-- File: Nut.mesa -- Implemented by: NutImpl and NutDefaultImpl in Squirrel package -- Contents: An interface to allow Cypress application programs for different database -- entity types to call each other without knowing about each other beforehand. Each -- application implements one or more "nut" types; nuts are viewers on Cypress entities. -- Created by: Rick Cattell on 11-Dec-81 12:29:29 -- Last edited by: -- Rick Cattell on July 22, 1983 2:31 pm -- Willie-Sue on January 21, 1983 8:48 am -- Jim Donahue on June 16, 1983 2:42 pm DIRECTORY DB, Rope, ViewerClasses; Nut: CEDAR DEFINITIONS = BEGIN OPEN DB; ROPE: TYPE = Rope.ROPE; Viewer: TYPE = ViewerClasses.Viewer; -- Interaction between nuts: these are implemented in NutImpl.mesa -- Each nut implementation registers itself as knowing how to display, edit, query, etc. some -- set of domains (a domain is a type of entity, see DB), with the Register proc. Any -- application (or the user through Squirrel) can then call one of the following procs to -- invoke whoever has registered himself for an entity type (or the default implementations -- provided by Squirrel if no one is registered). Register: PROC[ domain: ROPE, segment: DB.Segment, display: DisplayProc_ NIL, -- proc to make displayer for entity in domain edit: EditProc_ NIL, -- proc to make editor for new or old entity in domain query: QueryProc_ NIL, -- proc to make queryer on domain create: CreateProc_ NIL, -- proc to create viewer for above (defaults to container) update: UpdateProc_ NIL, -- proc to call when relation referencing this domain is updated transaction: TransactionProc_ NIL -- proc to call when the transaction for the segment is -- opened, closed, or aborted by the SquirrelTool (which can have hands into most anything) ]; -- Registers a display, create, query, create, update, and/or transaction proc for given domain. -- These will supersede any previous registrations for this domain except where new procs NIL.

If a nut implementation has -- registered itself for e's type, that implementation will be called, else the -- default Squirrel implementation will be used. If method=replace, replaces parent with the -- new viewer. IF method#replace AND parent#NIL, use the last viewer spawned -- from parent. If there isn't one and method=oneOnly, look to see if there is already a viewer -- for this entity. The seg argument is only necessary for system entities, which have -- no implicit segment. Edit: PROC[ d: DB.Domain, eName: ROPE, seg: DB.Segment _ NIL, parent: Viewer_ NIL, method: Method _ spawned ] RETURNS[ v: Viewer ]; -- Creates a nut for editing the entity with name eName in domain d. -- If method=replace, replaces parent with the new viewer. -- IF method#replace AND parent#NIL, use the last viewer spawned from parent. -- If there isn't one and method=oneOnly, see if there is already a viewer for this entity. -- As with displayer, either a registered implementation or the default editor -- will be invoked. The user will be prompted for any other info that an entity from e's -- domain can have. Query: PROC[d: DB.Domain, seg: DB.Segment _ NIL] RETURNS[ v: Viewer ]; -- Creates a queryer viewer on domain d. No default yet implemented. Method: TYPE = {replace, oneOnly, spawned}; -- method used to determine new viewer DisplayProc: TYPE = PROC[e: DB.Entity, newV: Viewer, seg: DB.Segment _ NIL]; -- Should set up an application's newV to display entity e and its fields.

QueryProc: TYPE = PROC[d: DB.Domain, newV: Viewer, segment: DB.Segment _ NIL]; -- Should set up a queryer on domain d.

Everyone who has -- registered an update proc will be notified of the change, to allow them to update -- their viewer or whatever.

TransactionProc: TYPE = PROC[segment: DB.Segment, fileName: ROPE, type: TransactionType]; -- A notification that a transaction has been opened, closed, or aborted. -- The client procedure is called after an open or close occurs. In the case of a transaction -- abort, the client procedure is called after the abort AND re-open of transaction, so client -- can simply re-display windows. We will probably need a more complex notification in -- the future, but this is better than nothing till we understand what we want.

Change Log: Edited by Rick on March 18, 1982 11:50 am: Major reorganization. Register now allows registration of all or some of the three procedures, and replaces any previous registration for that domain with the new one. Edit take init REF ANY. DisplayProc, EditProc, QueryProc take new viewer on calls out from Nut, old viewer on calls into Nut. Added close and open notify procs. Edited by Rick on March 25, 1982 4:29 pm: Added user interaction procs section, dump and load stuff. WSH on April 1, 1982: added MessageConfirm Rick on April 3, 1982 4:29 pm: added width option to button. Added CreateProc feature. Willie-Sue on July 8, 1982: changed EnumerateNutList, created NutPrivate.mesa, NutListImpl.mesa Willie-Sue on July 27, 1982: changed EnumerateNutList to return LIST OF NutRec. Cattell on August 5, 1982 7:11 pm: added init parm to Display, Create procs. Added GetDBTransaction proc. Maxwell on September 8, 1982 9:29 am: moved procedures to Palm and SquirrelOps Cattell on April 12, 1983 1:16 pm: fixed up some outdated comments. Ę‹˜JšŽĪc‘œ•œĪk œžœžœž œžœžœžœžœžœžœ žœDœ_œXœ[œ]œ3œĪnœžœ žœ žœ"žœ/œžœ7œžœ"œžœ;œžœAœ žœ™œœ/œ Īe œ_œŸ œžœ žœžœ)œŸœžœžœžœ žœžœžœ@œPœ_œNœbœrœŸœžœžœžœžœ žœžœžœEœ;œNœ\œOœZœœŸœžœžœžœ žœžœFœĪbœžœ 'œŸ œžœžœžœžœ žœKœŸœžœžœžœžœžœ žœ8œŸ œžœžœžœ žœ žœOœEœŸ œžœžœ&žœžœ žœ+žœXœNœŸœžœ,ZœUœœ žœ"žœ$Ÿ œžœžœ,NœŸœžœ žœ#äœŸœžœžœ žœžœ¸œžœĻœžœAœ"6œFœDœœOœžœúžœžœôžœŖžœžœ‹˜Õ;—…—Ø i
