Method Detail

inputSpec2Map

public static java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object>[] inputSpec2Map(MetadataAccessor metadataAccessor)
                                                                        throws SoaplabException

Convert a set of InputPropertyDef's into a Map (as defined and used, for example, by Analysis in Soaplab. The input spec is available from the given 'metadataAccessor'.

Throws:

SoaplabException

outputSpec2Map

public static java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object>[] outputSpec2Map(MetadataAccessor metadataAccessor)
                                                                         throws SoaplabException

Convert a set of OutputPropertyDef's into a Map (as defined and used, for example, by Analysis in Soaplab). The output spec is available from the given 'metadataAccessor'.

Filter out some properties that are not useful for the end-users. But keep there a backdoor: when a property 'show.all.properties' is on, do not filter them.

Throws:

SoaplabException

analysisSpec2Map

public static java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> analysisSpec2Map(MetadataAccessor metadataAccessor)
                                                                         throws SoaplabException

Convert a set of Analysis attributes into a Map (as defined and used, for example, by Analysis in Soaplab. The attributes are available from the given 'metadataAccessor'.

Filter out some properties that are not useful for the end-users. But keep there a backdoor: when a property 'show.all.properties' is on, do not filter them.

Throws:

SoaplabException

                                               java.lang.String serviceName,
                                               java.lang.Object owner)
                                        throws SoaplabException
