Class ChainedCharTransformer

java.lang.Object

org.mmbase.util.transformers.ReaderTransformer

org.mmbase.util.transformers.ChainedCharTransformer

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, CharTransformer, Transformer

public class ChainedCharTransformer
extends ReaderTransformer
implements CharTransformer

A CharTransformer which wraps N other CharTransformers, and links them with N - 1 new Threads, effectively working as a 'chained' transformer. The first transformation is done by the ChainedCharTransformer instance itself, after starting the N - 1 Threads for the other N - 1 transformations. If no CharTransformers are added, and 'transform' is called, logically, nothing will happen. Add the CopyCharTransformer if necessary. Schematicly:

  new ChainedCharTransformer().add(T1).add(T2)....add(TN).transform(R, W);

  ___________  __________       _________
 /           \/          \     /         \
 |  R  --> PW - PR --> PW -...- PR --> W  |
 |     T1     |    T2     |    |   TN     |
 \___________/ \_________/     \_________/


 R: reader, PR: piped reader, W: writer, PW, piped writer, T1 - TN: transformers

Method Detail

add

public ChainedCharTransformer add(CharTransformer ct)

Adds a CharTranformer to the chain of CharTransformers. If the CharTransformer is a ChainedCharTransformer, then it will not be added itself, but its elements will be added.

addAll

public ChainedCharTransformer addAll(Collection<CharTransformer> col)

Adds a Collection of CharTranformers to the chain of CharTransformers.

Throws:

ClassCastException - if collection does not contain only CharTransformers

add

public ChainedCharTransformer add(CharTransformer... col)

Since:

MMBase-1.9
