Interface SupergeneValidator

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractSupergene, NickelsPenniesSupergene, 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.

Since:

2.0

Field Summary

static java.lang.String

CVS_REVISION String containing the CVS revision.

Method Summary

java.lang.String	getPersistent()
boolean	isValid(Gene[] a_genes, Supergene a_for_supergene) Return true if this gene combination is valid for the given supergene
void	setFromPersistent(java.lang.String a_string) Set a persistend string representation (if needed) for this validator.

Field Detail

CVS_REVISION

static final java.lang.String CVS_REVISION

String containing the CVS revision. Read out via reflection!

Method Detail

isValid

boolean isValid(Gene[] a_genes,
                Supergene a_for_supergene)

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

getPersistent

java.lang.String getPersistent()

Returns:

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

setFromPersistent

void setFromPersistent(java.lang.String a_string)

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