Method Detail

initialize

public void initialize()
                throws org.xwiki.component.phase.InitializationException

Specified by:

initialize in interface org.xwiki.component.phase.Initializable

Throws:

org.xwiki.component.phase.InitializationException

getPriority

public int getPriority()

The priority of execution relative to the other Macros. The lowest values have the highest priorities and execute first. For example a Macro with a priority of 100 will execute before one with a priority of 500.

Specified by:

getPriority in interface Macro<P>

Returns:

the execution priority

See Also:

Macro.getPriority()

setPriority

public void setPriority(int priority)

Parameters:

priority - the macro priority to use (lower means execute before others)

getDescriptor

public MacroDescriptor getDescriptor()

Specified by:

getDescriptor in interface Macro<P>

Returns:

the macro descriptor

See Also:

Macro.getDescriptor()

compareTo

public int compareTo(Macro<?> macro)

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable<Macro<?>>

See Also:

Comparable.compareTo(java.lang.Object)

setDescriptor

protected void setDescriptor(MacroDescriptor descriptor)

Allows macro classes extending other macro classes to override the macro descriptor with their own.

Parameters:

descriptor - the overriding descriptor to set

setDefaultCategory

protected void setDefaultCategory(String defaultCategory)

Allows sub classes to set the default macro category. This method only has an effect if the internal MacroDescriptor is of type AbstractMacroDescriptor.

Parameters:

defaultCategory - the default macro category to be set.
