public class AnnotatedBeanProcessFactory
extends AnnotationDrivenProcessFactory

Annotation driven process factory; used to wrap up a bunch of Java beans as a single Process Factory.

To make use of this class you will need to:

1. Create an instance passing in a list of "bean" classes you wish to publish:

    ProcessFactory factory = new AnnotatedBeanProcessFactory( Text.text("Internal"),"internal", ExampleProcess);
          

2. Create an implementation of each bean class referenced:
   • Annotate the class with DescribeProcess:

         @DescribeProcess( title = "bounds",
                           description = "Computes the overlall bounds of the input features")
         public class BoundsProcess {
         ...
         }

   • Supply an execute method (which we can call by reflection):

          @DescribeResult(name = "bounds",
                          description = "The feature collection bounds")
          public ReferencedEnvelope execute( @DescribeParameter(name = "features",
                                                                description = "Collection whose bounds will be computed")
                                              FeatureCollection features) {
              return features.getBounds();
         }
         

3. Optional: If you are using this technique in an environment such as Spring you may wish to use a "marker interface" to allow Spring to discover implementations on the classpath.

    public class BoundsProcess implements GeoServerProcess {
        ...
    }

Method Details

getProcessDescription

protected DescribeProcess getProcessDescription(Name name)

Used to go through the list of java beans; returning the DescribeProcess annotation for each one.

Specified by:

getProcessDescription in class AnnotationDrivenProcessFactory

Parameters:

name - Process name

Returns:

DescribeProcess annotation for the named process

method

protected Method method(String className)

Resolves to the execute method for the provided java bean.

Specified by:

method in class AnnotationDrivenProcessFactory

Returns:

the "execute" method of the indicated java bean.

getNames

public Set<Name> getNames()

List of processes published; generated from the classMap created in the constructuor.

Returns:

a set of names handled by this process factory

createProcessBean

protected Object createProcessBean(Name name)

Create an instance of the named process bean.

By having an actual object here we allow implementors to hold onto a bit of state if they wish. The object will need to have an execute method and be annotated with a describe process annotation.

Specified by:

createProcessBean in class AnnotationDrivenProcessFactory

Parameters:

name - Name of the process bean

Returns:

intance of process bean; or null if the method is a static method
