Class TreePath

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable

    public class TreePath
    extends Object
    implements Serializable
    TreePath represents an array of objects that uniquely identify the path to a node in a tree. The elements of the array are ordered with the root as the first element of the array. For example, a file on the file system is uniquely identified based on the array of parent directories and the name of the file. The path /tmp/foo/bar could be represented by a TreePath as new TreePath(new Object[] {"tmp", "foo", "bar"}).

    TreePath is used extensively by JTree and related classes. For example, JTree represents the selection as an array of TreePaths. When used with JTree, the elements of the path are the objects returned from the TreeModel. When JTree is paired with DefaultTreeModel, the elements of the path are TreeNodes. The following example illustrates extracting the user object from the selection of a JTree:

       DefaultMutableTreeNode root = ...;
       DefaultTreeModel model = new DefaultTreeModel(root);
       JTree tree = new JTree(model);
       ...
       TreePath selectedPath = tree.getSelectionPath();
       DefaultMutableTreeNode selectedNode =
           ((DefaultMutableTreeNode)selectedPath.getLastPathComponent()).
           getUserObject();
     
    Subclasses typically need override only getLastPathComponent, and getParentPath. As JTree internally creates TreePaths at various points, it's generally not useful to subclass TreePath and use with JTree.

    While TreePath is serializable, a NotSerializableException is thrown if any elements of the path are not serializable.

    For further information and examples of using tree paths, see How to Use Trees in The Java Tutorial.

    Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeansTM has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

    • Constructor Detail

      • TreePath

        @ConstructorProperties(value="path")
        public TreePath(Object[] path)
        Creates a TreePath from an array. The array uniquely identifies the path to a node.
        Parameters:
        path - an array of objects representing the path to a node
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if path is null, empty, or contains a null value
      • TreePath

        public TreePath(Object lastPathComponent)
        Creates a TreePath containing a single element. This is used to construct a TreePath identifying the root.
        Parameters:
        lastPathComponent - the root
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if lastPathComponent is null
        See Also:
        TreePath(Object[])
      • TreePath

        protected TreePath(TreePath parent,
                Object lastPathComponent)
        Creates a TreePath with the specified parent and element.
        Parameters:
        parent - the path to the parent, or null to indicate the root
        lastPathComponent - the last path element
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if lastPathComponent is null
      • TreePath

        protected TreePath(Object[] path,
                int length)
        Creates a TreePath from an array. The returned TreePath represents the elements of the array from 0 to length - 1.

        This constructor is used internally, and generally not useful outside of subclasses.

        Parameters:
        path - the array to create the TreePath from
        length - identifies the number of elements in path to create the TreePath from
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if path is null
        ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if length - 1 is outside the range of the array
        IllegalArgumentException - if any of the elements from 0 to length - 1 are null
      • TreePath

        protected TreePath()
        Creates an empty TreePath. This is provided for subclasses that represent paths in a different manner. Subclasses that use this constructor must override getLastPathComponent, and getParentPath.
    • Method Detail

      • getPath

        public Object[] getPath()
        Returns an ordered array of the elements of this TreePath. The first element is the root.
        Returns:
        an array of the elements in this TreePath
      • getLastPathComponent

        public Object getLastPathComponent()
        Returns the last element of this path.
        Returns:
        the last element in the path
      • getPathCount

        public int getPathCount()
        Returns the number of elements in the path.
        Returns:
        the number of elements in the path
      • getPathComponent

        public Object getPathComponent(int index)
        Returns the path element at the specified index.
        Parameters:
        index - the index of the element requested
        Returns:
        the element at the specified index
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if the index is outside the range of this path
      • equals

        public boolean equals(Object o)
        Compares this TreePath to the specified object. This returns true if o is a TreePath with the exact same elements (as determined by using equals on each element of the path).
        Overrides:
        equals in class Object
        Parameters:
        o - the object to compare
        Returns:
        true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.
        See Also:
        Object.hashCode(), HashMap
      • isDescendant

        public boolean isDescendant(TreePath aTreePath)
        Returns true if aTreePath is a descendant of this TreePath. A TreePath P1 is a descendant of a TreePath P2 if P1 contains all of the elements that make up P2's path. For example, if this object has the path [a, b], and aTreePath has the path [a, b, c], then aTreePath is a descendant of this object. However, if aTreePath has the path [a], then it is not a descendant of this object. By this definition a TreePath is always considered a descendant of itself. That is, aTreePath.isDescendant(aTreePath) returns true.
        Parameters:
        aTreePath - the TreePath to check
        Returns:
        true if aTreePath is a descendant of this path
      • pathByAddingChild

        public TreePath pathByAddingChild(Object child)
        Returns a new path containing all the elements of this path plus child. child is the last element of the newly created TreePath.
        Parameters:
        child - the path element to add
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if child is null
      • getParentPath

        public TreePath getParentPath()
        Returns the TreePath of the parent. A return value of null indicates this is the root node.
        Returns:
        the parent path
      • toString

        public String toString()
        Returns a string that displays and identifies this object's properties.
        Overrides:
        toString in class Object
        Returns:
        a String representation of this object
