      • allowMultipleAdditions

        public boolean allowMultipleAdditions​(@Nonnull
                                              java.lang.String systemName)
        Description copied from interface: NameIncrementingManager
        Determines if it is possible to add a range of NamedBeans in numerical order for a particular system implementation.

        Default is not providing this service. Systems should override this method if they do provide the service.

        Parameters:
        systemName - the system name to check against; appears to be ignored in all implementations
        Returns:
        true if possible; false otherwise

        userName - the user name to use for this light
        Returns:
        the new light or null if unsuccessful
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - something failed in the names

                                                        java.lang.String userName)
        Create light of a specific type for the interface
        Parameters:
        systemName - name encoding device
        userName - user name
        Returns:
        light object
      • validateSystemNameFormat

        @Nonnull
        public java.lang.String validateSystemNameFormat​(@Nonnull
                                                         java.lang.String name,
                                                         @Nonnull
                                                         java.util.Locale locale)
        Validate the format of name, returning it unchanged if valid.

        Although further restrictions may be added by system-specific implementations, at a minimum, the implementation must consider a name that does not start with the System Name prefix for this manager to be invalid, and must consider a name that is the same as the System Name prefix to be invalid.

        Overriding implementations may rely on Manager.validSystemNameFormat(java.lang.String), however they must provide an actionable message in the thrown exception if that method does not return Manager.NameValidity.VALID. When overriding implementations of this method rely on validSystemNameFormat(), implementations of that method must not throw an exception, log an error, or otherwise disrupt the user.

        Parameters:
        name - the system name to validate
        locale - the locale for a localized exception; this is needed for the JMRI web server, which supports multiple locales
        Returns:
        the unchanged value of the name parameter
      • validSystemNameConfig

        public boolean validSystemNameConfig​(@Nonnull
                                             java.lang.String systemName)
        Public method to validate system name for configuration
        Parameters:
        systemName - the system name
        Returns:
        'true' if system name has a valid format, else return 'false'
