createNode

protected java.lang.Object createNode(java.lang.Object name, java.lang.Object value)

createNode

protected java.lang.Object createNode(java.lang.Object name, java.util.Map attributes)

protected java.lang.Object createNode(java.lang.Object name, java.util.Map attributes, java.lang.Object value)

doInvokeMethod

protected java.lang.Object doInvokeMethod(java.lang.String methodName, java.lang.Object name, java.lang.Object args)

getCurrent

protected java.lang.Object getCurrent()

getName

protected java.lang.Object getName(java.lang.String methodName)

invokeMethod

public java.lang.Object invokeMethod(java.lang.String methodName)

Convenience method when no arguments are required

Parameters:

methodName - the name of the method to invoke

Returns:

the result of the call

invokeMethod

public java.lang.Object invokeMethod(java.lang.String methodName, java.lang.Object args)

nodeCompleted

protected void nodeCompleted(java.lang.Object parent, java.lang.Object node)

A hook to allow nodes to be processed once they have had all of their children applied.

Parameters:

node - the current node being processed

parent - the parent of the node being processed

postNodeCompletion

protected java.lang.Object postNodeCompletion(java.lang.Object parent, java.lang.Object node)

A hook to allow nodes to be processed once they have had all of their children applied and allows the actual node object that represents the Markup element to be changed

Parameters:

node - the current node being processed

parent - the parent of the node being processed

Returns:

the node, possibly new, that represents the markup element

setClosureDelegate

protected void setClosureDelegate(Closure closure, java.lang.Object node)

A strategy method to allow derived builders to use builder-trees and switch in different kinds of builders. This method should call the setDelegate() method on the closure which by default passes in this but if node is-a builder we could pass that in instead (or do something wacky too)

Parameters:

closure - the closure on which to call setDelegate()

node - the node value that we've just created, which could be a builder

setCurrent

protected void setCurrent(java.lang.Object current)

setParent

protected void setParent(java.lang.Object parent, java.lang.Object child)
