Constructor Details

DatabaseResultListener

public DatabaseResultListener()
                       throws Exception

Sets up the database drivers

Throws:

Exception - if an error occurs

Method Details

globalInfo

public String globalInfo()

Returns a string describing this result listener

Returns:

a description of the result listener suitable for displaying in the explorer/experimenter gui

preProcess

public void preProcess(ResultProducer rp)
                throws Exception

Prepare for the results to be received.

Specified by:

preProcess in interface ResultListener

Parameters:

rp - the ResultProducer that will generate the results

Throws:

Exception - if an error occurs during preprocessing.

postProcess

public void postProcess(ResultProducer rp)
                 throws Exception

Perform any postprocessing. When this method is called, it indicates that no more results will be sent that need to be grouped together in any way.

Specified by:

postProcess in interface ResultListener

Parameters:

rp - the ResultProducer that generated the results

Throws:

Exception - if an error occurs

determineColumnConstraints

public String[] determineColumnConstraints(ResultProducer rp)
                                    throws Exception

Determines if there are any constraints (imposed by the destination) on any additional measures produced by resultProducers. Null should be returned if there are NO constraints, otherwise a list of column names should be returned as an array of Strings. In the case of DatabaseResultListener, the structure of an existing database will impose constraints.

Specified by:

determineColumnConstraints in interface ResultListener

Parameters:

rp - the ResultProducer to which the constraints will apply

Returns:

an array of column names to which resutltProducer's results will be restricted.

Throws:

Exception - if an error occurs.

acceptResult

public void acceptResult(ResultProducer rp,
 Object[] key,
 Object[] result)
                  throws Exception

Submit the result to the appropriate table of the database

Specified by:

acceptResult in interface ResultListener

Parameters:

rp - the ResultProducer that generated the result

key - The key for the results.

result - The actual results.

Throws:

Exception - if the result couldn't be sent to the database

isResultRequired

public boolean isResultRequired(ResultProducer rp,
 Object[] key)
                         throws Exception

Always says a result is required. If this is the first call, prints out the header for the Database output.

Specified by:

isResultRequired in interface ResultListener

Parameters:

rp - the ResultProducer wanting to generate the result

key - The key for which a result may be needed.

Returns:

true if the result should be calculated.

Throws:

Exception - if the database couldn't be queried

cacheKeyNameTipText

public String cacheKeyNameTipText()

Returns the tip text for this property

Returns:

tip text for this property suitable for displaying in the explorer/experimenter gui

getCacheKeyName

public String getCacheKeyName()

Get the value of CacheKeyName.

Returns:

Value of CacheKeyName.

setCacheKeyName

public void setCacheKeyName(String newCacheKeyName)

Set the value of CacheKeyName.

Parameters:

newCacheKeyName - Value to assign to CacheKeyName.

getRevision

public String getRevision()

Returns the revision string.

Specified by:

getRevision in interface RevisionHandler

Overrides:

getRevision in class DatabaseUtils

Returns:

the revision
