public abstract class CellImpl

extends ActionImpl

implements Cell

CellImpl is the abstract superclass for computations. It has a set of input DataReferences and an output DataReference, which updates whenever an input changes. Cell is runnable.

CellImpl is not Serializable and should not be copied between JVMs.

Field Summary

(package private) DataReference[]

otherReferences references to Data use in computation, other than those in ReferenceActionLink-s

Constructor Summary

CellImpl()
construct a CellImpl with null name

CellImpl(String name)
construct a CellImpl

Method Summary

(package private) void	adaptedSetOtherReference(int index, RemoteDataReference ref) called by RemoteCellImpl.setOtherReference() set a non-triggering link to a RemoteDataReference; this is used to give the Cell access to Data without triggering the Cell's doAction whenever the Data changes; these 'other' DataReferences are identified by their integer index
abstract void	doAction() subclasses of CellImpl implement doAction to execute triggered computation
DataReference	getOtherReference(int index)
void	setOtherReference(int index, DataReference ref) set a non-triggering link to a DataReference; this is used to give the Cell access to Data without triggering the Cell's doAction whenever the Data changes; these 'other' DataReferences are identified by their integer index

public abstract void doAction()
                       throws VisADException,
                              RemoteException

subclasses of CellImpl implement doAction to execute triggered computation

Specified by:

doAction in class ActionImpl

Throws:

VisADException - - a VisAD error occurred

RemoteException - - an RMI error occurred

setOtherReference

public void setOtherReference(int index,
                              DataReference ref)
                       throws VisADException,
                              RemoteException

set a non-triggering link to a DataReference; this is used to give the Cell access to Data without triggering the Cell's doAction whenever the Data changes; these 'other' DataReferences are identified by their integer index

Specified by:

setOtherReference in interface Cell

Parameters:

index - - identifier of DataReference

ref - - DataReference to be linked

Throws:

VisADException - - a VisAD error occurred

RemoteException - - an RMI error occurred

adaptedSetOtherReference

                              RemoteDataReference ref)

called by RemoteCellImpl.setOtherReference() set a non-triggering link to a RemoteDataReference; this is used to give the Cell access to Data without triggering the Cell's doAction whenever the Data changes; these 'other' DataReferences are identified by their integer index

Parameters:

index - - identifier of DataReference

ref - - DataReference to be linked

Throws:

VisADException - - a VisAD error occurred

RemoteException - - an RMI error occurred

getOtherReference

public DataReference getOtherReference(int index)
                                throws VisADException,
                                       RemoteException

Specified by:

getOtherReference in interface Cell

Parameters:

index - - identifier of DataReference to return

Returns:

the non-triggering link to a DataReference identified by index

Throws:

VisADException - - a VisAD error occurred

RemoteException - - an RMI error occurred
