boolean	exists(java.lang.String s)

TypeDict

public TypeDict()

Constructs an empty TypeDict.

Method Detail

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Tells whether or not the dictionary is empty.

elements

public java.util.Enumeration elements()

Returns an Enumeration of the StreamerSupport objects in the dictionary. The objects are not enumerated in any specific order, and the enumeration order may change when more associations are added.

add

public void add(java.lang.String t,
                StreamerSupport s)

Adds an association between a tag and a StreamerSupport object.

exists

public boolean exists(java.lang.String s)

find

public StreamerSupport find(java.lang.String s)

Locates the StreamerSupport object associated with a given tag. Returns null if no object is found for the tag.

initialize

public boolean initialize(java.lang.String classes)

Processes Initializer classes for this TypeDict. The argument is a string of class names separated by a ":" character. This method looks up each named class, constructs an instance using the default constructor, and invokes the Initializer#initialize(TypeDict) method on it.
