Package org.geotools.process

Define a Process API used to wrap up processes for reuse.

This API is made available at three levels:

• Process an interface similar in spirit to Runnable used to make spatial data manipulation, transformation, etc.. available to client code
• Processors used for discovery and creation of Process implementations
• ProcessFactory used to advertise additional implementations to the framework (via the FactorySPI plug-in system)

This portion of the program was contributed by Sejong University and funded by Seoul R&BD 10540. Any official publishing of the produced result is requested to retain the aforementioned acknowledgment.

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
Process	A Process that returns a result and reports progress.
ProcessExecutor	An Executor that provides methods to manage termination and methods that can produce a Progress for tracking one or more asynchronous tasks.
ProcessFactory	Used to describe the parameters needed for a group of Process, and for creating a Process to use.
Progress	Used to report on the progress of a running Process.
RenderingProcess	An interface to be implemented by processes meant to be integrated as feature collection/grid coverage transformations in a rendering chain.

Class Summary

Class	Description
Processors	Factory and utility methods for ProcessExecutor, and Process classes defined in this package.
ProgressTask	An implementation of the Progress interface.
ThreadPoolProcessExecutor

Exception Summary

Exception	Description
ProcessException	A runtime exception used when executing a process.
