Package me.datafox.dfxengine.dependencies

Class AbstractDependency

java.lang.Object
me.datafox.dfxengine.dependencies.AbstractDependency
All Implemented Interfaces:
Dependency
Direct Known Subclasses:
DependencyDependent
public abstract class AbstractDependency extends Object implements Dependency

A class with values that values of other classes depend on. A class with values depending on the implementing class should implement Dependent, and all dependencies should be added to the class implementing this interface with addDependent(Dependent) or addDependents(Collection). The implementation of these methods must check for cyclic dependencies and throw IllegalArgumentException if one would be caused by the operation.

The cyclic dependency detection in this class will only detect dependent dependencies that implement both Dependency and Dependent. It is recommended to extend DependencyDependent where possible for all cases where both interfaces would be implemented.
