Interface supergeneValidator

All Known Implementing Classes:

abstractSupergene, Validator

public interface supergeneValidator

A class, deciding, if the supergene allele combination is valid. Some classes Supergenes (like abstractSupergene) also implement supergeneValidator, deciding themselfs about the gene validity. In request to returs a validator, they return this. Other classes may require always to set the external validator.

Method Detail

isValid

public boolean isValid(Gene[] a_genes,
                       Supergene a_for_supergene)

Return true if this gene combination is valid for the given supergene

getPersistent

public java.lang.String getPersistent()

Get a persistent string representation (if needed) of this validator. The name is different allowing the same class to implement both Supergene and supergeneValidator.

setFromPersistent

public void setFromPersistent(java.lang.String a_string)

Set a persistend string representation (if needed) for this validator. The name is different allowing the same class to implement both Supergene and supergeneValidator.
