    • parseElement

      public NodeParser parseElement(com.inet.report.parser.XMLTag group, String tag, Attributes atts, Map<String,Object> parserMap) throws FatalParserException
      FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY Internal method for reading report XML

      Parses an XML node with the given information, and returns either a sub-element which was created as a result, or null if no sub-element was created, i.e. the information was applied to the ReportComponent itself. Note that the parsing is highly tolerant, i.e. exceptions are intercepted and suppressed if at all possible.

      Specified by:
      parseElement in interface NodeParser
      Overrides:
      parseElement in class Field
      Parameters:
      group - XMLTag of the current node to be parsed, or null if there is no such current group. An XMLTag is a group of nodes bundled together, usually it is a Properties node such as CommonProperties, BorderProperties, etc.
      tag - The XMLTag to be parsed
      atts - The set of attributes in the current XMLTag
      parserMap - The map of current Parser.
      Returns:
      The NodeParser sub-element if one needed to be created, or null if none was created.
      Throws:
      FatalParserException - if an exception occurs which causes the report to not be able to be read: causes the abortion of the reading of the report.
    • parseText

      public void parseText(String text, Map<String,Object> parserMap)
      FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY Internal method for reading report XML

      This method is called if text was encountered in the context of this node. (Examples would be a formula's text or a text element's text)

      Overrides:
      parseText in class Field
      Parameters:
      text - text encountered and to be stored
      parserMap - The map of current Parser.
    • duplicate

      public Field duplicate(String copyName)
      Duplicates this field with all its settings and returns the created Field with the given name. Note that the new formula field will not initially be referenced by any other report objects. If you duplicate a property formula, you will have to set the new formula as a separate property formula.
      Overrides:
      duplicate in class Field
      Parameters:
      copyName - the name the created field should have.
      Returns:
