Class MockCentralNodeModel

java.lang.Object
  org.mockcentral.editor.nodes.MockCentralNodeModel

Direct Known Subclasses:

ExpectationModel, FixtureModel, MockCentralGroupNodeModel, MockObjectModel

public abstract class MockCentralNodeModel
extends java.lang.Object

Base for classes representing the model in the MVC structure used for editing the data in the JDOM Element instances that comprise the domain model. Each instance of this class is associated with a specific instance of the MockCentralNode class; the loadElementData method gets called to populate the model using the current contents of the node's Element when the node is activated.

Field Summary

protected org.jdom.Element	element The JDOM Element containing the modeled data.
protected MockCentralNode	node The associated MockCentralNode.
