Interface Summary

SchemaConceptPropertyManager

an interface that defines the behaviour of a class which returns configuration data about concepts defined in a domain schema.

Class Summary

AttributeFieldConfiguration	holds configuration data about an attribute field.
ComponentSchemaConfiguration	Copyright (c) 2008 Kevin Garwood for Project35.
CustomMenuConfiguration	holds configuration data about a custom menu.
DocumentValidationServiceConfiguration	holds configuration options for a document validation service.
EditFieldConfiguration	describes the configuration options for an edit field of a record.
EditMenuConfiguration	holds configuration data about the Edit menu in a Project35 Dialog.
FieldValidationServiceConfiguration	holds configuration options for a validation service; right now this is an empty service it exists for future extensibility; there may be more properties of field validation services which go beyond properties described in ServiceConfiguration

ListFieldConfiguration	describes configuration for list field in a record.
ListFieldEditingComponentConfiguration	holds configuration data about a Java class which is invoked as an editing component for items in a list field.
MenuFeatureConfigurationParser	holds configuration data about menus; corresponds to the combination of "menu_features" and "existing_menus" records defined in the XML Schema for the Project35 Configuration Tool
OntologyServiceConfiguration	Stores configuration information about an ontology service; corresponds to the "ontology_service" record defined in the XML Schema for the Project35 Configuration Tool
OntologySourceConfiguration	holds configuration data about an ontology source.
OntologyViewerConfiguration	holds configuration data about an ontology viewer.
OptionsMenuConfiguration	holds configuration data about the Options menu in a Project35 Dialog.
PluginConfigurableComponent	a base class for all other configuration classes that can support plugins the class contains code for managing plugin configurations; especially used by the menu configuration objects and the schema concept configuration.
PluginConfiguration	holds configuration data about a plugin.
PluginConfigurationParser	Project35ConfigurationReader delegates to this class when it wants to parse a part of the ConfigurationFile.xml that describes a plugin.
Project35ConfigurationReader	this is the class that holds configuration data that the XML Schema can't express.
RecordConfiguration	holds configuration data about a record type.
RecordConfigurationParser	Project35ConfigurationReader delegates to this class when it wants to parse a part of the ConfigurationFile.xml that describes a record.

Package project35.mda.config Description

This package contains classes which manage the configuration options for the data entry tool which are not covered by the XML Schema. The most significant class, Project35ConfigurationReader, reads a ConfigurationFile.xml file produced by the Project35 Configuration Tool, and uses instances of data container classes to manage the configuration options. The Project35ConfigurationReader is referenced in many parts of the code base and provides a look-up service to find configuration options associated with schema concepts and other parts of the application. Most of the other classes in this package either parse parts of a ConfigurationFile.xml file or hold configuration data. SessionManager manages a file called SessionAspects.xml which holds information about the most recently used files. It also uses an instance of FileLauncher to read the file ./config/FileExtensionsToLaunch.xml. This small file associates file extensions with shell commands which launch other applications. The mappings are used when end-users press the "View" button on a URL field view.
