add getEnclosingObject() to the serializer to support PIVOT-514
---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: PIVOT-527
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-527
Project: Pivot
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: wtk
Reporter: Appddevvv
Priority: Minor
When using new capability in PIVOT-514, sometimes you need to get the enclosing
object. While this could be added to the createInstance method, you can also
add it as a protected method. The code is below:
/**
* Return the enclosing object which is this element's parent's value.
* @return
*/
protected Object getEnclosingObject() {
return element.parent.value;
}
This allows extensions of the serializer to know what the enclosing object is.
From there, the tree can be climbed back to the root.
It is possible to make instance creation a strategy design pattern, but the
subclassing approach is sufficient for now but there are not strong use-cases
supporting it.
