Referable | resolve (String id) |
void | addResolvable (String id, Referable referent) |
void | removeResolvable (String id) |
Defines an object resolver but does not specify any implementation.
A lazy resolver would resolve an object given its identifier. The reference to the object will be created with a ResolvableReference object using the resolved and the identifier. When the object is requested, the resolve method will be called to obtain it.
Some implementation will add and remove resolvable objects, e.g. a collection of objects that also acts as a resolver. These methods should implement addResolvable and removeResolvable. Resolvers that do not implement these methods are still considered valid resolvers. For example, a database based resolver will operate consistently without implementing add/remove not through the database interface.
void org.exolab.castor.xml.schema.Resolver.addResolvable | ( | String | id, | |
Referable | referent | |||
) |
Adds a resolvable object to this resolver identified by id
. Subsequent calls to resolve with the same id
will return referent
.
id | The referent's identifier | |
referent | The referent object |

void org.exolab.castor.xml.schema.Resolver.removeResolvable | ( | String | id | ) |
Removes a resolvable object from this resolver. Subsequent calls to resolve with the same id
will return null.
id | The referent's identifier |

Referable org.exolab.castor.xml.schema.Resolver.resolve | ( | String | id | ) |
Called to resolve a reference give the reference's identifier. If the reference is known, this method should return the referenced object. If the reference is unknown, this method should return null.
id | The identifier to resolve |
