Class AbstractPassage

java.lang.Object
  org.crosswire.jsword.passage.AbstractPassage

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, Comparable<Key>, Iterable<Key>, Key, Passage, VerseKey<Passage>

Direct Known Subclasses:

BitwisePassage, DistinctPassage, PassageTally, RangedPassage

public abstract class AbstractPassage
extends Object
implements Passage

This is a base class to help with some of the common implementation details of being a Passage.

Importantly, this class takes care of Serialization in a general yet optimized way. I think I am going to have a look at replacement here.

Specified by:

getName in interface Key

Returns:

a String containing a description of the Key

getName

a String containing the OSIS description of the verses

getOsisID

public String getOsisID()

Description copied from interface: Key

The OSIS defined id specification for this Key. When the key is a single element, it is an OSIS book name with '.' separating the parts. When the key is multiple elements, it uses a space to separate each.

Throws:

IOException - If the file/network etc breaks

readDescription

public void readDescription(Reader in)
                     throws IOException,
                            NoSuchVerseException

optimizeReads

public void optimizeReads()

Description copied from interface: Passage

For performance reasons we may well want to hint to the Passage that we have done editing it for now and that it is safe to cache certain values to speed up future reads. Any action taken by this method will be undone simply by making a future edit, and the only loss in calling optimizeReads() is a loss of time if you then persist in writing to the Passage.

Specified by:

optimizeReads in interface Passage

protected void fireIntervalAdded(Object source,
                                 Verse start,
                                 Verse end)

AbstractPassage subclasses must call this method after one or more elements of the list are added. The changed elements are specified by a closed interval from start to end.

                         Key basis)
                  throws NoSuchVerseException

Create a Passage from a human readable string. The opposite of toString(). Since this method is not public it leaves control of suppress_events up to the people that call it.

Parameters:

refs - A String containing the text of the RangedPassage

basis - The basis for understanding refs

Throws:

NoSuchVerseException - if the string is invalid

normalize

void normalize()

We sometimes need to sort ourselves out ... I don't think we need to be synchronized since we are private and we could check that all public calling of normalize() are synchronized, however this is safe, and I don't think there is a cost associated with a double synchronize. (?)

raiseNormalizeProtection

public void raiseNormalizeProtection()

If things want to prevent normalization because they are doing a set of changes that should be normalized in one go, this is what to call. Be sure to call lowerNormalizeProtection() when you are done.

lowerNormalizeProtection

public void lowerNormalizeProtection()

If things want to prevent normalization because they are doing a set of changes that should be normalized in one go, they should call raiseNormalizeProtection() and when done call this. This also calls normalize() if the count reaches zero.

raiseEventSuppresion

public void raiseEventSuppresion()

If things want to prevent event firing because they are doing a set of changes that should be notified in one go, this is what to call. Be sure to call lowerEventSuppression() when you are done.

lowerEventSuppressionAndTest

public boolean lowerEventSuppressionAndTest()

If things want to prevent event firing because they are doing a set of changes that should be notified in one go, they should call raiseEventSuppression() and when done call this.

Returns:

true if it is then safe to fire an event.

toVerseRange

protected static VerseRange toVerseRange(Versification v11n,
                                         Object base)
                                  throws ClassCastException

Convert the Object to a VerseRange. If base is a Verse then return a VerseRange of zero length.

Parameters:

base - The object to be cast

Returns:

The VerseRange

Throws:

ClassCastException - If this is not a Verse or a VerseRange

writeObjectSupport

protected void writeObjectSupport(ObjectOutputStream out)
                           throws IOException

Write out the object to the given ObjectOutputStream. There are 3 ways of doing this - according to the 3 implementations of Passage.

• Distinct: If we write out a list if verse ordinals then the space used is 4 bytes per verse.
• Bitwise: If we write out a bitmap then the space used is something like 31104/8 = 4k bytes.
• Ranged: The we write a list of start/end pairs then the space used is 8 bytes per range.

Since we can take our time about this section, we calculate the optimal storage method before we do the saving. If some methods come out equal first then bitwise is preferred, then distinct, then ranged, because I imagine that for speed of deserialization this is the sensible order. I've not tested it though.

Parameters:

out - The stream to write our state to

Throws:

IOException - if the read fails

readObject

private void readObject(ObjectInputStream is)
                 throws IOException,
                        ClassNotFoundException

Serialization support.

Parameters:

is -

Throws:

IOException

ClassNotFoundException

readObjectSupport

protected void readObjectSupport(ObjectInputStream is)
                          throws IOException,
                                 ClassNotFoundException

Write out the object to the given ObjectOutputStream

Parameters:

is - The stream to read our state from

Throws:

IOException - if the read fails

ClassNotFoundException - If the read data is incorrect
