edu.usc.cse.desi.model.view
Class AbstractConnectionViewModel

java.lang.Object
  edu.usc.cse.desi.model.AbstractDESIModel
      edu.usc.cse.desi.model.view.AbstractViewModel
          edu.usc.cse.desi.model.view.AbstractConnectionViewModel

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.EventListener, org.eclipse.ui.views.properties.IPropertySource, java.beans.PropertyChangeListener, java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

LogicalLinkViewModel, PhysicalLinkViewModel

public abstract class AbstractConnectionViewModel

extends AbstractViewModel

implements org.eclipse.ui.views.properties.IPropertySource

Slowly but surely, this class will encapsulate all the commonalities between PhysicalLinkViewModel and LogicalLinkViewModel. This class is new as of 7/21/04, so at this point it has adopted very little of those classes' common methods.
