Member Function Documentation

- (void) handleNotification:

(id<INotification>)

notification

[implementation]

Handle INotifications.

Typically this will be handled in a switch statement, with one 'case' entry per INotification the Mediator is interested in.

Reimplemented from < IMediator >.

- (void) initializeMediator

Initialize the Mediator instance.

Called automatically by the constructor, this is your opportunity to initialize the Mediator instance in your subclass without overriding the constructor.

Returns:

void

- (NSArray *) listNotificationInterests

[implementation]

List the INotification names this Mediator is interested in being notified of.

Returns:

Array the list of INotification names

Reimplemented from < IMediator >.

- (NSString *) mediatorName

Get the IMediator instance name

Returns:

the IMediator instance name

+ (NSString *) NAME

The name of the Mediator.

Typically, a Mediator will be written to serve one specific control or group controls and so, will not have a need to be dynamically named.

- (void) onRegister

[implementation]

Called by the View when the Mediator is registered

Reimplemented from < IMediator >.

- (void) onRemove

[implementation]

Called by the View when the Mediator is removed

Reimplemented from < IMediator >.

- (void) sendNotification:		(NSString *)	notificationName
body:		(id)	body
type:		(NSString *)	type
				[implementation]

Keeps us from having to construct new INotification instances in our implementation code.

Parameters:

	type	the type of the notification

Reimplemented from < INotifier >.

- (void) setViewComponent:
