All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable, ErrorDependingParameter, Parameter, ParameterDepending, ExitCleaning, Initializable, LocalizedSupplying, PropertySupplying, Reloadable, ResourceSupplying

Direct Known Subclasses:

SnapshotValue

public class SnapshotParameter
extends AbstractParameter
implements ParameterDepending, ErrorDependingParameter, Reloadable

A snapshot parameter records the value of an other parameter at a certain time. As unpredicted points-in-time are asociated with errors, this value-fixation should be triggered by an error received in the main ParameterClustering instance.

Method Summary

Object	get() Gets the last snapshot value.
Object	getForError(ErrorEvent err) Checks if the error received is of the type specified in the KEY_ERROR property.
private boolean	myError(ErrorEvent err) Returns true if we act on this error.
void	registerError(ErrorEvent err) Registers the error.
void	registerParameter(Parameter watch) Registers the asociated parameter which value should be recorded.
double	rescanned(String key, String old, String newval) As any parameter depending instance we fail if the parameter we depend on is now a different one.

Field Detail

KEY_PARAMETER

public static final String KEY_PARAMETER

The name of the parameter which value should be recorded on error.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

KEY_ERROR

public static final String KEY_ERROR

The class name of the error that serves as a snapshot-trigger.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

snapshot

private Parameter snapshot

The asociated parameter.

record

private Object record

The value of the asociated parameter at time of snapshot.

Constructor Detail

SnapshotParameter

public SnapshotParameter(Map prop)

Constructs a new snapshot parameter.

Method Detail

rescanned

public double rescanned(String key,
                        String old,
                        String newval)

As any parameter depending instance we fail if the parameter we depend on is now a different one.

Specified by:

rescanned in interface Reloadable

Overrides:

rescanned in class AbstractParameter

registerParameter

public void registerParameter(Parameter watch)

Registers the asociated parameter which value should be recorded. Checks the name of the parameter handed over against KEY_PARAMETER

Specified by:

registerParameter in interface ParameterDepending

getForError

public Object getForError(ErrorEvent err)

Checks if the error received is of the type specified in the KEY_ERROR property. If so, the current value of the observed parameter is returned, otherwise null is returned.

Specified by:

getForError in interface ErrorDependingParameter

registerError

public void registerError(ErrorEvent err)

Registers the error. If the error is recognized, i.e. the #getFor method return a non-null value, the value of this parameter is adjusted to reflect the value of the served parameter at the time this error was registered.

Specified by:

registerError in interface ErrorDependingParameter

myError

private boolean myError(ErrorEvent err)

Returns true if we act on this error.

get

public Object get()

Gets the last snapshot value. If a no error specified in KEY_ERROR was received since the watched parameter registration, null is returned.

Specified by:

get in interface Parameter

set

public Object set(Object newval)

Sets the snapshot value. Not allowed.

Specified by:

set in interface Parameter

Returns:

The previous value of this parameter.
