Constructor Detail

SDSequence

public SDSequence()

Constructs a new SDSequence.

SDSequence

public SDSequence(String n)

Constructs a new SDSequence with name n.

Parameters:

n - the name of the variable.

Method Detail

getRowVector

public Vector getRowVector()
                    throws NoSuchVariableException

Get the row vector for into which to read a row os data for this sequence. When serving sequence data to clients the prefered method is to read one row of the sequence at a time in to this vector, evaluate the constraint expression clauses on the current data, and then send it to the client if it satisfies the constraint. The NOT recomended way is to read the ENTIRE sequence into memory prior to sending it (that would be most inefficient).

Returns:

The base (row 0) row vector for this sequence.

Throws:

NoSuchVariableException

printDecl

public void printDecl(PrintWriter os,
             String space,
             boolean print_semi,
             boolean constrained)

Write the variable's declaration in a C-style syntax. This function is used to create textual representation of the Data Descriptor Structure (DDS). See The OPeNDAP User Manual for information about this structure.

Overrides:

printDecl in class DSequence

Parameters:

os - The PrintWriter on which to print the declaration.

space - Each line of the declaration will begin with the characters in this string. Usually used for leading spaces.

print_semi - a boolean value indicating whether to print a semicolon at the end of the declaration.

constrained - a boolean value indicating whether to print the declartion dependent on the projection information. This is only used by Server side code.

See Also:

BaseType.printDecl(PrintWriter, String, boolean,boolean)

printVal

public void printVal(PrintWriter os,
            String space,
            boolean print_decl_p)

Prints the value of the variable, with its declaration. This function is primarily intended for debugging OPeNDAP applications and text-based clients such as geturl.

Important Note

This method overrides the BaseType method of the same name and type signature and it significantly changes the behavior for all versions of printVal() for this type: All the various versions of printVal() will only print a value, or a value with declaration, if the variable is in the projection.

In other words, if a call to isProject() for a particular variable returns true then printVal() will print a value (or a declaration and a value).

If isProject() for a particular variable returns false then printVal() is basically a No-Op.

Overrides:

printVal in class DSequence

Parameters:

os - the PrintWriter on which to print the value.

space - this value is passed to the printDecl method, and controls the leading spaces of the output.

print_decl_p - a boolean value controlling whether the variable declaration is printed as well as the value.

See Also:

BaseType.printVal(PrintWriter, String, boolean), ServerMethods.isProject()

setProject

public void setProject(boolean state,
              boolean all)

Set the state of this variable's projection. true means that this variable is part of the current projection as defined by the current constraint expression, otherwise the current projection for this variable should be false.

Specified by:

setProject in interface ServerMethods

Overrides:

setProject in class DAPNode

Parameters:

state - true if the variable is part of the current projection, false otherwise.

all - If true, set the Project property of all the members (and their children, and so on).

equal

public boolean equal(BaseType bt)
              throws InvalidOperatorException,
                     RegExpException,
                     SBHException

The RelOps interface defines how each type responds to relational operators. Most (all?) types will not have sensible responses to all of the relational operators (e.g. DSequence won't know how to match a regular expression but DString will). For those operators that are nonsensical a class should throw InvalidOperatorException.

Specified by:

equal in interface RelOps

Specified by:

equal in interface ServerMethods

Parameters:

bt - The variable to which to compare 'this' value.

Returns:

True when they are equal, false otherwise.

Throws:

InvalidOperatorException - When the operator cannot be applied to the two data types.

RegExpException - When the regular expression is badly formed.

SBHException - When Something Bad Happens.

setSynthesized

public void setSynthesized(boolean state)

Set the Synthesized property.

Specified by:

setSynthesized in interface ServerMethods

Parameters:

state - If true then the variable is considered a synthetic variable and no part of OPeNDAP will ever try to read it from a file, otherwise if false the variable is considered a normal variable whose value should be read using the read() method. By default this property is false.

Parameters:

state - true if the variable has been read, false otherwise.

read

public abstract boolean read(String datasetName,
           Object specialO)
                      throws NoSuchVariableException,
                             IOException,

Read a value from the named dataset for this variable.

Specified by:

read in interface ServerMethods

Parameters:

datasetName - String identifying the file or other data store from which to read a vaue for this variable.

specialO - This Object is a goody that is used by Server implementations to deliver important, and as yet unknown, stuff to the read method. If you don't need it, make it a null.

Returns:

true if more data remains to be read, otherwise false. This is an abtsract method that must be implemented as part of the installation/localization of a OPeNDAP server.

Throws:

IOException

EOFException

NoSuchVariableException - When a variable can't be found.

serialize

public void serialize(String dataset,
             DataOutputStream sink,
             CEEvaluator ce,
             Object specialO)

                      DAP2ServerSideException,
                      IOException

Server-side serialization for OPeNDAP variables (sub-classes of BaseType). This does not send the entire class as the Java Serializable interface does, rather it sends only the binary data values. Other software is responsible for sending variable type information (see DDS).

Writes data to a DataOutputStream. This method is used on the server side of the OPeNDAP client/server connection, and possibly by GUI clients which need to download OPeNDAP data, manipulate it, and then re-save it as a binary file.

Specified by:

serialize in interface ServerMethods

Parameters:

sink - a DataOutputStream to write to.

dataset - a String indicated which dataset to read from (Or something else if you so desire).

ce - the CEEvaluator to use in the parse process.

specialO - This Object is a goody that is used by a Server implementations to deliver important, and as yet unknown, stuff to the read method. If you don't need it, make it a null.

Throws:

IOException - thrown on any OutputStream exception.

NoSuchVariableException - When a variable cannot be found.

DAP2ServerSideException - When there is a server error.

printXML

public void printXML(PrintWriter pw,
            String pad,
            boolean constrained)

Write the variable's declaration in XML. This function is used to create the XML representation of the Data Descriptor Structure (DDS). See The OPeNDAP User Manual for information about this structure.

Overrides:

printXML in class DConstructor

Parameters:

pw - The PrintWriter on which to print the declaration.

pad - Each line of the declaration will begin with the characters in this string. Usually used for leading spaces.

constrained - a boolean value indicating whether to print the declartion dependent on the projection information. This is only used by Server side code.
