Method Detail

getInheritFromParent

public int getInheritFromParent()

Returns an integer which describes how variable values are inherited from its parent.

• 0 ... All values
• 1 ... Defined values only
• 2 ... None

Returns:

Inherit mode

valueKeyIterator

public Iterator<String> valueKeyIterator()

Returns an iterator over validity keywords. All validity keywords have the type java.lang.String

Returns:

Iterator

parentValueKeyIterator

public Iterator<String> parentValueKeyIterator()

Returns an iterator over parent validity keywords. All parent validity keywords have the type java.lang.String

Returns:

Iterator

replaceValue

public boolean replaceValue(String kw,
                            String value)

Replaces an existing value.

Parameters:

kw - Key

value - Value

Returns:

Number of PromptSet entries

promptSetIterator

public Iterator<PromptSetDefinition> promptSetIterator()

Returns an iterator over PromptSetDefinition.

Returns:

Iterator
