public class STosObj

extends java.lang.Object

implements SObjFunction

This class implements a Tea command that behaves like an TOS object.

Constructor Summary

STosObj(STosClass theClass)
Initializes a new TOS object.

Method Summary

java.lang.Object	exec(SObjFunction obj, SContext context, java.lang.Object[] args) This is the dispatch method.
STosClass	getTosClass() Retrieves the class object this TOS object is an instance of.
void	init(SContext context, java.lang.Object[] args)
STosObj	part(int level) Retrieves the part of this TOS object at level level.
STosObj	selfObj() Retrieves the TOS object this object is part of.

Constructor Detail

STosObj

public STosObj(STosClass theClass)
        throws STeaException

Initializes a new TOS object.

The creation of an TOS object is done in two steps. First the object is instantiated. Then it is initialized with a call to the init() method.

Parameters:

theClass - The TOS class of the TOS object represented by this Java object.

Method Detail

init

public void init(SContext context,
                 java.lang.Object[] args)
          throws STeaException

Parameters:

context - The context where the constructor was called.

args - The arguments to the constructor.

Throws:

STeaException - Only thrown by the call to the constructor method.

selfObj

public STosObj selfObj()

Retrieves the TOS object this object is part of.

Returns:

A reference to the TOS object this object is part of.

part

public STosObj part(int level)

Retrieves the part of this TOS object at level level.

Parameters:

level - The index of the part to retrieve.

Returns:

The part of this TOS object at level level.

getTosClass

public STosClass getTosClass()

Retrieves the class object this TOS object is an instance of.

Returns:

The STosClass object this TOS object is an instance of.

exec

public java.lang.Object exec(SObjFunction obj,
                             SContext context,
                             java.lang.Object[] args)
                      throws STeaException

This is the dispatch method. It will call the TOS method of this TOS object. The TOS method is specified by the first argument to the Tea command this object implements. So, args[0] is a reference to this Java object, args[1] is a symbol that references the TOS method to be called, the remaining arguments are passed to the TOS method.

A TOS method is implemented by an STosMethod object.

Specified by:

exec in interface SObjFunction

Parameters:

context - The context inside which this command was invoked.

args - The array of arguments passed to the command.

Returns:

The object returned by the execution of the method.

Throws:

com.pdmfc.tea.runtime.STException - Only thrown by the execution of the method.
