      jmri.managers.configurexml.AbstractSensorManagerConfigXML

All Implemented Interfaces:

XmlAdapter

Direct Known Subclasses:

AbstractSensorManagerConfigXML, AcelaSensorManagerXml, CbusSensorManagerXml, EcosSensorManagerXml, InternalSensorManagerXml, LnSensorManagerXml, NceSensorManagerXml, RpsSensorManagerXml, SerialSensorManagerXml, SerialSensorManagerXml, SerialSensorManagerXml, SerialSensorManagerXml, SerialSensorManagerXml, SerialSensorManagerXml, XNetSensorManagerXml

public abstract class AbstractSensorManagerConfigXML
extends AbstractNamedBeanManagerConfigXML

Provides the abstract base and store functionality for configuring SensorManagers, working with AbstractSensorManagers.

Typically, a subclass will just implement the load(Element sensors) class, relying on implementation here to load the individual sensors. Note that these are stored explicitly, so the resolution mechanism doesn't need to see *Xml classes for each specific Sensor or AbstractSensor subclass at store time.

Method Detail

store

public Element store(Object o)

Default implementation for storing the contents of a SensorManager

Parameters:

o - Object to store, of type SensorManager

Returns:

Element containing the complete info

setStoreElementClass

public abstract void setStoreElementClass(Element sensors)

Subclass provides implementation to create the correct top element, including the type information. Default implementation is to use the local class here.

Parameters:

sensors - The top-level element being created

load

public abstract boolean load(Element sensors)

Create a SensorManager object of the correct class, then register and fill it.

Parameters:

sensors - Top level Element to unpack.

Returns:

true if successful

loadSensors

public boolean loadSensors(Element sensors)

Utility method to load the individual Sensor objects. If there's no additional info needed for a specific sensor type, invoke this with the parent of the set of Sensor elements.

Parameters:

sensors - Element containing the Sensor elements to load.

Returns:

true if succeeded
