Class ArrayAssociation

java.lang.Object
  org.sandev.basics.util.ArrayAssociation

public class ArrayAssociation
extends java.lang.Object

A standard associative list represented by two equal length arrays. The seminal use is for selection value translation purposes in a UI display, so the primary representation is two String arrays. The keyValues array holds the actual values and the transValues array holds the translated values.

This class may be extended in the future to include other basic array types.

Field Summary

protected int	defaultValueIndex The index of the default value.
protected java.lang.String[]	keyValues The key values
protected java.lang.String[]	transValues The translated values

Constructor Summary

ArrayAssociation()

ArrayAssociation(java.lang.String[] keyVals, java.lang.String[] transVals)

Method Summary

static java.lang.String	debugDump(ArrayAssociation aa, java.lang.String prefix) Return a debug string containing all the array elements and what their values are.
int	getDefaultValueIndex() accessor for defaultValueIndex
java.lang.String[]	getKeyValues() accessor for keyValues
java.lang.String[]	getTransValues() accessor for transValues
java.lang.String	keyToTrans(java.lang.String keyVal) Given a value from keyValues, return the associated value from transValues.
void	setDefaultValueIndex(int i) mutator for defaultValueIndex
void	setKeyValues(java.lang.String[] vals) mutator for keyValues
void	setTransValues(java.lang.String[] vals) mutator for keyValues
java.lang.String	transToKey(java.lang.String transVal) Given a value from transValues, return the associated value from keyValues.
