public String outputFileTipText()

Returns the tip text for this property

Returns:

tip text for this property suitable for displaying in the explorer/experimenter gui

getOutputFile

public File getOutputFile()

Get the value of OutputFile.

Returns:

Value of OutputFile.

setOutputFile

public void setOutputFile(File newOutputFile)

Set the value of OutputFile. Also sets the OutputFileName.

Parameters:

newOutputFile - Value to assign to OutputFile.

outputFileName

public String outputFileName()

Get the value of OutputFileName.

name - the name of OutputFile.

preProcess

public void preProcess(ResultProducer rp)
                throws Exception

Prepare for the results to be received.

Specified by:

preProcess in interface ResultListener

Parameters:

rp - the ResultProducer that will generate the results

Throws:

Exception - if an error occurs during preprocessing.

postProcess

public void postProcess(ResultProducer rp)
                 throws Exception

Perform any postprocessing. When this method is called, it indicates that no more results will be sent that need to be grouped together in any way.

Specified by:

postProcess in interface ResultListener

Parameters:

rp - the ResultProducer that generated the results

Throws:

Exception - if an error occurs

determineColumnConstraints

public String[] determineColumnConstraints(ResultProducer rp)
                                    throws Exception

Determines if there are any constraints (imposed by the destination) on the result columns to be produced by resultProducers. Null should be returned if there are NO constraints, otherwise a list of column names should be returned as an array of Strings.

Specified by:

determineColumnConstraints in interface ResultListener

Parameters:

rp - the ResultProducer to which the constraints will apply

Returns:

an array of column names to which resutltProducer's results will be restricted.

Throws:

Exception - if an error occurs.

acceptResult

public void acceptResult(ResultProducer rp,
                         Object[] key,
                         Object[] result)
