public class MirrorPort
extends TypedIOPort

This port mirrors the properties of an associated port. That is, if either this port or the associated port is changed by setInput(), setOutput(), setMultiport(), or if it is removed by setContainer(null), or its name is changed by setName(), then the mirror port gets the same changes. The changes are also applied to derived ports (ports that mirror this one because of the class mechanism).

Users of this class must override their clone(Workspace) method to re-establish appropriate port associations in the clone. Cloning this port results in a clone with no associations.

Constructor Detail

MirrorPort

public MirrorPort(Workspace workspace)
           throws IllegalActionException

Construct a port in the specified workspace with an empty string as a name. You can then change the name with setName(). If the workspace argument is null, then use the default workspace. The object is added to the workspace directory. Increment the version number of the workspace.

Parameters:

workspace - The workspace that will list the port.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If port parameters cannot be initialized.

MirrorPort

public MirrorPort(ComponentEntity container,
                  java.lang.String name)
           throws IllegalActionException,
                  NameDuplicationException

Create a new instance of a port.

Parameters:

container - The container for the port.

name - The name of the port.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the container does not implement TypedActor.

NameDuplicationException - If the name matches that of a port already in the container.

Method Detail

clone

public java.lang.Object clone(Workspace workspace)
                       throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

Clone the object into the specified workspace. This overrides the base class to unset the associated port. Users of this class are responsible for resetting it in their clone methods.

Overrides:

clone in class TypedIOPort

Parameters:

workspace - The workspace for the new object.

Returns:

A new NamedObj.

Throws:

java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException - If any of the attributes cannot be cloned.

See Also:

NamedObj.exportMoML(java.io.Writer, int, String)

getAssociatedPort

public MirrorPort getAssociatedPort()

Return the associated port, or null if there is none.

Returns:

The associated port, or null if there is none.

See Also:

setAssociatedPort(MirrorPort)

setAssociatedPort

public void setAssociatedPort(MirrorPort port)

Specify an associated port. Once this is specified, then any changes made to this port (its name, whether it is an input or output, and whether it is a multiport) are mirrored in the associated port, and any changes made in the associated port are mirrored here.

Parameters:

port - The associated port.

See Also:

getAssociatedPort()

setContainer

public void setContainer(Entity container)
                  throws IllegalActionException,
                         NameDuplicationException

Override the base class so that if the container is being set to null, then the associated port is also deleted (via a change request). Note that if the container of this port is changed to something other than null, there is no reasonable basis for changing the container of the associated port, so it is left unchanged.

Overrides:

setContainer in class IOPort

Parameters:

container - The proposed container.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the proposed container is not a ComponentEntity, doesn't implement Actor, or has no name, or the port and container are not in the same workspace. Or it's not null

NameDuplicationException - If the container already has a port with the name of this port.

See Also:

Port.getContainer(), Port._checkContainer(Entity)

setInput

public void setInput(boolean isInput)
              throws IllegalActionException

Override the base class to also set the associated port, if there is one.

Overrides:

setInput in class IOPort

Parameters:

isInput - True to make this an input port.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If changing the port status is not permitted.

setMultiport

public void setMultiport(boolean isMultiport)
                  throws IllegalActionException

Override the base class to also set the associated port, if there is one.

Overrides:

setMultiport in class IOPort

Parameters:

isMultiport - True to make this a multiport.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If changing the port status is not permitted.

setName

public void setName(java.lang.String name)
             throws IllegalActionException,
                    NameDuplicationException

Override the base class to also set the associated port, if there is one.

Specified by:

setName in interface Nameable

Overrides:

setName in class Port

Parameters:

name - The new name.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the name has a period.

NameDuplicationException - If there is already a port with the same name in the container.

See Also:

NamedObj.getName(), NamedObj.getName(NamedObj)

setOutput

public void setOutput(boolean isOutput)
               throws IllegalActionException

Override the base class to also set the associated port, if there is one.

Overrides:

setOutput in class IOPort

Parameters:

isOutput - True to make this an output port.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If changing the port status is not permitted.
