## [Java] Class VetoableASTTransformation

- groovy.beans.VetoableASTTransformation

-     @GroovyASTTransformation(phase = CompilePhase.CANONICALIZATION)
      public class VetoableASTTransformation
      extends BindableASTTransformation

  Handles generation of code for the `@Vetoable` annotation, and `@Bindable` if also present.

  Generally, it adds (if needed) a VetoableChangeSupport field and the needed add/removeVetoableChangeListener methods to support the listeners.

  It also generates the setter and wires the setter through the VetoableChangeSupport.

  If a Bindable annotation is detected it also adds support similar to what BindableASTTransformation would do.

    Methods
    Type Params | Return Type | Name and description
    --- | --- | ---
    `` | `protected void` | `addVetoableChangeSupport(ClassNode declaringClass)` Adds the necessary field and methods to support vetoable change support.
    `` | `protected Statement` | `createConstrainedStatement(PropertyNode propertyNode, Expression fieldExpression)` Creates a statement body similar to: `this.fireVetoableChange("field", field, field = value)`

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### protected void addVetoableChangeSupport(ClassNode declaringClass)

      Adds the necessary field and methods to support vetoable change support.

      Adds a new field: `"protected final java.beans.VetoableChangeSupport this$vetoableChangeSupport = new java.beans.VetoableChangeSupport(this)"`

      Also adds support methods: `public void addVetoableChangeListener(java.beans.VetoableChangeListener)` `public void addVetoableChangeListener(String, java.beans.VetoableChangeListener)` `public void removeVetoableChangeListener(java.beans.VetoableChangeListener)` `public void removeVetoableChangeListener(String, java.beans.VetoableChangeListener)` `public java.beans.VetoableChangeListener[] getVetoableChangeListeners()`

      Parameters:
        `declaringClass` - the class to which we add the support field and methods

    - #### protected Statement createConstrainedStatement(PropertyNode propertyNode, Expression fieldExpression)

      Creates a statement body similar to: `this.fireVetoableChange("field", field, field = value)`

      Parameters:
        `propertyNode` - the field node for the property
        `fieldExpression` - a field expression for setting the property value
      Returns:
        the created statement

    - #### protected Statement createSetStatement(Expression fieldExpression)

      Creates a statement body similar to: `field = value`.

      Used when the field is not also `@Bindable`.

      Parameters:
        `fieldExpression` - a field expression for setting the property value
      Returns:
        the created statement

    - #### protected void createSetterMethod(ClassNode declaringClass, PropertyNode propertyNode, String setterName, Statement setterBlock)

      Creates a setter method with the given body.

      This differs from normal setters in that we need to add a declared exception java.beans.PropertyVetoException

      Parameters:
        `declaringClass` - the class to which we will add the setter
        `propertyNode` - the field to back the setter
        `setterName` - the name of the setter
        `setterBlock` - the statement representing the setter block

    - #### public static boolean hasVetoableAnnotation(AnnotatedNode node)

      Convenience method to see if an annotated node is `@Vetoable`.

      Parameters:
        `node` - the node to check
      Returns:
        true if the node is constrained

    - #### protected boolean needsVetoableChangeSupport(ClassNode declaringClass, SourceUnit sourceUnit)

      Snoops through the declaring class and all parents looking for a field of type VetoableChangeSupport. Remembers the field and returns false if found otherwise returns true to indicate that such support should be added.

      Parameters:
        `declaringClass` - the class to search
      Returns:
        true if vetoable change support should be added

    - #### public void visit(ASTNode[] nodes, SourceUnit source)

      Handles the bulk of the processing, mostly delegating to other methods.

      Parameters:
        `nodes` - the AST nodes
        `source` - the source unit for the nodes
