Interface ArmTranReportFactory

All Superinterfaces:
ArmInterface
All Known Implementing Classes:
ArmTranReportFactory

public interface ArmTranReportFactory
extends ArmInterface

Provides methods to create instances of the classes in the org.opengroup.arm40.tranreport package. An error callback method can be registered for objects created with this factory (see setErrorCallback(ArmErrorCallback)). For additional details about error handling philosophy see the description of ArmTransactionFactory.

Semantics of the factory methods are provided in the description of the individual methods below.

ArmTranReportFactory is instantiated using a class loader. The actual name of the factory implementation class is obtained from the system property whose name is provided in the propertyKey constant.

Method Detail

newArmApplicationRemote

ArmApplicationRemote newArmApplicationRemote(ArmApplicationDefinition definition,
                                             java.lang.String group,
                                             java.lang.String instance,
                                             java.lang.String[] contextValues,
                                             ArmSystemAddress systemAddress)
Creates an ArmApplicationRemote. If systemAddress is null, the addressing information for the local system is used.

Parameters:
definition - metadata describing the type of the ARM application. Must not be null.
group - Name of the group the application belongs to. May be null.
instance - Name this application instance is given. May be null.
contextValues - An array of strings providing the value parts of (name,value) context properties. May be null.
systemAddress - address of the remote system the application is executing on.
Returns:
a new ArmApplicationRemote instance.

newArmSystemAddress

ArmSystemAddress newArmSystemAddress(short format,
                                     byte[] addressBytes,
                                     ArmID id)
Creates an ArmSystemAddress from the specified format and the input byte array. See the ArmSystemAddress description for more details about the parameters. The length of the address data is the length of addressBytes, if not restricted otherwise through the format parameter.

Parameters:
format - the address format.
addressBytes - a byte array containig the address data.
id - An optional 16-byte ID associated with the identity of the ArmSystemAddress.
Returns:
a new ArmSystemAddress

newArmSystemAddress

                                     ArmID id)
Creates an ArmSystemAddress from the specified format and the input byte array. See the ArmSystemAddress description for more details about the parameters. The length of the address data is the length of addressBytes, if not restricted otherwise through the format parameter.

Parameters:
format - the address format.
addressBytes - a byte array containig the address data.
id - An optional 16-byte ID associated with the identity of the ArmSystemAddress.
offset - start of the address bytes within the array.
Returns:
a new ArmSystemAddress

newArmSystemAddress

ArmSystemAddress newArmSystemAddress(short format,
                                     byte[] addressBytes,
                                     int offset,
                                     int length,
                                     ArmID id)
Creates an ArmSystemAddress from the specified format and the input byte array. See the ArmSystemAddress description for more details about the parameters. The length of the address data is length, if not restricted otherwise through the format parameter.

Parameters:
format - the address format.
addressBytes - a byte array containig the address data.
id - An optional 16-byte ID associated with the identity of the ArmSystemAddress.
offset - start of the address bytes within the array.
length - the number of bytes of valid address data.
Returns:
a new ArmSystemAddress

newArmTranReport

ArmTranReport newArmTranReport(ArmApplication app,
                               ArmTransactionDefinition definition)
Creates an object that represents an instance of a transaction. The metadata is supplied in an ArmTransactionDefinition object. It is scoped by an application instance, represented by ArmApplication (or its subclass, ArmApplicationRemote).

Parameters:
app - the application instance the transaction belongs to.
definition - the metadata describing the type of the transaction.
Returns:
a new ArmTranReport instance.

setErrorCallback

boolean setErrorCallback(ArmErrorCallback errorCallback)
Registers an error callback for objects created through this factory. See the error handling philosophy comment in the description of ArmTransactionFactory.

Parameters:
errorCallback - an application object implementing the ArmErrorCallback> interface.
Returns:
true if registration is accepted.
