public interface AbleTranslateTemplateProvider

This interface allows beans to supply any unique behavior required for their inputs and outputs.

Method Summary

void	generateTranslateTemplates(AbleFilter inFilter, AbleFilter outFilter, java.util.Vector fields) Populate a filter for converting data to a bean's input specifications, and a filter for converting a bean's output specifications back to the original coordinates.

Method Detail

generateTranslateTemplates

public void generateTranslateTemplates(AbleFilter inFilter,
                                       AbleFilter outFilter,
                                       java.util.Vector fields)
                                throws AbleException

Populate a filter for converting data to a bean's input specifications, and a filter for converting a bean's output specifications back to the original coordinates. Translate templates are added to each filter for each field as appropriate for its field usage and datatype. A bean who wishes to provide only default templates can use the static link provided in AbleFilter.generateTranslateTemplates(com.ibm.able.beans.filter.AbleFilter, com.ibm.able.beans.filter.AbleFilter, java.util.Vector)

Parameters:

inFilter - The AbleFilter used to convert incoming data.

outFilter - The AbleFilter used to convert outgoing data.

fields - A vector of AbleFields from which to derive the translation template.

Returns:

An array containing two AbleFilter objectshe translation template.

Throws:

AbleException
