Interface NodeProcessor

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractNodeProcessor, CollectionNodeProcessor, DefaultNodeProcessor, YCollectionNodeProcessor, YNodeProcessor

public interface NodeProcessor

A stateless processor for a single node.

Processes each property of current node and includes all operations which are necessary to move each property value from source node to target node.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
<T> T	process(NodeContext nodeCtx, java.lang.Object source, T target) Processes each property from source node and moves them to target node.

Method Detail

process

<T> T process(NodeContext nodeCtx,
              java.lang.Object source,
              T target)

Processes each property from source node and moves them to target node. Parameter 'target' is either a concrete instance or null which means that a target internally gets created. If a target node must be created, an optional contract can (not must) have an influence on the target node type.

Result is always the target node regardless whether it was already passed or newly created.

Type Parameters:

T -

Parameters:

nodeCtx - NodeContext

source - source node

target - target node (null permitted)

Returns:

target instance
