Constructor Detail

PrimitiveSchema

public PrimitiveSchema(java.lang.String typeName)
Creates a PrimitiveSchema with a given type-name.
Parameters:
typeName - The name of this PrimitiveSchema.
Method Detail

getBaseSchema

public static ObjectSchema getBaseSchema()
Retrieve the generic base schema for all primitives.
Returns:
the generic base schema for all primitives.

newInstance

public AbsObject newInstance()
                      throws OntologyException
Creates an Abstract descriptor to hold a primitive of the proper type.
Overrides:
newInstance in class TermSchema

validate

public void validate(AbsObject abs,
                     Ontology onto)
              throws OntologyException
Check whether a given abstract descriptor complies with this schema.
Overrides:
validate in class jade.content.schema.ObjectSchemaImpl
Parameters:
abs - The abstract descriptor to be checked
Throws:
OntologyException - If the abstract descriptor does not complies with this schema

descendsFrom

protected boolean descendsFrom(ObjectSchema s)
Return true if - s is the base schema for the XXXSchema class this schema is an instance of (e.g. s is ConceptSchema.getBaseSchema() and this schema is an instance of ConceptSchema) - s is the base schema for a super-class of the XXXSchema class this schema is an instance of (e.g. s is TermSchema.getBaseSchema() and this schema is an instance of ConceptSchema)
Overrides:
