alias

public abstract String alias

Returns:

An alias name for the parameter. Defaults to the empty string (= not set).

Default:

""

itemAlias

public abstract String itemAlias

Returns:

An alias name for the elements of a parameter array. Forces element-wise array conversion from and to DOM representation. Defaults to the empty string (= not set).

See Also:

itemsInlined()

Default:

""

itemsInlined

public abstract boolean itemsInlined

Returns:

If true items of parameter array values are inlined (not enclosed by the parameter name) in the DOM representation of the array. In this case also an (itemAlias has to be set. Defaults to false.

See Also:

itemAlias()

Default:

false

defaultValue

public abstract String defaultValue

Gets the parameter's default value. The default value set is given as a textual representations of the actual value. The framework creates the actual value set by converting the text value to an object using the associated Converter.

Returns:

The default value. Defaults to the empty string (= not set).

converter()

Default:

""

label

public abstract String label

Returns:

A parameter label. Defaults to the empty string (= not set).

Default:

""

unit

public abstract String unit

Returns:

The parameter physical unit. Defaults to the empty string (= not set).

Default:

""

description

public abstract String description

Returns:

The parameter description. Defaults to the empty string (= not set).

Default:

""

valueSet

public abstract String[] valueSet

Gets the set of values which can be assigned to a parameter field. The value set is given as textual representations of the actual values. The framework creates the actual value set by converting each text value to an object value using the associated Converter.

Returns:

The value set.Defaults to empty array (= not set).

See Also:

converter()

Default:

{}

interval

public abstract String interval

Gets the valid interval for numeric parameters, e.g. "[10,20)": in the range 10 (inclusive) to 20 (exclusive).

Returns:

The valid interval. Defaults to empty string (= not set).

Default:

""

condition

public abstract String condition

Gets a conditional expression which must return true in order to indicate that the parameter value is valid, e.g. "value > 2.5".

Returns:

A conditional expression. Defaults to empty string (= not set).

Default:

""

pattern

public abstract String pattern

Gets a regular expression pattern to which a textual parameter value must match in order to indicate a valid value, e.g. "a*".

Returns:

A regular expression pattern. Defaults to empty string (= not set).

See Also:

Pattern

Default:

""

format

public abstract String format
