Class AbstractAlgorithm

java.lang.Object

org.n52.wps.server.AbstractAlgorithm

All Implemented Interfaces:

IAlgorithm

Direct Known Subclasses:

AbstractSelfDescribingAlgorithm

public abstract class AbstractAlgorithm
extends Object
implements IAlgorithm

This class has to be extended in order to be served through the WPS. The class file should also include a description file of the algorithm. This file has to be valid against the describeProcess.xsd. The file has to be placed in the folder of the class file and has to be named the same as the Algorithm.

If you want to apply a different initialization method, just override the initializeDescription() method. NOTE: This class is an adapter and it is recommended to extend this.

Constructor and Description
AbstractAlgorithm() default constructor, calls the initializeDescription() Method

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
net.opengis.wps.x100.ProcessDescriptionType	getDescription()
String	getWellKnownName() Returns some well-known name for the process.
protected net.opengis.wps.x100.ProcessDescriptionType	initializeDescription() This method should be overwritten, in case you want to have a way of initializing.
boolean	processDescriptionIsValid() Checks if the processDescription complies to the process itself and fits any schema or other dependencies.

Constructor Detail

AbstractAlgorithm

public AbstractAlgorithm()

default constructor, calls the initializeDescription() Method

AbstractAlgorithm

public AbstractAlgorithm(String wellKnownName)

default constructor, calls the initializeDescription() Method

Method Detail

initializeDescription

protected net.opengis.wps.x100.ProcessDescriptionType initializeDescription()

This method should be overwritten, in case you want to have a way of initializing. In detail it looks for a xml descfile, which is located in the same directory as the implementing class and has the same name as the class, but with the extension XML.

Returns:

getDescription

public net.opengis.wps.x100.ProcessDescriptionType getDescription()

Specified by:

getDescription in interface IAlgorithm

processDescriptionIsValid

public boolean processDescriptionIsValid()

Description copied from interface: IAlgorithm

Checks if the processDescription complies to the process itself and fits any schema or other dependencies.

Specified by:

processDescriptionIsValid in interface IAlgorithm

getWellKnownName

public String getWellKnownName()

Description copied from interface: IAlgorithm

Returns some well-known name for the process.

Specified by:

getWellKnownName in interface IAlgorithm

Returns:

Returns some well-known name for the process or algorithm if that exists, else returns an empty String, never null.
