Constructor & Destructor Documentation

alma.asdm.PointingTable.PointingTable ( ASDM container ) [package]

Create a PointingTable.

This constructor has package access because only the container can create tables. All tables must know the container to which they belong.

Parameters:

container

The container to which this table belongs.

Member Function Documentation

String [] alma.asdm.PointingTable.getAttributesNames ( ) [virtual]

Returns the names of the attributes of the rows stored in that table.

Returns:: the attributes names as an array of String.

Implements alma.asdm.ASDMTable.

ASDM alma.asdm.PointingTable.getContainer ( )

Return the container to which this table belongs.

Returns:: a ASDM.

String alma.asdm.PointingTable.toString ( )

Returns "PointingTable" followed by the current size of the table between parenthesis.

Example : SpectralWindowTable(12)

Returns:: a String.

PointingRow alma.asdm.PointingTable.newRow ( )

Create a new row with default values .

Returns:: a PointingRow

PointingRow alma.asdm.PointingTable.add ( PointingRow x ) throws DuplicateKey

Add a row.

Parameters:

a pointer to the PointingRow to be added.

Returns:: a PointingRow. If the table contains a PointingRow whose attributes (key and mandatory values) are equal to x ones then returns a pointer on that PointingRow, otherwise returns x.

Exceptions:

DuplicateKey

{ thrown when the table contains a PointingRow with a key equal to the x one but having and a value section different from x one }

Note:: The row is inserted in the table in such a way that all the rows having the same value of ( antennaId ) are stored by ascending time.

See also:: method getByContext.

PointingRow alma.asdm.PointingTable.newRow	(	Tag	antennaId,
		ArrayTimeInterval	timeInterval,
		int	pointingModelId,
		int	numPoly,
		ArrayTime	timeOrigin,
		Angle	pointingDirection[][],
		Angle	target[][],
		Angle	offset[][],
		Angle[]	encoder,
		boolean	pointingTracking
	)

Create a new row initialized to the specified values.

(the autoincrementable attribute if any is not in the parameter list)

Returns:: the new initialized row.

Parameters:

	antennaId.
	timeInterval.
	pointingModelId.
	numPoly.
	timeOrigin.
	pointingDirection.
	target.
	offset.
	encoder.
	pointingTracking.

PointingRow alma.asdm.PointingTable.newRow ( PointingRow row )

Create a new row using a copy constructor mechanism.

The method creates a new PointingRow owned by this. Each attribute of the created row is a (deep) copy of the corresponding attribute of row. The method does not add the created row to this, its simply parents it to this, a call to the add method has to be done in order to get the row added (very likely after having modified some of its attributes). If row is null then the method returns a new PointingRow with default values for its attributes.

Parameters:

row

the row which is to be copied.

PointingRow [] alma.asdm.PointingTable.get ( )

Get all rows.

Returns:: Alls rows as an array of PointingRow

PointingRow [] alma.asdm.PointingTable.getByContext ( Tag antennaId )

Returns all the rows sorted by ascending startTime for a given context.

The context is defined by a value of ( antennaId ).

Returns:: an array of PointingRow. A null returned value means that the table contains no PointingRow for the given ( antennaId ).

PointingRow alma.asdm.PointingTable.getRowByKey	(	Tag	antennaId,
		ArrayTimeInterval	timeInterval
	)

Returns a PointingRow given a key.

Returns:: a pointer to the row having the key whose values are passed as parameters, or 0 if no row exists for that key.

ASDMRow [] alma.asdm.PointingTable.getRows ( ) [virtual]

Returns the rows of an ASDMTable as an array of ASDMRow.

Returns:: an array of ASDMRow.

Implements alma.asdm.ASDMTable.

PointingTableIDL alma.asdm.PointingTable.toIDL ( )

Convert this table into a PointingTableIDL CORBA structure.

Returns:: a PointingTableIDL

void alma.asdm.PointingTable.fromIDL ( PointingTableIDL x ) throws DuplicateKey, ConversionException

Populate this table from the content of a PointingTableIDL Corba structure.

Exceptions:

	DuplicateKey	Thrown if the method tries to add a row having a key that is already in the table.
	ConversionException

String alma.asdm.PointingTable.toXML ( ) throws ConversionException

Translate this table to an XML representation conform to the schema defined for Pointing (PointingTable.xsd).

Returns:: a string containing the XML representation.

Implements alma.asdm.Representable.

void alma.asdm.PointingTable.fromXML ( String xmlDoc ) throws ConversionException

Populate this table from the content of a XML document that is required to be conform to the XML schema defined for a Pointing (PointingTable.xsd).

Exceptions:

ConversionException

Implements alma.asdm.Representable.

byte [] alma.asdm.PointingTable.toMIME ( ) throws ConversionException

Serialize this into a stream of bytes and encapsulates that stream into a MIME message.

Returns:: an array of bytes containing the MIME message.

void alma.asdm.PointingTable.setFromMIME ( byte[] mimeMsg ) throws ConversionException

Extracts the binary part of a MIME message and deserialize its content to fill this with the result of the deserialization.

Parameters:

mimeMsg

the array of bytes containing the MIME message.

Exceptions:

ConversionException

void alma.asdm.PointingTable.toFile ( String directory ) throws ConversionException

Stores a representation (binary or XML) of this table into a file.

Depending on the boolean value of its private field fileAsBin a binary serialization of this (fileAsBin==true) will be saved in a file "Pointing.bin" or an XML representation (fileAsBin==false) will be saved in a file "Pointing.xml". The file is always written in a directory whose name is passed as a parameter.

Parameters:

directory

The name of directory where the file containing the table's representation will be saved.

Exceptions:

ConversionException

void alma.asdm.PointingTable.setFromFile ( String directory ) throws ConversionException

Reads and parses a file containing a representation of a PointingTable as those produced by the toFile method.

This table is populated with the result of the parsing.

Parameters:

directory

The name of the directory containing the file te be read and parsed.

Exceptions:

ConversionException

If any error occurs while reading the files in the directory or parsing them.

void alma.asdm.PointingTable.setEntity ( Entity e )

Set the table's entity.

Parameters:

An entity.

Implements alma.asdm.Representable.

String alma.asdm.PointingTable.toArchive ( Archiver ar ) throws ConversionException, ArchiverException [package]

Store this table into the archive.

Parameters:

the archiver in charge of the archiving.

Returns:: the UID assigned to the archived table.

void alma.asdm.PointingTable.fromArchive	(	Archiver	ar,
		String	UID
	)			throws ConversionException, ArchiverException

Retrieve this table from the archive.

Parameters:

the archiver in charge of the archiving.
