Method Detail

copyToNewGPNodeArray

public static GPNode[] copyToNewGPNodeArray(GPNode[] origNodes)

Deprecated. -- this should use a FilterNode

creates an array of new GPNode objects without from the origNodes. Use this in case you need to "cut" the children below your nodes for some reason, e.g. because you want to display a list of children in a Tree

Parameters:

origNodes - the nodes with children that need to be cut off

Returns:

an array of new GPNode objects that refer to the same beans as the GPNodes passed as argument

haveOneCommonParent

public static boolean haveOneCommonParent(GPNode[] nodes)

checks whether the nodes in the array all have a common parent

Returns:

true if there is a parent and it's the same for all nodes, false otherwise

cloneNodes

public static GPNode[] cloneNodes(GPNode[] origNodes)

a method that creates a new array of GPNodes with copies of the original GPNodes The domain beans associated with the GPNodes are not copied.

Parameters:

origNodes - the array of nodes to be cloned

Returns:

the array of copied nodes
