Method Detail

getDockStation

S getDockStation()

Gets this as S.

Returns:

this

asDockStation

C asDockStation()

Returns this as station of type C. This method is not allowed to return null.

Specified by:

asDockStation in interface CommonElement

Specified by:

asDockStation in interface DockElement

Returns:

this

getStation

CStation<C> getStation()

Gets the model of this station.

Returns:

the model, may not be null

getFactoryID

String getFactoryID()

Gets the unique identifier of the DockFactory that stores and loads the layout of this station. For CommonDockStations the result should always be CommonDockStationFactory.FACTORY_ID

Specified by:

getFactoryID in interface DockElement

Returns:

the id of the factory

See Also:

getConverterID()

getConverterID

String getConverterID()

Gets the unique identifier of the DockFactory that should be used by the CommonDockStationFactory to actually write or read the layout. Usually the result of this method is the same result as DockElement.getFactoryID() (note: the factory id from the super class).

Returns:

the unique identifier of a DockFactory. Can be null if getFactoryID() does not return CommonDockStationFactory.FACTORY_ID
