Type Parameters:

H - the generic type

All Known Subinterfaces:

ComponentHandleComposite<H,REF>

public interface ProgressHandle<H>

Whenever a handle is associated with a progress, then a component providing such handles should implement this interface.

The handle reference requires the ProgressAccessor interface to be implemented.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
float	getProgress(H aHandle)	The progress of a handle can be queried by this method.
boolean	hasProgress(H aHandle)	Determines whether the handle reference provides a progress by implementing the ProgressAccessor interface.

Method Details

hasProgress

boolean hasProgress(H aHandle)

Determines whether the handle reference provides a progress by implementing the ProgressAccessor interface.

Parameters:

aHandle - The handle to test whether the reference provides the according functionality.

Returns:

True in case the reference provides the according functionality.

Throws:

UnknownHandleRuntimeException - Thrown in case the handle is unknown (there is none reference for this handle).

getProgress

float getProgress(H aHandle)

The progress of a handle can be queried by this method. A value of zero ("0") indicates that there was no progress so far, a value of one ("1") indicates that the progress is 100%. The handle association requires the ProgressAccessor interface to be implemented.

Parameters:

aHandle - The handle for which to determine the current progress.

Returns:

A value between zero ("0") and one ("1") determining the progress related to the given handle.

Throws:

UnsupportedHandleOperationRuntimeException - in case the reference of the handle does not support the requested operation.

UnknownHandleRuntimeException - Thrown in case the handle is unknown (there is none reference for this handle).
