Class Message

  backend.domainObjects.Message

public class Message
extends java.lang.Object

This class corresponds to the <message> tag in XML code. It contains a few fields pertaining to a message: the parent of the message, the message's ID, the poster, subject, and body of the mesage, as well as the ID of the board the message is on. It has no child-objects in this huge has-a tree... NOTE: If an ID is -1, then there was no ID written down for that message. That's not right!

Method Detail

fromXML

public void fromXML(org.kxml2.io.KXmlParser theParser)

This method, like most other fromXML methods in the domainObjects package, assumes that the KXmlParser you give it has just found a <message> tag. It keeps asking the parser for elements of the XML, hoping to find tags corresponding to the fields of this class. If it finds the tags, it will set its fields to what the KXmlParser returns for its nextText() method. If, however, the nextText method returns an empty string, the fields are set to "-1", signifying that there is nothing entered for this particular field. As that should never happen, seeing "-1" should let us know that there is a mondo problem with the XML.
