Interface OverrideableCommand

Command

All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface OverrideableCommand
extends Command

This represents a command that can be overridden by another command. The intended use of this is that an overrideable command should call EditingDomain.createOverrideCommand in its constructor to set up the override command. All its Command methods should then be guarded as follows:

   public void execute()
   {
     if (getOverride() != null)
     {
       getOverride().execute();
     }
     else
     {
       doExecute();
     }
   }
 

The contract with the overriding command is that the overrideable command will implement all its methods in corresponding doXxx methods, e.g., execute() is implemented in doExecute(), so that the overriding command can call back to the overrideable command's doXxx methods if it wants to extend rather than replace the original implementation. AbstractOverrideableCommand provides a convenient base implementation for overrideable commands.
