Interface DataAdaptPlugIn

public interface DataAdaptPlugIn

An interface for adapting (changing, filtering) analysis data.

The implementation classes will be usually loaded dynamically - therefore they should have a non-parameter constructor.

Method Summary

void	process(java.lang.String dataName, java.io.InputStream source, java.io.OutputStream result) Read 'source' data, adapt them, and create the result back.
void	process(java.lang.String dataName, java.io.InputStream source, java.io.OutputStream result, java.util.Map properties) The same as process but you may specified additional requirements in the properties.

Method Detail

process

void process(java.lang.String dataName,
             java.io.InputStream source,
             java.io.OutputStream result)
             throws java.io.IOException,
                    org.embl.ebi.analysis.AnalysisException

Read 'source' data, adapt them, and create the result back. Because the source is identifiable, the same class may produce slightly different results dependiong on the source name.

Parameters:

dataName - identifies what data are being adapted

source - data to be read

result - data to be produced

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if there were 'physical' problems with reading or writing data

AnalysisException - if there were 'logical' problems (for example unexpected source format, or missing pieces in the source)

process

void process(java.lang.String dataName,
             java.io.InputStream source,
             java.io.OutputStream result,
             java.util.Map properties)
             throws java.io.IOException,
                    org.embl.ebi.analysis.AnalysisException

The same as process but you may specified additional requirements in the properties.

Parameters:

dataName - identifies what data are being adapted

source - data to be read

result - data to be produced

properties - define additional requirements or features of the transformation

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if there were 'physical' problems with reading or writing data

AnalysisException - if there were 'logical' problems (for example unexpected source format, or missing pieces in the source)
