Class ProtocolBuilder

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    org.opendaylight.yangtools.concepts.Builder<Protocol>, org.opendaylight.yangtools.concepts.CheckedBuilder<Protocol,​IllegalArgumentException>, org.opendaylight.yangtools.concepts.Mutable, org.opendaylight.yangtools.concepts.MutationBehaviour<org.opendaylight.yangtools.concepts.Mutable>

    public class ProtocolBuilder
    extends Object
    implements org.opendaylight.yangtools.concepts.Builder<Protocol>
    Class that builds ProtocolBuilder instances. Overall design of the class is that of a fluent interface, where method chaining is used.

    In general, this class is supposed to be used like this template:

       
         ProtocolBuilder createTarget(int fooXyzzy, int barBaz) {
             return new ProtocolBuilderBuilder()
                 .setFoo(new FooBuilder().setXyzzy(fooXyzzy).build())
                 .setBar(new BarBuilder().setBaz(barBaz).build())
                 .build();
         }
       
     

    This pattern is supported by the immutable nature of ProtocolBuilder, as instances can be freely passed around without worrying about synchronization issues.

    As a side note: method chaining results in:

    • very efficient Java bytecode, as the method invocation result, in this case the Builder reference, is on the stack, so further method invocations just need to fill method arguments for the next method invocation, which is terminated by build(), which is then returned from the method
    • better understanding by humans, as the scope of mutable state (the builder) is kept to a minimum and is very localized
    • better optimization oportunities, as the object scope is minimized in terms of invocation (rather than method) stack, making escape analysis a lot easier. Given enough compiler (JIT/AOT) prowess, the cost of th builder object can be completely eliminated

        Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
        Add or remove an augmentation to this builder's product.
        Parameters:
        augmentationType - augmentation type to be added or removed
        augmentationValue - augmentation value, null if the augmentation type should be removed
        Returns:

        public ProtocolBuilder removeAugmentation​(Class<? extends org.opendaylight.yangtools.yang.binding.Augmentation<Protocol>> augmentationType)
        Remove an augmentation from this builder's product. If this builder does not track such an augmentation type, this method does nothing.
        Parameters:
        augmentationType - augmentation type to be removed
        Returns:
        this builder
