public class Laws

extends java.util.Vector

This class maintains a list of Law objects. It is a subclass of Vector, and as such it implements the List interface. In addition to the normal Vector element accessor methods, Law objects are referable by a String name, using the getLaw(String) method - this is only used when initialising the LawPropertyRecords of Entity objects. The Law objects to be stored are constructed and added to the Laws object by the Physics() constructor, using a BlockReader.

Constructor Summary

Laws(BlockReader br, Physics phys)
Constructs the Laws object from the supplied BlockReader.

Method Summary

void	dispose() Disposes of resources by calling dispose() on each of the Laws stored in the List.

Constructor Detail

Laws

public Laws(BlockReader br,
            Physics phys)
     throws BRLoadingException

Constructs the Laws object from the supplied BlockReader. This should be the laws{...} block from the main BlockReader. This constructor will only be called by the Physics(BlockReader) constructor.

Parameters:

br - BlockReader used to read in the Law objects

phys - Physics object passed on to Law() constructors

Throws:

BRLoadingException - if invalid data is read from the BlockReader

Method Detail

getLaw

public Law getLaw(java.lang.String lawname)
           throws LawNotFoundException

Return a Law identified by the a string, or throw a LawNotFoundException if this Law does not exist.

Parameters:

lawname - search for a Law whose getName() returns lawname

Throws:

LawNotFoundException - if the Law is not found

dispose

public void dispose()

Disposes of resources by calling dispose() on each of the Laws stored in the List.
