Class StringContent

java.lang.Object
  javax.swing.text.StringContent

All Implemented Interfaces:

AbstractDocument.Content, Serializable

public final class StringContent

extends Object

implements AbstractDocument.Content, Serializable

An implementation of the AbstractDocument.Content interface that is a brute force implementation that is useful for relatively small documents and/or debugging. It manages the character content as a simple character array. It is also quite inefficient.

It is generally recommended that the gap buffer or piece table implementations be used instead. This buffer does not scale up to large sizes.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans^TM has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

Nested Class Summary

(package private) class	StringContent.InsertUndo UnoableEdit created for inserts.
(package private) class	StringContent.PosRec holds the data for a mark... separately from the real mark so that the real mark can be collected if there are no more references to it.... the update table holds only a reference to this grungy thing.
(package private) class	StringContent.RemoveUndo UndoableEdit created for removes.
(package private) class	StringContent.StickyPosition This really wants to be a weak reference but in 1.1 we don't have a 100% pure solution for this... so this class trys to hack a solution to causing the marks to be collected.
(package private) class	StringContent.UndoPosRef Used to hold a reference to a Position that is being reset as the result of removing from the content.

Constructor Detail

StringContent

public StringContent()

Creates a new StringContent object. Initial size defaults to 10.

StringContent

public StringContent(int initialLength)

Creates a new StringContent object, with the initial size specified. If the length is < 1, a size of 1 is used.

Parameters:

initialLength - the initial size

Method Detail

length

public int length()

Returns the length of the content.

Specified by:

length in interface AbstractDocument.Content

Returns:

the length >= 1

See Also:

AbstractDocument.Content.length()

insertString

public UndoableEdit insertString(int where,
                                 String str)
                          throws BadLocationException

Inserts a string into the content.

Specified by:

insertString in interface AbstractDocument.Content

Parameters:

where - the starting position >= 0 && < length()

str - the non-null string to insert

Returns:

an UndoableEdit object for undoing

Throws:

BadLocationException - if the specified position is invalid

See Also:

AbstractDocument.Content.insertString(int, java.lang.String)

remove

public UndoableEdit remove(int where,
                           int nitems)
                    throws BadLocationException

Removes part of the content. where + nitems must be < length().

Specified by:

remove in interface AbstractDocument.Content

Parameters:

where - the starting position >= 0

nitems - the number of characters to remove >= 0

Returns:

an UndoableEdit object for undoing

Throws:

BadLocationException - if the specified position is invalid

See Also:

AbstractDocument.Content.remove(int, int)

getString

public String getString(int where,
                        int len)
                 throws BadLocationException

Retrieves a portion of the content. where + len must be <= length().

Specified by:

getString in interface AbstractDocument.Content

Parameters:

where - the starting position >= 0

len - the length to retrieve >= 0

Returns:

a string representing the content; may be empty

Throws:

BadLocationException - if the specified position is invalid

See Also:

AbstractDocument.Content.getString(int, int)

getChars

public void getChars(int where,
                     int len,
                     Segment chars)
              throws BadLocationException

Retrieves a portion of the content. where + len must be <= length()

Specified by:

getChars in interface AbstractDocument.Content

Parameters:

where - the starting position >= 0

len - the number of characters to retrieve >= 0

chars - the Segment object to return the characters in

Throws:

BadLocationException - if the specified position is invalid

See Also:

AbstractDocument.Content.getChars(int, int, javax.swing.text.Segment)

createPosition

public Position createPosition(int offset)
                        throws BadLocationException

Creates a position within the content that will track change as the content is mutated.

Specified by:
