Class GuiHubConnector

  • Direct Known Subclasses:
    MessageTrackerHubConnector

    public class GuiHubConnector
    extends HubConnector
    Extends HubConnector to provide additional graphical functionality. In particular Swing Actions are provided for hub connection/disconnection and the client list is made available as a ListModel. See the superclass documentation for details of how to use this class. A number of utility methods build on these features to provide Swing components and Actions which can be used directly to populate application menus etc.

      • connectionChanged

        protected void connectionChanged​(boolean isConnected)
        Description copied from class: HubConnector
        Method which is called every time this connector changes its connection status (from disconnected to connected, or vice versa). The default implementation does nothing, but it may be overridden by subclasses wishing to be informed of these events.
        Overrides:
        connectionChanged in class HubConnector
        Parameters:
        isConnected - true if we've just registered; false if we've just unregistered
      • addConnectionListener

        public void addConnectionListener​(javax.swing.event.ChangeListener listener)
        Adds a listener which will be notified when this connector registers or unregisters with a hub.
        Parameters:
        listener - listener to add
      • removeConnectionListener

        public void removeConnectionListener​(javax.swing.event.ChangeListener listener)
        Removes a listener previously added by addConnectionListener.
        Parameters:
        listener - listener to remove
      • getClientListModel

        public javax.swing.ListModel getClientListModel()
        Returns a ListModel containing the registered clients. Listeners to this model are correctly notified whenever any change in its contents takes place.
        Returns:
        list model containing Client objects
      • createClientListCellRenderer

        public javax.swing.ListCellRenderer createClientListCellRenderer()
        Returns a list cell renderer suitable for use with the client list model returned by getClientListModel().
        Returns:
        list cell renderer for Client objects
      • createRegisterAction

        public javax.swing.Action createRegisterAction()
        Returns an action which attempts to register with the hub. Disabled when already registered.
        Returns:
        registration action
      • createUnregisterAction

        public javax.swing.Action createUnregisterAction()
        Returns an action which attempts to unregister from the hub. Disabled when already unregistered.
        Returns:
        unregistration action
      • createToggleRegisterAction

        public javax.swing.Action createToggleRegisterAction()
        Returns an action which toggles hub registration.
        Returns:
        registration toggler action
      • createRegisterOrHubAction

        public javax.swing.Action createRegisterOrHubAction​(java.awt.Component parent,

        Returns a new action which will register with a hub if one is running, and if not, will offer to start a hub. The exact options for starting a hub are given by the hubStartActions parameter - the elements of this array will normally be generated by calling the createHubAction method.
        Parameters:
        parent - parent component, used for placing dialogue
        hubStartActions - actions which start a hub, or null for a default list
      • createShowMonitorAction
