Schedule.registerResourceClass Method (Class(?), String, Int32)

Registers a resource class for serialization support.

Namespace: com.mindfusion.scheduling.model
Package: com.mindfusion.scheduling.model

 Syntax

Java

public static void registerResourceClass (
    Class<? extends Resource> resourceClass,
    String classId,
    int classVersion
)

 Parameters

resourceClass

A Class instance identifying the resource class.

classId

A class identifier to use when saving and loading resources

classVersion

A revision number of the resource's class serialization format.

 Remarks

When using custom resource classes, use this method to enable saving and loading the custom resource objects to/from XML files. The class id string is written before each resource's data, and when loading resources later that string indicates to the schedule what class instance to create and let it load the subsequent data. The following class identifiers are reserved and should not be used: 'std:appointment', 'std:resource', 'std:contact', 'std:location' and 'std:task'.

The version identifier must be increased when the format in which resources are saved changes. It is used when loading files to let your application load resources data from an older format.

Note: All custom resource classes must provide a parameterless constructor. Failing to do so would result in exceptions during the load process, since the schedule will be unable to create custom resources.
