws XMPException
      Constructor with the options bit mask.
      Parameters:
      options - the options bit mask
      Throws:
      XMPException - If the options are not correct
  • Method Details

    • clear

      public void clear()
      Resets the options.
    • isExactly

      public boolean isExactly (int optionBits)
      Parameters:
      optionBits - an option bitmask
      Returns:
      Returns true, if this object is equal to the given options.
    • containsAllOptions

      public boolean containsAllOptions (int optionBits)
      Parameters:
      optionBits - an option bitmask
      Returns:

      public boolean containsOneOf (int optionBits)
      Parameters:
      optionBits - an option bitmask
      Returns:
      Returns true, if this object contain at least one of the given options.
    • getOption

      protected boolean getOption (int optionBit)
      Parameters:
      optionBit - the binary bit or bits that are requested
      Returns:
      Returns if all of the requested bits are set or not.
    • setOption

      public void setOption (int optionBits, boolean value)
      Parameters:
      optionBits - the binary bit or bits that shall be set to the given value
      value - the boolean value to set
    • getOptions

      public int getOptions()
      Is friendly to access it during the tests.
      Returns:
      Returns the options.
    • setOptions

      public void setOptions (int options) throws XMPException
      Parameters:
      options - The options to set.
      Throws:
      XMPException - thrown if the file is not well-formed XML or if the parsing fails
    • equals

      public boolean equals (Object obj)
      Overrides:
      equals in class Object
      See Also:
    • hashCode

      public int hashCode()
      Overrides:
      hashCode in class Object
      See Also:
    • getOptionsString

      public String getOptionsString()
      Creates a human readable string from the set options. Note: This method is quite expensive and should only be used within tests or as
      Returns:
      Returns a String listing all options that are set to true by their name, like "option1 | option4".
    • toString

      public String toString()
      Overrides:
      toString in class Object
      Returns:
      Returns the options as hex bitmask.
    • getValidOptions

      protected abstract int getValidOptions()
      To be implemeted by inheritants.
      Returns:
      Returns a bit mask where all valid option bits are set.
    • defineOptionName

      protected abstract String defineOptionName (int option)
      To be implemeted by inheritants.
      Parameters:
      option - a single, valid option bit.
      Returns:
      Returns a human readable name for an option bit.
    • assertConsistency

      protected void assertConsistency (int options) throws XMPException
      The inheriting option class can do additional checks on the options. Note: For performance reasons this method is only called when setting bitmasks directly. When get- and set-methods are used, this method must be called manually, normally only when the Options-object has been created from a client (it has to be made public therefore).
      Parameters:
      options - the bitmask to check.
      Throws:
      XMPException - Thrown if the options are not consistent.
