public class HistoryFlavor
extends Object

The HistoryFlavor is used to distinguish different types of historical data. Different data sinks will specialize in handling different flavors.

Method Details

typeId

public String typeId()

This is the broad type id. Different datasinks will look at this to decide if they support the data.

subTypeId

public String subTypeId()

This id is used as a finer grained identifying under the root flavor id. This will be used to find the correct codec for this type of data. For example, DatasourceData is a generic flavor for things that store to a connection. However, that is not enough information to support import/export, so implementors can register codecs for subtypes, and use those flavors, while still being "DatasourceData".

getDescription

public LocalizedString getDescription()

isCompatible

public boolean isCompatible(HistoryFlavor flavor)

Kind of like equals, tells whether the incoming flavor is compatible with this one. Necessary because some subclass flavors can encompass other flavors. Base implementation just uses equals.

writeToXml

public void writeToXml(SimpleXMLWriter writer,
 HistoricalData data)
                throws Exception

Throws:

Exception

getXmlImportHandler

public SimpleXMLReader<HistoricalData> getXmlImportHandler(GatewayContext context)

Gets the XML reader that can decode the output from writeToXml. The default implementation reads from base64. It is provided with the gateway context in case any special deserialization needs to occur.

equals

Overrides:

equals in class Object

equals
