All Implemented Interfaces:

Renderer

public class ICISPedigreeTree
extends AbstractMobyRenderer

This is a very specific viewer (it understands just one specific Biomoby type - GCP_GermplasmPedigreeTree). I have included here, however, because it shows how a viewer can further ask for additional data using the same Biomoby service that created the initial data for this viewer.

Method Detail

canHandle

public boolean canHandle(String criterion,
                         Object value)

Description copied from interface: Renderer

Return true if this SPI can handle (render) data whose type complies with given value within given criterion.

Any renderer should handle also a collection of objects that it can handle - see examples in Renderer.getComponent(org.biomoby.service.dashboard.data.DataContainer) and Renderer.save2File(org.biomoby.service.dashboard.data.DataContainer, java.io.File).

Specified by:

canHandle in interface Renderer

Specified by:

canHandle in class AbstractRenderer

Parameters:

criterion - is a category of the value, e.g. "MIME-TYPE"

value - is a value from the category criterion, e.g. "text/xml"

getComponent

public JComponent getComponent(DataContainer data)
                        throws MobyException

Description copied from interface: Renderer

Return a JComponent displaying (rendering) given data.

If it gets an array of data, it can always delegate their accumulation to the CollectionRenderer by saying:

   if (data.getData().getClass().isArray())
      return new BoxCollectionRenderer (this).getComponent (data);

Specified by:

getComponent in interface Renderer

Specified by:

getComponent in class AbstractRenderer

Parameters:

data - to be rendered

Returns:

a component for displaying data, or null if there is a problem with data

Throws:

MobyException - if called with wrong type of data

save2File

public boolean save2File(DataContainer data,
                         File file)
                  throws MobyException

Does not provide any file saving facility.

Specified by:

save2File in interface Renderer

Overrides:

save2File in class AbstractRenderer

Returns:

true on success, return false if you even did nt try to save data (probably because it does not make sense to store such data)

Throws:

MobyException - if saving was tried but failed
