      protected DataCell(String name, DataReference outRef) throws VisADException, RemoteException
      Constructs from a name for the instance and the input and output data references. The name of the ActionImpl will be the name of this instance with the suffix ".action". The input and output data references arrays are cloned.
      Parameters:
      name - The name for the instance.
      outRef - The output DataReference.
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if any argument is null or if an input or output data reference is null.

  • Method Details

    • getInputRefs

      public DataReference[] getInputRefs()
      Returns the input data references. The returned array is not backed by this instance.
      Returns:
      The input data references.

    • getOutputRef

      public final DataReference getOutputRef()
      Returns the data references to the output data objects. The array is not backed by this instance.
      Returns:
      The references to the output data objects.

    • enableAllInputRefs

      public void enableAllInputRefs() throws VisADException, RemoteException
      Enables all input data references. An enabled input data reference will trigger recomputation of the output data object when the referenced, input data object changes.
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if an input data reference is null.
      VisADException - if a VisAD failure occurs.
      RemoteException - if a Java RMI failure occurs.

    • disableRef

      public boolean disableRef(DataReference ref) throws VisADException, RemoteException
      Disables an input data reference that was specified during construction. A disabled input data reference will not trigger recomputation of the output data object when the referenced, input data object changes.
      Parameters:
      ref - The input data reference to disable.
      Returns:
      True if and only if the input data reference was enabled when this method was invoked.
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if the argument is null.
      VisADException - if a VisAD failure occurs.
      RemoteException - if a Java RMI failure occurs.

    • clean

      public void clean() throws VisADException, RemoteException
      Cleans this instance. All data references are removed from this instance's ActionImpl and the action is stopped. This instance may be reused after invoking this method,
      Throws:
      VisADException - if a VisAD failure occurs.
      RemoteException - if a Java RMI failure occurs.

    • toString

      public final String toString()
      Returns a string representation of this instance. The instance's name is returned.
