Method Detail

dispose

public void dispose()

This object listens to all sub-object's, so make sure to call this if this object has a more limited scope.

add

public void add(IDataObject object)

Add a sub object to the set. Properties of the sub object will appear in the super set at this point, except for proeperties that are already defined.

Parameters:

object - The object to add. May be added more than once (with no effect on subsequent adds).

remove

public void remove(IDataObject object)

Remove an object from the superset. All properties of the sub object disappear from the superset at this point, except for any overlapping properties in other sub objects that may have been hidden by this one. NOTE: this may be significantly slower than add ()

add

protected void add(Object property,
                   Object value)

remove

protected void remove(Object property,
                      Object value)
