Constructor Detail

DescriptorValue

public DescriptorValue(DescriptorSpecification specification,
                       String[] parameterNames,
                       Object[] parameterSettings,
                       IDescriptorResult value,
                       String[] descriptorNames)

Construct a descriptor value object, representing the numeric values as well as parameters and provenance. This constructor should be used when there has been no error during the descriptor calculation

Parameters:

specification - The specification

parameterNames - The parameter names for the descriptors

parameterSettings - The parameter settings

value - The actual values

descriptorNames - The names of the values

DescriptorValue

public DescriptorValue(DescriptorSpecification specification,
                       String[] parameterNames,
                       Object[] parameterSettings,
                       IDescriptorResult value,
                       String[] descriptorNames,
                       Exception exception)

Construct a descriptor value object, representing the numeric values as well as parameters and provenance. This constructor should be used when there has been an error during the descriptor calculation

Parameters:

specification - The specification

parameterNames - The parameter names for the descriptors

parameterSettings - The parameter settings

value - The actual values

descriptorNames - The names of the values

exception - The exception object that should have been caught if an error occurred during descriptor calculation

Returns an array of names for each descriptor value calculated. Many descriptors return multiple values. In general it is useful for the descriptor to indicate the names for each value. When a descriptor creates a DescriptorValue object, it should supply an array of names equal in length to the number of descriptor calculated. In many cases, these names can be as simple as X0, X1, ..., XN where X is a prefix and 0, 1, ..., N are the indices. On the other hand it is also possible to return other arbitrary names, which should be documented in the JavaDocs for the descriptor (e.g., the CPSA descriptor). Note that by default if a descriptor returns a single value (such as ALOGPDescriptor the return array will have a single element In case a descriptor creates a DescriptorValue object with no names, this method will generate a set of names based on the DescriptorSpecification object supplied at instantiation.

Returns:

An array of descriptor names.
