serialize
Description copied from interface:IReportItem
Serializes the model given the property name. The property is visible to BIRT and its type isXMLPropertyType
. The serialized data must be Unicode text. XML is preferred, but any text format is legal. If the model is binary, then one solution is to serialize the model as Base64 encoded data.- Specified by:
serialize
in interfaceIReportItem
- Parameters:
propName
- the model property name to serialize- Returns:
- a byte array that represents the serialized extended element model.
-
deserialize
Description copied from interface:IReportItem
Deserializes the model. The property is visible to BIRT and its type isXMLPropertyType
. The data provided will be that created by theserialize
method. A well-written extension will handle two exceptional cases. First, it will handle all previous versions of this same extension. Second, it will handle erroneous input, perhaps created when a human editied the saved state by hand.- Specified by:
deserialize
in interfaceIReportItem
- Parameters:
propName
- the model property name to deserializedata
- a byte array stream containing the serialized data- Throws:
ExtendedElementException
- if the serialized model is invalid
-
getPropertyDefinitions
Description copied from interface:IReportItem
Gets the list of all the property definitions that the extended element model has.- Specified by:
getPropertyDefinitions
in interfaceIReportItem
- Returns:
- the dynamic property list of the extended element model
-
getProperty
Description copied from interface:IReportItem
Returns the value of a public property. Returns null if the property is not defined. If theIReportItemFactory
class defines a property, then this method must accept that property name.Property names can be separated with dots and can include array indexes. For example: barColors[1].pattern. This will occur if a property is defined as a list or structure.
If the report element support styles or inheritance, then a return value of
null
means that the value should be inherited. BIRT will use its normal inheritance mechanisms to locate the value. If the extended element does not support inheritance or styles, then this method must return the value of each property, including defaults if the value has not yet been set.- Specified by:
getProperty
in interfaceIReportItem
- Parameters:
propName
- the name of the property to get- Returns:
- the property value as one of the supported BIRT property types: String, Integer, Double, BigDecimal, etc.
-
checkProperty
Description copied from interface:IReportItem
Checks the value of a property prior to setting it. BIRT calls this operation before setting the value. See thesetProperty
method for details on the process for setting a property value.- Specified by:
checkProperty
in interfaceIReportItem
- Parameters:
propName
- the name of the property to checkvalue
- the new property value as one of the supported BIRT types- Throws:
ExtendedElementException
- if the property value is invalid or the property name is invalid- See Also:
-
setProperty
Description copied from interface:IReportItem
Sets the value of a property. This operation is done in response to a BIRT-defined command. That is, this method call is the result of an application using the BIRT Model API to set a property. BIRT will have validated the property using thecheckProperty
method, and will have created a command to set the property.If this element supports styles or inheritance, then the value can be
null
, which means to clear the property value so that it will inherit from the base element or the style.- Specified by:
setProperty
in interfaceIReportItem
- Parameters:
propName
- the name of the property to setvalue
- the new property value as one of the supported BIRT types- See Also:
-
validate
Description copied from interface:IReportItem
Performs a semantic check on the report item. The extended element can use this to validate the values of properties, to ensure that a set of values are consistent, etc.- Specified by:
validate
in interfaceIReportItem
- Returns:
- List List contains ExtendedElementException.
-
copy
Description copied from interface:IReportItem
Creates deep copy of the IReportItem and return the new element.- Specified by:
copy
in interfaceIReportItem
- Returns:
- the deep copied IReportItem
-
refreshPropertyDefinition
public boolean refreshPropertyDefinition()Description copied from interface:IReportItem
Justifies whether the property list of the extended element is changed.- Specified by:
refreshPropertyDefinition
in interfaceIReportItem
- Returns:
- true if the property list of the extended element is changed, otherwise false
-
getMethods
Description copied from interface:IReportItem
Returns the method definition list of extension elements. Each object in the list is instance ofIElementPropertyDefn
.- Specified by:
getMethods
in interfaceIReportItem
- Returns:
- the method definition list.
-
getScriptPropertyDefinition
Description copied from interface:IReportItem
Gets the script property definition of this report item.- Specified by:
getScriptPropertyDefinition
in interfaceIReportItem
- Returns:
- the script property definition of this report item
-
getSimpleElement
Description copied from interface:IReportItem
Returns the interface for script operations. If the extension element want to provide multi row data function, need to extend simpleapi.IMultiRowItem and extension.MultiRowItem; If not, need to extend simpleapi.IReportItem and extension.SimpleRowItem.- Specified by:
getSimpleElement
in interfaceIReportItem
- Returns:
- the simple interface
-
getPredefinedStyles
Description copied from interface:IReportItem
Gets list of the predefined styles. Each one in the list can be one of the following instance:String
IStyleDeclaration
- Specified by:
getPredefinedStyles
in interfaceIReportItem

-
getMethods
Description copied from interface:IReportItem
Returns the method info list of extension elements. Each object in the list is instance ofIMethodInfo
.- Specified by:
getMethods
in interfaceIReportItem
- Parameters:
methodName
- the method name- Returns:
- the method definition list.
-
checkCompatibility
Description copied from interface:ICompatibleReportItem

checkCompatibility
in interfaceICompatibleReportItem
- Returns:
- the compatibility status.
-
getRowExpressions
Description copied from interface:ICompatibleReportItem
Returns a list containing the possible JavaScript expressions. During parsing the design file, this method is automatically called to add bound data columns so that the design file before BIRT 2.1.0 can be compatible with BIRT 2.1.0 or later.- Specified by:
