Class SPSDecoder

java.lang.Object
ca.spatial.util.SPSDecoder
public abstract class SPSDecoder extends Object
This class keeps tracks of decoders that convert objects into constructor scripts. Class register their decoder information with this class using the setDecoder(ca.spatial.util.DecodeTemplate) methods. The decodeValue(java.lang.Object) method or the DecodeTemplate.decode(java.lang.Object, java.lang.String, java.lang.StringBuilder, java.util.Map<java.lang.Object, java.lang.String>) methods may be used to generate the Java source code representation of the objects.

    • addDecoder

      public static void addDecoder​(ArgumentDecoder decoder)
      Add an ArgumentDecoder to the front of the list
      Parameters:
      decoder - the ArgumentDecoder to add

    • setDecoder

      public static DecodeTemplate setDecoder​(DecodeTemplate et)
      Add a default decoder that uses reflection to automatically figure out the constructor.
      Parameters:
      et - the DecodeTemplate to add. This will be applied to object of the class specified in the template.

    • setDecoder

      public static DecodeTemplate setDecoder​(Class c, String[] args)
      Add a decoder for the specified class that uses reflection to automatically figure out the constructor.
      Parameters:
      c - The class to define
      args - The base names of the getters for the arguments. For each argument 'arg' there must exist a getter method with a name of 'getArg()'. See the DecodeTemplate class documentation for more information.

    • setDecoder

      public static DecodeTemplate setDecoder​(Class c, String[] args, String documentation)
      Add a decoder for the specified class that uses reflection to automatically figure out the constructor.
      Parameters:
      c - The class to define
      args - The base names of the getters for the arguments. For each argument 'arg' there must exist a getter method with a name of 'getArg()'. See the DecodeTemplate class documentation for more information. * @param documentation optional documentation that will be output prior to the object definition.

      Get an encoder for the specified class or superclass
      Parameters:
      c - the class to retrieve the encoder for. This methods will search up through the inheritance chain looking for a matching decoder.
      Returns:
      an appropriate decoder or a

    • addDefaultMapping

      public static void addDefaultMapping​(Object o, String name)
      Add a mapping for a well known object that will be used for all subsequent decode operations. These objects are assumed to be known to the environment where the scripts will be run, and therefor do not need to be fully decoded.
      Parameters:
      o - the object to add to the map
      name - the symbolic name to be used to refer to the object.

    • getDefaultMappingsFor

      Return a list of all of the default mappings that match to the specified class.

    • format

      public static String format​(Object o, String formatString)
      Decode an object and interpolate the results in to the specified format string. Attempt to format the object in 'inline' mode (suitable for string, numbers and simple objects).
      Parameters:
      o - the object to decode
      formatString - the format string to embed the object in
      Returns:
      the interpolated string with the decoded object

    • format

      public static String format​(Object o, String formatString, String varName)
      Decode an object and interpolate the results in to the specified format string.
      Parameters:
      o - the object to decode
      formatString - the format string to embed the object in
      varName - the variable name to assign the object to
      Returns:
      the interpolated string with the decoded object

    • format

      public static String format​(Object o, String formatString, String varName, Map<Object,​String> resolved)
      Decode an object and interpolate the results in to the specified format string.
      Parameters:
      o - the object to decode
      formatString - the format string to embed the object in
      varName - the variable name to assign the object to
      resolved - a hashmap containing previously resolved objects and and the symbolic names that they have been assigned to. This parameter may be null, in which case the default resolved list will be used.
      Returns:
      the interpolated string with the decoded object

    • formatArgs

      public static String formatArgs​(Object[] o, String formatString)
      Decode an array of objects and interpolate the results in to the specified format string.
      Parameters:
      o - the array of objects to decode
      formatString - the MessageFormat format string to embed the objects in. In this format string argument {0} will be populated with any additional not-inlined object content, and {1} to {n} with the individual arguments. Note this means object o[0] is in position {1}, o[1] in {2}, etc.
      Returns:
      the interpolated string with the decoded objects
      See Also:
      MessageFormat

    • decodeValue

      public static String decodeValue​(Object arg)
      Decode an object if a decoder is available, otherwise return "null". This method will search for the most appropriate decoder for the object. This decoder only works for simple objects that do not contain additional dependents. An unchecked exception will be thrown if the argument is not a simple expression.

      This will make a canonical representations of the simple object.

      Parameters:
      arg - The object to decode
      Returns:
      the object definition.

    • decodeValue

      public static String decodeValue​(Object arg, String name, StringBuilder sb, Map<Object,​String> resolved)
      Decode an object if a decoder is available, otherwise return "null". This method will search for the most appropriate decoder for the object, and continue to decode all parameters.
      Parameters:
      arg - The object to decode
      name - A name to be used to refer to the object in the resolve map, which can be reused in subsequent decodings to refer to the same object.
      sb - a StringBuilder object that the decode methods will use to to contain the Java code that it creates.
      resolved - A Map of object references and symbolic names. The decoder will use heuristics to decide when to inline references or to give object symbolic names. The objects that are given sybolic names are added to the resolved map so that they may be defined once and referenced multiple times. You may also pre-populate the resolved map with references to well known objects. These objects will be replaced with the symbolic names rather than being decoded. Be careful if reusing a resolved map from one invocation of the decode mthod to another: in some cases different object may be given the same symbolic name resulting in incorrect references.
      Returns:
      if a name has been provided, the name is return and the object definition (plus all subordinate object definitions) are contained in the StringBuilder object. If the name parameter had a null value, then the full object definition is returned.

    • decodeValue

      public static String decodeValue​(Object arg, String name, StringBuilder sb, Map<Object,​String> resolved, Class asType)
      Decode an object if a decoder is available, otherwise return "null". This method will search for the most appropriate decoder for the object, and continue to decode all parameters.
      Parameters:
      arg - The object to decode
      name - A name to be used to refer to the object in the resolve map, which can be reused in subsequent decodings to refer to the same object.
      sb - a StringBuilder object that the decode methods will use to to contain the Java code that it creates.
      resolved - A Map of object references and symbolic names.
      asType - the type of object that is expected to be converted. This is mostly ignored, but will make a difference when primitives are boxed within reference types. The decoder will use heuristics to decide when to inline references or to give object symbolic names. The objects that are given sybolic names are added to the resolved map so that they may be defined once and referenced multiple times. You may also pre-populate the resolved map with references to well known objects. These objects will be replaced with the symbolic names rather than being decoded. Be careful if reusing a resolved map from one invocation of the decode mthod to another: in some cases different object may be given the same symbolic name resulting in incorrect references.
      Returns:
      if a name has been provided, the name is return and the object definition (plus all subordinate object definitions) are contained in the StringBuilder object. If the name parameter had a null value, then the full object definition is returned.
