  • Method Details

    • getPropertyDescriptors

      public IPropertyDescriptor[] getPropertyDescriptors()
      Description copied from interface: IPropertySource
      Returns the list of property descriptors for this property source. The getPropertyValue and setPropertyValue methods are used to read and write the actual property values by specifying the property ids from these property descriptors.

      Implementors should cache the descriptors as they will be asked for the descriptors with any edit/update. Since descriptors provide cell editors, returning the same descriptors if possible allows for efficient updating.

      Specified by:
      getPropertyDescriptors in interface IPropertySource
      Overrides:
      getPropertyDescriptors in class ResourcePropertySource
      Returns:
      the property descriptors

    • getPropertyValue

      public Object getPropertyValue(Object key)
      Description copied from interface: IPropertySource
      Returns the value of the property with the given id if it has one. Returns null if the property's value is null value or if this source does not have the specified property.
      Specified by:
      getPropertyValue in interface IPropertySource
      Overrides:
      getPropertyValue in class ResourcePropertySource
      Parameters:
      key - the id of the property being set
      Returns:
      the value of the property, or null
