JRBaseGenericElementParameter

public JRBaseGenericElementParameter(JRGenericElementParameter parameter,
                             JRBaseObjectFactory factory)

Creates a generic element parameter by copying an existing instance.

Parameters:

parameter - the parameter to copy

factory - the object factory to be used for creating sub objects

Method Detail

getName

public String getName()

Description copied from interface: JRGenericElementParameter

Returns the name of the parameter.

The name will be propagated into the generic print element, as in JRGenericPrintElement.setParameterValue(String, Object).

Specified by:

getName in interface JRGenericElementParameter

Returns:

the name of the parameter

getValueExpression

public JRExpression getValueExpression()

Description copied from interface: JRGenericElementParameter

Returns the expression that provides parameter values.

The result of the expression evaluation will be propagated into the generic print element as parameter value, as in JRGenericPrintElement.setParameterValue(String, Object).

Specified by:

getValueExpression in interface JRGenericElementParameter

Returns:

the parameter's value expression

isSkipWhenEmpty

public boolean isSkipWhenEmpty()

Description copied from interface: JRGenericElementParameter

Decides whether the parameter is skipped when its value evaluates to null.

When the parameter's expression evaluates to null and this flag is set and , the parameter is not included in the generated print element. If the flag is not set, the parameter is included with a null value.

Specified by:

isSkipWhenEmpty in interface JRGenericElementParameter

Returns:

whether the parameter is skipped when its value is null

clone

public Object clone()

Specified by:

clone in interface JRCloneable

Overrides:

clone in class Object
