The changes are done according to the model declaration. This declaration will specify one (or several) leaf in the configuration tree that will trigger the actual property change of the warped node. This leaf is also refered as I. When the warp master(s) value(s) changes, WarpedNode will create an instance of the new class required by the warp master. If the morph parameter is set, the values held by the old object are (if possible) copied to the new instance of the object using L method. Warped node can alter the following properties: config_class_name permission level =head1 Constructor WarpedNode should not be created directly. =head1 Warped node model declaration =head2 Parameter overview A warped node must be declared with the following parameters: =over =item type Always set to C. =item follow L leading to the C warp master. See L for details. =item morph boolean. If 1, WarpedNode will try to recursively copy the value from the old object to the new object using L. When a copy is not possible, undef values will be assigned to object elements. =item rules Hash or array ref that specify the property change rules according to the warp master(s) value(s). See L for details on how to specify the warp master values (or combination of values). =back =head2 Effect declaration For a warped node, the effects are declared with these parameters: =over 8 =item B When requested by the warp master,the WarpedNode will create a new object of the type specified by this parameter: XZ => { config_class_name => 'SlaveZ' } If you pass an array ref, the array will contain the class name and constructor arguments : XY => { config_class_name => ['SlaveY', foo => 'bar' ], }, =item B Switch the permission of the slot when the object is warped in. =back =cut # don't authorize to warp 'morph' parameter as it may lead to # difficult maintenance # status is not warpable either as an obsolete parameter must stay # obsolete my @allowed_warp_params = qw/config_class_name permission level/ ; sub new { my $type = shift; my $self={} ; my %args = @_ ; bless $self,$type; my @mandatory_parameters = qw/element_name instance/; foreach my $p (@mandatory_parameters) { $self->{$p} = delete $args{$p} or croak "WarpedNode->new: Missing $p parameter" ; } $self->_set_parent(delete $args{parent}) ; # optional parameter that makes sense only if warped node is held # by a hash or an array $self->{index_value} = delete $args{index_value} ; $self->{id_owner} = delete $args{id_owner} ; $self->{backup} = \%args ; # WarpedNode will register this object in a Value object (the # warper).

Trying to access bar will raise an exception. =item * When C is changed from C to C, C will refer to a brand new ClassX object constructed with C<< ClassX->new(foo => 'bar') >> =item * Then, if C is changed from C to C, C will refer to a brand new ClassY object. But in this case, the object will be initialized with most if not all the attributes of ClassX. This copy will be done whenever C is changed. =back =head1 AUTHOR Dominique Dumont, (ddumont at cpan dot org) =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L, L, L, L, L, L =cut
