Class AttributeDefinitionInteger

java.lang.Object

com.reqdesign.reqif.Identifiable<AttributeDefinition<T>>

com.reqdesign.reqif.AttributeDefinition<AttributeValueInteger>

com.reqdesign.reqif.AttributeDefinitionInteger

public final class AttributeDefinitionInteger
extends AttributeDefinition<AttributeValueInteger>

This class is the definition of an integer attribute.

This class extends from the base class AttributeDefinition.

The specific form of an AttributeDefinitionInteger in a ReqIF file is as follows:

<ATTRIBUTE-DEFINITION-INTEGER DESC="desc" IS-EDITABLE="isEditable" IDENTIFIER="identifier" LAST-CHANGE="lastChange" LONG-NAME="longName">

The following is the list of XML attributes:

• @DESC optional xsd:string description
• @IS-EDITABLE optional xsd:boolean, if not specified, false is assumed
• @IDENTIFIER required xsd:ID
• @LAST-CHANGE required xsd:dateTime
• @LONG-NAME required xsd:string (Note: currently the reqif.xsd does not enforce this)

Method Detail

getDatatypeDefinitionInteger

public DatatypeDefinitionInteger getDatatypeDefinitionInteger()

Type specific getter for the associated DatatypeDefinition subclass.

Returns:

the associated DatatypeDefinitionInteger object, not null

getDefaultValue

public AttributeValueInteger getDefaultValue()

The default value which can be assigned by the exporting tool if one is specified.

If, during import, an AttributeValueInteger is not specified for a particular SpecElementWithAttributes, and corresponding AttributeDefinitionInteger on the associated SpecType, then the default value if one exists will be the substitute for the missing value otherwise the value null is assumed meaning 'unset'.

Specified by:

getDefaultValue in class AttributeDefinition<AttributeValueInteger>

Returns:

the default value for this AttributeDefinitionInteger

setDefaultValue

public void setDefaultValue(long theValue)
                     throws InvalidValueException,
                            NotFoundException

Sets the default value for this object.

Parameters:

theValue - the long value to set as the default

Throws:

InvalidValueException - if the specified value it outside the permitted range as defined in the associated DatatypeDefinitionInteger object @MIN and @MAX attribute values

NotFoundException - if this AttributeDefinitionInteger has been removed from its SpecType
