Class PresentationObjectProperties

java.lang.Object
  com.ge.research.acuity.ui.helpers.PresentationObjectProperties

public final class PresentationObjectProperties

extends java.lang.Object

This class encapsulates and displays those properties of a PresentationObject that can be and should be displayed to a user for possible editing. Taking a PresentationObject as a constructor argument, the PresentationObject is introspected to find its members, which are then compared to the list of mapped properties within the PresentationParameterToUIEditPropertyMap instance. The PresentationParameterToUIEditPropertyMap is used to construct the PresentationObjects to display to the user, to allow them to change the value of the PresentationObject attributes. These PresentationObjects are stored in an ordered List for retrieval and rendering by the client application. For each PresentationObject contained by the constructor presentation object, another PresentationObjectProperties object is constructed and stored in the childPOProperties list for retrieval and rendering by the client application.
