Constructor Detail

AbstractActorTemplate

public AbstractActorTemplate()

Method Detail

defineOptions

public void defineOptions()

Adds options to the internal list of options.

Specified by:

defineOptions in interface OptionHandler

Overrides:

defineOptions in class AbstractOptionHandler

getDefaultName

protected String getDefaultName()

Returns the default name.

Returns:

the default

setName

public void setName(String value)

Sets the new name for the actor. Empty string uses the current one.

Parameters:

value - the name

getName

public String getName()

Returns the new name for the actor. Empty String uses the current one.

Returns:

the name

nameTipText

public String nameTipText()

Returns the tip text for this property.

Returns:

tip text for this property suitable for displaying in the gui

isInteractive

public abstract boolean isInteractive()

Whether the flow generated is an interactive one.

Returns:

true if interactive

preGenerate

protected void preGenerate()

Hook before generating the actor.

Default implementation does nothing.

doGenerate

protected abstract Actor doGenerate()

Generates the actor.

Returns:

the generated acto

postGenerate

protected Actor postGenerate(Actor actor)

Hook before generating the actor.

Default implementation just updates the name of the actor, if necessary.

Parameters:

actor - the actor to post-process

Returns:

the processed actor

generate

public Actor generate()

Returns the generated actor.

Returns:

the actor

shallowCopy

public AbstractActorTemplate shallowCopy()

Returns a shallow copy of itself, i.e., based on the commandline options.

Specified by:

shallowCopy in interface ShallowCopySupporter<AbstractActorTemplate>

Returns:

the shallow copy

shallowCopy

public AbstractActorTemplate shallowCopy(boolean expand)

Returns a shallow copy of itself, i.e., based on the commandline options.

Specified by:

shallowCopy in interface ShallowCopySupporter<AbstractActorTemplate>

Parameters:

expand - whether to expand variables to their current values

Returns:

the shallow copy

compareTo

public int compareTo(Object o)

Compares this object with the specified object for order. Returns a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this object is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified object.

Only compares the commandlines of the two objects.

Parameters:

o - the object to be compared.

Returns:

a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this object is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified object.

Throws:

ClassCastException - if the specified object's type prevents it from being compared to this object.

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Returns whether the two objects are the same.

Only compares the commandlines of the two objects.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

o - the object to be compared

Returns:

true if the object is the same as this one

getBaselineCorrections

public static String[] getBaselineCorrections()

Returns a list with classnames of template generator schemes.

Returns:

the template generator classnames

forName

public static AbstractActorTemplate forName(String classname,
                                            String[] options)

Instantiates the template generator scheme with the given options.

Parameters:

classname - the classname of the template generator scheme to instantiate

options - the options for the template generator scheme

Returns:

the instantiated template generator scheme or null if an error occurred

forCommandLine

public static AbstractActorTemplate forCommandLine(String cmdline)

Instantiates the template generator scheme from the given commandline (i.e., classname and optional options).

Parameters:

cmdline - the classname (and optional options) of the template generator scheme to instantiate

Returns:

the instantiated template generator scheme or null if an error occurred
