Class DetailsPartField

  • public class DetailsPartField
extends java.lang.Object
    JavaDoc Details-Part Field - Documentation.

    This will scour and retrieve the parts of a vectorized-HTML Java Class Documentation Field Definition for it's various sub-parts. Each JavaDoc generated HTML Page 'Field' details contains some or all of the following sections:

    • Field Name (always the same, i.e. the name of the class)
    • Field Signature
    • Field Description
    • A 'see further' list of links

    The methods in this class will return the subsection as a DotPair pointer-pair, and it shall return null if this section was not found. These methods will throw an DetailsException if passed an invalid Method-HTML-Description part.

    USES, BENEFITS: Primarily, the three classes: DetailsPartConstructor, DetailsPartMethod and DetailsPartField is to help the user avoid trolling through the HTML-Source output of the JavaDoc utility. Having already done that, providing a simple method that can return an index-pointer (vector-location) to the entry or item in a standard JavaDoc Output Page - one could easily automate a build script to insert nicer, pretty-printed HTML-based explanations to further improve their code's documentation.




Stateless Class: This class neither contains any program-state, nor can it be instantiated.

    • Method Detail

      • name

        public static DotPair name​(java.util.Vector<HTMLNode> javaDocFieldHTML)
        This method should be used in conjunction with Details.fieldDetailsIterator(javaDocPage);. The Iterator returned by that method will retrieve JavaDoc entries for the 'Field Details' in a JavaDoc generated vectorized-HTML web-page.

        This retrieves the field name vectorized-HTML.

        HTML Elements:
        1
2
         <h4> [Field Name] </h4>
        Parameters:
        javaDocFieldHTML - This should be the HTML sub-section of a JavaDoc '.html' page which describes the functionality of a single Field in a java class. It can be retrieved by a call to HNLIIterator.next() (after retrieving the HTML Inclusive Iterator for 'Field Details').
        Returns:
        DotPair pointing to HTML for the 'Field Name' part.
        Throws:
        DetailsException - This does a quick check on each invocation to ensure that the vectorized-HTML parameter is actually a 'Field Details' section, retrieved via Details.fieldDetailsIterator(). The section may also be obtained manually (without using the Iterator), but the programmer must ensure the HTML start and end-points are the same as those returned by the Iterator.

      • signature

        public static DotPair signature​
            (java.util.Vector<HTMLNode> javaDocFieldHTML)
        This method should be used in conjunction with Details.fieldDetailsIterator(javaDocPage);. The Iterator returned by that method will retrieve JavaDoc entries for the 'Field Details' in a JavaDoc generated vectorized-HTML web-page.

        This retrieves the field signature vectorized-HTML.

        Parameters:
        javaDocFieldHTML - This should be the HTML sub-section of a JavaDoc '.html' page which describes the functionality of a single Field in a java class. It can be retrieved by a call to HNLIIterator.next() (after retrieving the HTML Inclusive Iterator for 'Field Details').
        Returns:
        DotPair pointing to HTML for the 'Field Signature' part.
        Throws:
        DetailsException - This does a quick check on each invocation to ensure that the vectorized-HTML parameter is actually a 'Field Details' section, retrieved via Details.fieldDetailsIterator(). The section may also be obtained manually (without using the Iterator), but the programmer must ensure the HTML start and end-points are the same as those returned by the Iterator.

      • description

        public static DotPair description​
            (java.util.Vector<HTMLNode> javaDocFieldHTML)
        This method should be used in conjunction with Details.fieldDetailsIterator(javaDocPage);. The Iterator returned by that method will retrieve JavaDoc entries for the 'Field Details' in a JavaDoc generated vectorized-HTML web-page.

        This retrieves the field description vectorized-HTML.

        HTML Elements:

         <div class="block"> ... [Textual Description of Field] ... </div>
        Parameters:
        javaDocFieldHTML - This should be the HTML sub-section of a JavaDoc '.html' page which describes the functionality of a single Field in a java class. It can be retrieved by a call to HNLIIterator.next() (after retrieving the HTML Inclusive Iterator for 'Field Details').
        Returns:
        DotPair pointing to HTML for the 'Field Description' part.
        Throws:
        DetailsException - This does a quick check on each invocation to ensure that the vectorized-HTML parameter is actually a 'Field Details' section, retrieved via Details.fieldDetailsIterator(). The section may also be obtained manually (without using the Iterator), but the programmer must ensure the HTML start and end-points are the same as those returned by the Iterator.

      • see

        public static DotPair see​(java.util.Vector<HTMLNode> javaDocFieldHTML)
        This method should be used in conjunction with Details.fieldDetailsIterator(javaDocPage);. The Iterator returned by that method will retrieve JavaDoc entries for the 'Field Details' in a JavaDoc generated vectorized-HTML web-page.

        This retrieves the field see also vectorized-HTML.
