ABSTRACT
SINGLE bean attribute information
DESCRIPTION
PerlBean::Attribute::Single
contains SINGLE bean attribute information. It is a subclass of PerlBean::Attribute
. The code and documentation methods are implemented.
CONSTRUCTOR
- new (OPT_HASH_REF)
-
Creates a new
PerlBean::Attribute::Single
object.OPT_HASH_REF
is a hash reference used to pass initialization options.OPT_HASH_REF
is mandatory. On error an exceptionError::Simple
is thrown.Options for
OPT_HASH_REF
may include:allow_empty
-
Passed to "setAllowEmpty ()". Defaults to 1.
allow_isa
-
Passed to "setAllowIsa ()". Must be an
ARRAY

-
Passed to "setAllowRx ()". Must be an
ARRAY
reference. allow_value
-
Passed to "setAllowValue ()". Must be an
ARRAY
reference.
Options for
OPT_HASH_REF

METHODS
- getOverloadedAttribute ()
-
This method is inherited from package
'PerlBean::Attribute'
. Searches superclass packages for an identically namedPerlBean::Attribute
. If found it is returned otherwiseundef
is returned - getPackage ()
-
This method is inherited from package
'PerlBean::Attribute'
. Returns the package name. The package name is obtained from thePerlBean
to which thePerlBean::Attribute
belongs. Or, if thePerlBean::Attribute
does not belong to aPerlBean
,main
is returned. - getPackageUS ()
-
This method is inherited from package
'PerlBean::Attribute'
. CallsgetPackage ()
and replaces:+
with C <_>. - type ()
-
This method is inherited from package
'PerlBean::Attribute'
. Determins and returns the type of the attribute. The type is eitherBOOLEAN
,SINGLE
orMULTI
. - writeAllowIsa (FILEHANDLE)
-
Writes
%ALLOW_ISA
line for the attribute.FILEHANDLE
is anIO::Handle
object. - writeAllowRef (FILEHANDLE)
-
Writes
%ALLOW_REF
line for the attribute.FILEHANDLE
is anIO::Handle
object. - writeAllowRx (FILEHANDLE)
-
Writes
%ALLOW_RX
line for the attribute.FILEHANDLE
is anIO::Handle
object. - writeAllowValue (FILEHANDLE)
-
Writes
%ALLOW_VALUE
line for the attribute.FILEHANDLE
is anIO::Handle
object. - writeDefaultValue (FILEHANDLE)
-
This method is an implementation from package
'PerlBean::Attribute'
. Writes%DEFAULT_VALUE
line for the attribute.FILEHANDLE
is anIO::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 anIO::Handle
object. - writeDocInheritMethods (FILEHANDLE)
-
This method is an implementation from package
'PerlBean::Attribute'
. Writes documentation for the access methods for the attribute in the case the attibute methods are inherited.FILEHANDLE
is anIO::Handle
object. - writeDocInit (FILEHANDLE)
-
This method is an implementation from package
'PerlBean::Attribute'
. Writes documentation for_initialize ()
for the attribute.FILEHANDLE
is anIO::Handle
object. - writeDocMethods (FILEHANDLE)
-
This method is an implementation from package
'PerlBean::Attribute'
. Writes documentation for the access methods for the attribute.FILEHANDLE
is anIO::Handle
object. - writeMethods (FILEHANDLE)
-
This method is an implementation from package
'PerlBean::Attribute'
. Writes the access methods for the attribute.FILEHANDLE
is anIO::Handle
object. - writeOptInit (FILEHANDLE)
-
This method is an implementation from package
'PerlBean::Attribute'
. Writes_initialize ()
option parsing code for the attribute.FILEHANDLE
is anIO::Handle
object. - setAllowEmpty (VALUE)
-
State that the attribute is allowed to be empty.
VALUE
is the value. Default value at initialization is1
. On error an exceptionError::Simple
is thrown. - isAllowEmpty ()
-
Returns whether the attribute is allowed to be empty or not.
- setAllowIsa (ARRAY)
-
Set the list of allowed classes absolutely.
ARRAY
is the list value. Each element in the list is allowed to occur only once. Multiple occurences of the same element yield in the last occuring element to be inserted and the rest to be ignored. On error an exceptionError::Simple
is thrown. - addAllowIsa (ARRAY)
-
Add additional values on the list of allowed classes.
ARRAY
is the list value. The addition may not yield to multiple identical elements in the list. Hence, multiple occurences of the same element cause the last occurence to be inserted. On error an exceptionError::Simple
is thrown. - deleteAllowIsa (ARRAY)
-
Delete elements from the list of allowed classes. Returns the number of deleted elements. On error an exception
Error::Simple
is thrown. - existsAllowIsa (ARRAY)
-
Returns the count of items in
ARRAY
that are in the list of allowed classes. - valuesAllowIsa ()
-
Returns an
ARRAY
containing all values of the list of allowed classes. - setAllowRef (ARRAY)
-
Set the list of allowed references absolutely.
ARRAY
is the list value. Each element in the list is allowed to occur only once. Multiple occurences of the same element yield in the last occuring element to be inserted and the rest to be ignored. On error an exceptionError::Simple
is thrown. - addAllowRef (ARRAY)
-
Add additional values on the list of allowed references.
ARRAY

Error::Simple
is thrown. - existsAllowRef (ARRAY)
