public class DeliverToResourcePropertyActivity
extends Activity

This activity writes its input to a resource property. The activity can be added to the end of an activity pipeline to turn a sychronous request into an asynchronous one. When the request is completed the client can retrieve the result from the resource property. See the activity user documentation for more details: OGSADAI/doc/interaction/activities/delivery/deliverToResourceProperty.html

DeliverToResourcePropertyActivity

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

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.

processBlock in class Activity
