gate.creole.ParameterList

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class ParameterList
extends Object
implements Serializable

ParameterList

public ParameterList()

Method Detail

getRuntimeParameters

public List<List<Parameter>> getRuntimeParameters()

Get the list of runtime parameters (as a list of parameter disjunctions).

getInitimeParameters

public List<List<Parameter>> getInitimeParameters()

Get the list of initialisation-time parameters (as a list of parameter disjunctions).

add

public boolean add(List<Parameter> disjunction)

Add a parameter disjunction. It is assumed that the parameters in a disjunction are all runtime or all init-time, never a mix of the two.

Throws:

NoSuchElementException - disjunction has no more elements.

addAll

public boolean addAll(List<Parameter> c)

Add all the members of a parameter list (as individual disjunctions)

getRuntimeDefaults

public FeatureMap getRuntimeDefaults()
                              throws ParameterException

Get default runtime parameter value set. Calls getDefaults(List).

Throws:

ParameterException

See Also:

getDefaults(List)

getInitimeDefaults

public FeatureMap getInitimeDefaults()
                              throws ParameterException

Get default initime parameter value set. Calls getDefaults(List).

Throws:

ParameterException

See Also:

getDefaults(List)

getDefaults

public FeatureMap getDefaults(List<List<Parameter>> parameters)
                       throws ParameterException

Get default parameter value set. Where more than one default is possible amongst disjunctive parameters, only the first will be set. To check if the default set is comprehensive, use isFullyDefaulted().

Throws:

ParameterException

See Also:

isFullyDefaulted()

isFullyDefaulted

public boolean isFullyDefaulted()

Get the status of the last run of getDefaults(List). If the last run managed to find a default for all parameters that are part of a disjunction of which none are optional, then this status is true; else it is false.

getDefaults(List)

toString

public String toString()

String representation

Overrides:

toString in class Object
