public abstract class MIFComposite
extends MIFValue
This is the base class for all composite MIF types. A composite MIF type can contain several other MIF values of some specified type as in, for example, a MIF list or set.

o addValue(Object[])
Adds several MIF values to the composite value, by passing them in an array.
o addValue(String)
Adds a String value to the composite value.
o clear()
Removes all values.
o getComplexity()
Returns the complexity of the composite value.
o insertValueAt(MIFValue, int)
Inserts a value at the specified position.
o isMember(MIFValue)
Returns true if the specified value is a member in the composite value.
o removeValueAt(int)
Removes the value at the specified position.
o setValueAt(MIFValue, int)
Sets a value at the specified position.
o size()
Returns the number of values contained in the composite value.
o typeCheck(MIFValue)
Checks if the specified value is of the right type to be added.
o valueAt(int)

Parameters:
index - index into the composite value.
Returns:
the value at the specified position.
o removeValueAt 
 public void removeValueAt(int index)
Removes the value at the specified position.

Parameters:
index - index into the composite value.
o insertValueAt 
 public void insertValueAt(MIFValue v,
                           int index)
Inserts a value at the specified position.

Parameters:
v - the MIF value to insert.
index - the position to insert the value at.
Throws: MIFTypeException
if type error.
o setValueAt 
 public void setValueAt(MIFValue v,
                        int index)
Sets a value at the specified position.

Parameters:
v - the value to set.
index - the position to set the value at.
Throws: MIFTypeException
if type error.
o clear 
 public void clear()
Removes all values.

o values 
 public Enumeration values()
Returns an enumeration of all values.

Returns:
an enumeration of all values.
o isMember 
 public boolean isMember(MIFValue v)
Returns true if the specified value is a member in the composite value.

Parameters:
v - the value to check if it is a member.
Returns:
true if the value exists and false otherwise.
o typeCheck 
 public boolean typeCheck(MIFValue value)
Checks if the specified value is of the right type to be added.

Parameters:
value - the value to type check.
