Constructor Detail

MPropertyContainer

public MPropertyContainer()

Creates an empty property container.

Method Detail

clear

public void clear()

Clears properties.

size

public int size()

Gets the total number of properties.

Returns:

number of properties

getKeys

public String[] getKeys()

Returns the property keys.

Returns:

the array of keys

getKey

public String getKey(int i)

Gets a property key.

Parameters:

i - property index

Returns:

the property name

getString

@Deprecated
public String getString(String key)

Deprecated. As of Marvin 5.7, replaced by MPropHandler.convertToString(MPropertyContainer, String)

Gets a property.

Parameters:

key - property name

Returns:

the value of the property, or null if the key is not found

get

public MProp get(String key)

Gets a property object.

Parameters:

key - property name

Returns:

the value of the property, or null if the key is not found

setString

public void setString(String key,
             String value)

Sets a property. Setting null value removes the property.

Parameters:

key - the property name

value - the value or null

set

public void set(String key,
       MProp value)

Sets a property object. Setting null value removes the property.

Parameters:

key - the property name

value - the value or null

set

public void set(String key,
       MProp value,
       int opts)

Sets a property object. Setting null value removes the property.

Parameters:

key - the property name

value - the value or null

opts - 0 or MProp.COORDDEP

remove

public void remove(MProp p)

Removes a property.

Parameters:

p - the object

Since:

Marvin 4.1.6, 02/21/2007

replace

public void replace(MProp oldp,
           MProp newp)

Replaces or removes a property.

Parameters:

oldp - the old object

newp - the new object or null to remove

Since:

Marvin 4.1.6, 02/14/2007

contains

public boolean contains(MProp p)

Tests whether the container contains the specified property object.

Parameters:

p - the object

Since:

Marvin 4.1.6, 02/21/2007

isValid

public boolean isValid(MProp prop)

Tests whether a coordinate dependent property is still valid.

Parameters:

prop - the property

Returns:

true if the property is valid, false otherwise

See Also:

MProp.COORDDEP, set(String, MProp, int)

isSelfReference

public boolean isSelfReference(MProp p)

Tests whether a property is a self reference to the containing molecule.

Parameters:

p - the property

Returns:

true if the property is a self reference, false otherwise

Since:

Marvin 5.0, 11/05/2007

isHierarchic

public boolean isHierarchic()

Tests whether the property list contains subcollections like MListProp and MHashProp. A property list containing names in MDL RDfile style can be made hierarchic by calling hierarchize().

Returns:

true if the property list contains subcollections, false otherwise

Since:

Marvin 4.1.6, 02/15/2007

hierarchize

public String hierarchize()

Converts hierarchically specified RDF properties to MListProp and MHashProp objects.

Returns:

the most likely "root" name (the name of the first MHashProp type property) or null

Since:

Marvin 4.1.6, 02/14/2007

flatten(), isHierarchic()

flatten

public void flatten()

Flattens hierarchically specified RDF properties. The inverse operation of hierarchize().

Since:

Marvin 4.1.6, 02/14/2007

isHierarchic()

getPropList

public List<MProp> getPropList()

Gets the list of basic properties. Properties containers like MListProp and MHashProp are not added to the list but searched recursively for their basic elements.

Returns:

the list of MProp objects

Since:

Marvin 4.1.6, 02/15/2007

getObject

public Object getObject(String key)

Gets a property object.

Parameters:

key - property name

Returns:

the value of the property, or null if the key is not found

setObject

public void setObject(String key,
             Object val)

Sets a property object. Setting null value removes the property.

Parameters:

key - the property name

val - the value or null

clone

public Object clone()

Clones this object.

Overrides:

clone in class Object

readExternal

Restores the property container's state.

Specified by:

readExternal in interface Externalizable

Parameters:

in - the stream to read data from in order to restore the object

Throws:

IOException - if I/O errors occur

ClassNotFoundException - If the class for an object being restored cannot be found.

writeExternal

public void writeExternal(ObjectOutput out)
                   throws IOException

Saves the property container's state.

Specified by:

writeExternal in interface Externalizable

Parameters:

out - the stream to write the object to

Throws:

IOException - Includes any I/O exceptions that may occur
