NAME

PerlBean::Attribute::Multi - contains MULTI bean attribute information

SYNOPSIS

None. This is an abstract class.

ABSTRACT

MULTI bean attribute abstraction

DESCRIPTION

PerlBean::Attribute::Multi is a subclass of PerlBean::Attribute and it's only function is to group the MULTI attribute classes.

CONSTRUCTOR

new (OPT_HASH_REF)

Creates a new PerlBean::Attribute::Multi object. OPT_HASH_REF is a hash reference used to pass initialization options. OPT_HASH_REF is mandatory. On error an exception Error::Simple is thrown.

Options for OPT_HASH_REF inherited through package PerlBean::Attribute may include:

attribute_name: Passed to "setAttributeName ()". Mandatory option.
default_value: Passed to "setDefaultValue ()".
exception_class: Passed to "setExceptionClass ()". Defaults to Error::Simple.
mandatory: Passed to "setMandatory ()". Defaults to 0.
method_base: Passed to "setMethodBase ()".
perl_bean: Passed to "setPerlBean ()".
short_description: Passed to "setShortDescription ()".

Options for OPT_HASH_REF inherited through package PerlBean::Attribute::Single may include:

allow_empty: Passed to "setAllowEmpty ()". Defaults to 1.
allow_isa: Passed to "setAllowIsa ()". Must be an ARRAY reference.
allow_ref: Passed to "setAllowRef ()". Must be an ARRAY reference.
allow_rx: Passed to "setAllowRx ()". Must be an ARRAY reference.
allow_value: Passed to "setAllowValue ()". Must be an ARRAY reference.

METHODS

getOverloadedAttribute (): This method is inherited from package 'PerlBean::Attribute'. Searches superclass packages for an identically named PerlBean::Attribute. If found it is returned otherwise undef is returned
getPackage (): This method is inherited from package 'PerlBean::Attribute'. Returns the package name. The package name is obtained from the PerlBean to which the PerlBean::Attribute belongs. Or, if the PerlBean::Attribute does not belong to a PerlBean, main is returned.
getPackageUS (): This method is inherited from package 'PerlBean::Attribute'. Calls getPackage () and replaces :+ with C <_>.
type (): This method is inherited from package 'PerlBean::Attribute'. Determins and returns the type of the attribute. The type is either BOOLEAN, SINGLE or MULTI.
writeAllowIsa (FILEHANDLE): This method is inherited from package 'PerlBean::Attribute::Single'. Writes %ALLOW_ISA line for the attribute. FILEHANDLE is an IO::Handle object.
writeAllowRef (FILEHANDLE): This method is inherited from package 'PerlBean::Attribute::Single'. Writes %ALLOW_REF line for the attribute. FILEHANDLE is an IO::Handle object.
writeAllowRx (FILEHANDLE): This method is inherited from package 'PerlBean::Attribute::Single'. Writes %ALLOW_RX line for the attribute. FILEHANDLE is an IO::Handle object.
writeAllowValue (FILEHANDLE): This method is inherited from package 'PerlBean::Attribute::Single'. Writes %ALLOW_VALUE line for the attribute. FILEHANDLE is an IO::Handle object.
writeDefaultValue (FILEHANDLE): This method is overloaded from package 'PerlBean::Attribute::Single'. Writes %DEFAULT_VALUE line for the attribute. FILEHANDLE is an IO::Handle object.
writeDocClauses (FILEHANDLE): This method is inherited from package 'PerlBean::Attribute'. Writes documentation for the clauses to which the contents the contents of the attribute must adhere. FILEHANDLE is an IO::Handle object.
writeDocInheritMethods (FILEHANDLE): This method is overloaded from package 'PerlBean::Attribute::Single'. Writes documentation for the access methods for the attribute in the case the attibute methods are inherited. FILEHANDLE is an IO::Handle object. As package PerlBean::Attribute::Multi is intended to group its subclasses this method actually throws an exception.
writeDocInit (FILEHANDLE): This method is overloaded from package 'PerlBean::Attribute::Single'. Writes documentation for _initialize () for the attribute. FILEHANDLE is an IO::Handle object.
writeDocMethods (FILEHANDLE): This method is overloaded from package 'PerlBean::Attribute::Single'. Writes documentation for the access methods for the attribute. FILEHANDLE is an IO::Handle object. As package PerlBean::Attribute::Multi is intended to group its subclasses this method actually throws an exception.
writeMethods (FILEHANDLE): This method is overloaded from package 'PerlBean::Attribute::Single'. Writes the access methods for the attribute. FILEHANDLE is an IO::Handle object. As package PerlBean::Attribute::Multi is intended to group its subclasses this method actually throws an exception.
writeOptInit (FILEHANDLE): This method is overloaded from package 'PerlBean::Attribute::Single'. Writes _initialize () option parsing code for the attribute. FILEHANDLE is an IO::Handle object.
