Constructor Detail

DemoCreateTransientInstanceActivity

public DemoCreateTransientInstanceActivity(org.w3c.dom.Element element)
                                    throws ActivitySpecificationException,
                                           ActivityCreationException

Constructs an demo create transient instance activity using the specified XML element.

Parameters:

element - Element to configure the activity with - from a perform document.

Throws:

ActivityCreationException - If there is a problem constructing the activity due to an implementation error or OGSA-DAI confguration problem.

ActivitySpecificationException - If there is a problem constructing the activity due to an invalid setting in element. mistake such as an invalid setting.

Method Detail

initialise

public void initialise()
                throws ActivitySpecificationException,
                       ActivityExecutionException

Description copied from class: Activity

This method should be overridden by subclasses to perform any initialisation they require before the process method invocations begin. This might be used for setting up convenient fields to reference objects contained in the context. It shouldn't be used for opening resources. That should be done in processFirst.

Overrides:

initialise in class Activity

Throws:

ActivityExecutionException - If some system problem prevents the activity from initialising.

ActivitySpecificationException - If a problem with settings provided by a client prevents the activity from initialising.

processBlock

public void processBlock()

Description copied from class: Activity

Performs an iteration of the processing of an activity. This may involve reading a block of input data and writing a block of output data, or may involve some other kind of processing. When an activity is processed by the OGSA-DAI engine, this method will be invoked repeatedly until the activity either completes or stops due to an error or termination call. An implementation of this method should invoke the setCompleted method to indicate that processing is complete, or the setError method if an error occurs that will prevent the processing from completing.
