Class CPAMInterface
java.lang.Object
|
+--wrapper.CPAMInterface
- public class CPAMInterface
- extends java.lang.Object
General class for interfacing to a megamodule. Subclasses implement the
various protocols for CPAM. This class offers a test-routine to test wrapped
megamodules locally without using a distribution system to access them.
Methods for accepting messages over CPAM and returning messages must be
added by subclasses.
Field Summary |
protected CPAMMegamodule |
m
Reference to the megamodule instance belonging to this interface instance. |
protected java.lang.String |
paramType
Indicates which kind of parameters have to be expected; valid values are
so far "String" and "Gentype" |
Constructor Summary |
CPAMInterface()
Never use this constructor. |
CPAMInterface(java.lang.String paramType,
java.lang.String megamodule)
Instantiates a megamodule inclusive its interface to a distribution
protocol. |

m
protected CPAMMegamodule m
- Reference to the megamodule instance belonging to this interface instance.
An instance of CPAMMEgamodule is automatically created when CPAMInterface is
instanciated. The reference m is needed for accessing its methods when
handling CPAM messages.
paramType
protected java.lang.String paramType
- Indicates which kind of parameters have to be expected; valid values are
so far "String" and "Gentype"
CPAMInterface
public CPAMInterface()
throws java.rmi.RemoteException
- Never use this constructor.
CPAMInterface
public CPAMInterface(java.lang.String paramType,
java.lang.String megamodule)
throws java.rmi.RemoteException
- Instantiates a megamodule inclusive its interface to a distribution
protocol. Megamodule is the name of the wrapped computational code and is
a subclass of CPAMMegamodule. Paramtype is so far either String or Gentype
and indicates the type of parameters used by the interface class (and of
course also by the wrapped computational code).
This constructor
starts up a megamodule instance. It can be expanded by a subclass of
CPAMInterface to also register the megamodule in a registry for remote
access.
test
public void test()
- Interactive test method. Allows to test a megamodule instance interactively
even without any CPAM interface. In case of wrong inputs or other errors,
exceptions will be thrown and printed out, yet interaction can continue.
For a description of the commands and the possible parameters, see
the description of CPAM and the appropriate CHAIMS repository.
