RE: [ve-dev] which code is parsed and executed on the VM

[Rich Kulp <richkulp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
No it won't be called. We only understand
method calls that are property settings or calls to other initialization
methods in very specific patterns. If it is a property setting, we will
call all of the methods referenced in the set method. If it is an initialization
method (i.e. it does a XYX x = new XYX() in the method), then it will be
called if:

a) It is part of a property setting
call
b) It is part of a awt/swing add() method
c) It is a call to a SWT Composite (or
Composite subclass) initialization method.
d) Or the codegen parser has specific
code to recognize it as a method that should be evaluated and parsed.

Hi Rich,

Thanks. A follow-up question:

>>> RLK >>>
Basically only property settings and initialization statements are executed.
If it is not a property or an initialization statement (i.e. XYX x = ...)
then the _expression_ is ignored.

If a method doesn't have a initialization statement in it, then it is
ignored.

There are other subtle things but that is basically it.

Consider the following class:

class MyClass extends MyBean {

                
private Context context;
                
private AClass aclass;

                
public void MyClass() {
                  
               
    super();
                  
               
    initialize();
                
}

                
private void initailize() {
                  
               
    this.setBackgroundColor(Color.blue); // a method
affecting visual
attribute
                  
               
    setForegroundColor(Color.red); // will this be executed?
                  
               
    myMethod(); // will this be executed
                
}

                
private void myMethod() {
                
                 context
= XXX.getContext();
                
                 this.aclass
= context.getBean();
                
}

}

Will myMethod be executed on the VM since it has an initilization
"this.aclass = ..."?


Thanks and regards,

Janak
