Method Detail

• advance

  public LayoutController advance​(ReportTarget target)
                           throws DataSourceException,
                                  ReportDataFactoryException,
                                  ReportProcessingException

  Advances the processing position.

  Parameters:

  target - the report target that receives generated events.

  Returns:

  the new layout controller instance representing the new state.

  Throws:

  DataSourceException - if there was a problem reading data from the datasource.

  ReportProcessingException - if there was a general problem during the report processing.

  ReportDataFactoryException - if a query failed.

• join

  public LayoutController join​(FlowController flowController)

  Joins with a delegated process flow. This is generally called from a child flow and should *not* (I mean it!) be called from outside. If you do, you'll suffer.

  Parameters:

  flowController - the flow controller of the parent.

  Returns:

  the joined layout controller that incorperates all changes from the delegate.

• isAdvanceable

  public boolean isAdvanceable()

  Checks, whether the layout controller would be advanceable. If this method returns true, it is generally safe to call the 'advance()' method.

  Returns:

  true, if the layout controller is advanceable, false otherwise.

• createPrecomputeInstance

  public LayoutController createPrecomputeInstance​(FlowController fc)

  Derives a copy of this controller that is suitable to perform a precomputation. The returned layout controller must be independent from the it's anchestor controller.

  Specified by:

  createPrecomputeInstance in interface LayoutController

  Overrides:

  createPrecomputeInstance in class AbstractLayoutController

  Parameters:

  fc - a new flow controller for the precomputation.

  Returns:

  a copy that is suitable for precomputation.
