Method Detail

canConvert

public boolean canConvert(Object data,
                 Object outputResource)

Description copied from interface: ConversionHandler

Determine whether this handler can convert the supplied data. Typically, the data will be a MAGETABInvestigation, MAGETABArrayDesign, IDF, SDRF, ADF or nodes from the SDRF or ADF graphs.

This data should be passed to the handler prior to writing to determine whether this handler can handle it

Specified by:

canConvert in interface ConversionHandler<D extends SDRFNode,O>

Parameters:

data - the data that needs to be written

outputResource - the output resource the will be written to

Returns:

true if this handler can handle the supplied data, false otherwise

convert

public void convert(D data,
           O out)
             throws ConversionException

Invoke this convert handler. This will convert the supplied data assigned to this handler into the given output resource.

This abstract implementation delegates the responsibility for setting the correct fields to concrete implementations via convertData(SDRFNode, Object). This method itself governs the update of progress tracking and status information.

Specified by:

convert in interface ConversionHandler<D extends SDRFNode,O>

Parameters:

data - the SDRF node to convert out

out - the resource to convert data to

Throws:

ConversionException - if the handler failed to convert data from it's source

canConvertData

protected abstract boolean canConvertData(SDRFNode data)

Performs specific checks on the SDRFNode to determine if this handler can convert it. This is different from canConvert(Object, Object) in that it is typed to the SDRFNode and not any object - canConvert(Object, Object) handles type checking at the abstract level.

Parameters:

data - the SDRFNode to check

Returns:

true if this handler can convert the node data supplied

convertData

protected abstract void convertData(D data,
               O out)
                             throws ConversionException

Performs the unit of work to convert the data into the given output resource. Override this method in implementations, so that you don't need to implement status updating and checking code.

This method is passed the SDRF to convert from, and the output resource to convert to.

Parameters:

data - the sdrf node to convert

out - the resource to convert data to

Throws:

ConversionException - if there was an error writing the data
