DataConsumerDispatcher

public DataConsumerDispatcher(java.lang.Class[] supportedTypes)

Constructs a new DataConsumerDispatcher with the given supported types.

Parameters:

supportedTypes -

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Method Detail

getDefaultDataConsumer

public DataConsumer getDefaultDataConsumer()

Description copied from interface: DataConsumer

Returns the implementation of default consumer type supported by this data consumer.

Specified by:

getDefaultDataConsumer in interface DataConsumer

Returns:

the implementation of default consumer type supported by this data consumer

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Description copied from interface: DataConsumer

Returns name of this data consumer.

Specified by:

getName in interface DataConsumer

Returns:

the name of this data consumer

getSupportedCharacteristics

public java.lang.String[] getSupportedCharacteristics()

Description copied from interface: DataConsumer

Resturns array with names of supported characteristics. Data source can use this method to optimize setting characteristics to this data consumer. If arrray of length 0 is return, then consumer does not need or support any characteristic. If null is returned, than consumer expect all existing characteristics from data source.

Specified by:

getSupportedCharacteristics in interface DataConsumer

Returns:

array with names of supported characteristics

getSupportedConsumerTypes

public java.lang.Class[] getSupportedConsumerTypes()

Description copied from interface: DataConsumer

Returns array of supported data consumer types, which can be used as parameter and returnned with getDataCosnumer(Class) method.

Specified by:

getSupportedConsumerTypes in interface DataConsumer

Returns:

array of supported data consumer types

getDataConsumer

public DataConsumer getDataConsumer(java.lang.Class type)

Description copied from interface: DataConsumer

Returns data consumer for requested data consumer type. If this data consumer does not support required data consumer, null is returned.

If this data cosnumer does not support specific data consumer type, then it means, that it is not desirable to cast data of that type to any by this consumer supported data consumer types.

Specified by:

getDataConsumer in interface DataConsumer

Parameters:

type - Class of specific data consumer (e.g. DoubleConsumer)

Returns:

implementation of required data consumer or null if not supported

updateDataState

public void updateDataState(DataState state)

Description copied from interface: DataConsumer

Push data state (quality) update change for dynamic value. Usually called by data source.

Specified by:

updateDataState in interface DataConsumer

Parameters:

state - new data state(quality) descriptor

setCharacteristics

public void setCharacteristics(java.util.Map characteristics)

Description copied from interface: DataConsumer

Sets new dynamic value characteristics to this data consumer. This is usually called only at initializaation, before first data state or value is updated. Usually carries characteristics such as value minimum or maximum. Name and meaning of atributes is defined with contract betwean data consumer and source implementation.

Specified by:

setCharacteristics in interface DataConsumer

Parameters:

characteristics - the Map with attri
