Interface LoadedData

All Known Implementing Classes:

EmptyLoadedData, SimpleLoadedData

public interface LoadedData

A dataset loaded from a file. This interface provides a "raw" list of treatment steps with no grouping into samples or sites. It is designed to be used by file loaders to provide data to the Suite class, which will use it to build a hierarchically structured suite.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
java.util.List<java.lang.String>	getExtraLines() Returns a list of non-processed raw lines from the file.
java.util.List<java.lang.String>	getMessages() Returns a list of messages produced during file reading, intended for presentation to the user.
java.util.List<TreatmentStep>	getTreatmentSteps() Returns the treatment steps read from the file.

Method Detail

getTreatmentSteps

java.util.List<TreatmentStep> getTreatmentSteps()

Returns the treatment steps read from the file. May be empty, but not null.

Returns:

a list of treatment steps

getMessages

java.util.List<java.lang.String> getMessages()

Returns a list of messages produced during file reading, intended for presentation to the user. Generally these will be errors or warnings about problems encountered while loading the file. The list may be empty, but not null.

Returns:

a list of messages produced during file reading

getExtraLines

java.util.List<java.lang.String> getExtraLines()

Returns a list of non-processed raw lines from the file. These are lines which have not been interpreted by the loader, but which may be interpreted directly by Suite. Currently it is only used to allow PplLoader to pass sample-, site-, and suite-level data on to the suite, and is ignored by Suite for all other loader classes.

Returns:

a list of raw extra lines from the file
