Class BatchProcessor<T,S>

java.lang.Object

edu.claflin.finder.logic.processor.BatchProcessor<T,S>

Type Parameters:

T - the object Type to be processed.

S - the expected output Type of the processing.

public final class BatchProcessor<T,S>
extends java.lang.Object

Used to process one or multiple objects. Processing is accomplished via a level of abstraction. This is the primary control structure of the SNBA code base.

Constructor Detail

BatchProcessor

public BatchProcessor()

Constructs a BatchProcessor. Since a BatchProcessor object only relies on restrictions set using angle bracket operators, no other information is needed for proper instantiation.

Method Detail

processSingular

public java.util.ArrayList<S> processSingular(T toProcess,
                                              Processable<T,S> processor)

Processes a singular object. Utilizes a system of abstraction to allow multiple parts of the program to rely on the same infrastructure for performing mass-processing.

Parameters:

toProcess - the T object to process.

processor - the Processable object to process with.

Returns:

the S object array containing the results of the processing.

processMultiple

public java.util.ArrayList<java.util.ArrayList<S>> processMultiple(T[] toProcess,
                                                                   Processable<T,S> processor)

Processes multiple files. This method does so by calling the processSingular(T, Processable) method.

Parameters:

toProcess - the T object array containing the objects to be processed.

processor - the Processable object to process the objects with.

Returns:

the S object two dimensional array containing the collective results of the processing.
