public class ReturnSegment
extends SegmentDefinition

A segment that will end propagation of a SegmentList that contains this segment even if there are other segments still in the list. Due to the nature of how this segment works, it is not possible for it to run as a single standalone segment; it must be nested in the SegmentList that it will jump out of.

ReturnSegment

public ReturnSegment(SegmentList parentList,
                     @Nonnull
                     ReturnSegmentBehavior behavior)

Initializes a new instance.

Parameters:

parentList - The SegmentList to return from.

behavior - If this segment is enabled or not.

ReturnSegment

protected ReturnSegment(@Nonnull
                        ReturnSegment existingInstance,
                        @Nonnull
                        CopyContext context)

Initializes a new instance as a copy of an existing instance.

See ICloneWithContext.clone(CopyContext) for more information about how to implement this constructor in a derived class.

Parameters:

existingInstance - The existing instance to copy.

context - A CopyContext that controls the depth of the copy.

Throws:

ArgumentNullException - Thrown when existingInstance or context is null.

Method Detail

clone

public Object clone(CopyContext context)

Clones this object using the specified context.

This method should be implemented to call a copy constructor on the class of the object being cloned. The copy constructor should take the CopyContext as a parameter in addition to the existing instance to copy. The copy constructor should first call CopyContext.addObjectMapping(T, T) to identify the newly constructed instance as a copy of the existing instance. It should then copy all fields, using CopyContext.updateReference(T) to copy any reference fields.

A typical implementation of ICloneWithContext:

public static class MyClass implements ICloneWithContext {
    public MyClass(MyClass existingInstance, CopyContext context) {
        context.addObjectMapping(existingInstance, this);
        someReference = context.updateReference(existingInstance.someReference);
    }

    @Override
    public final Object clone(CopyContext context) {
        return new MyClass(this, context);
    }

    private Object someReference;
}

In general, all fields that are reference types should be copied with a call to CopyContext.updateReference(T). There are a couple of exceptions:

1. Fields that are aggregate parts of the object should always be copied. A referenced object is an aggregate if properties or methods on the object being copied can modify the externally-visible value of the referenced object.
2. If the semantics of the referenced object require that it have a single parent, owner, context, etc., and the object being copied is that parent, owner, or context, then the referenced object should always be copied.

If one of these exceptions applies, the CopyContext should be given an opportunity to update the reference before the reference is copied explicitly. Use CopyContext.updateReference(T) to update the reference. If CopyContext.updateReference(T) returns the original object, indicating that the context does not have a replacement registered, then copy the object manually by invoking a Clone method, a copy constructor, or by manually constructing a new instance and copying the values.

alwaysCopy = context.updateReference(existingInstance.alwaysCopy);
if (existingInstance.alwaysCopy != null && alwaysCopy == existingInstance.alwaysCopy) {
    alwaysCopy = (AlwaysCopy) existingInstance.alwaysCopy.clone(context);
}

If you are implementing an evaluator (a class that implements IEvaluator), the IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) method shares some responsibilities with the copy context constructor. Code duplication can be avoided by doing the following:

1. For references to other evaluators ONLY, simply assign the reference in the constructor instead of calling CopyContext.updateReference(T). You should still call CopyContext.updateReference(T) on any references to non-evaluators.
2. Call IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) as the last line in the constructor and pass it the same CopyContext passed to the constructor.
3. Implement IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) as normal. See the reference documentation for IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) for more information on implementing that method.

public MyClass(MyClass existingInstance, CopyContext context) {
    super(existingInstance, context);
    someReference = context.updateReference(existingInstance.someReference);
    evaluatorReference = existingInstance.evaluatorReference;
    updateEvaluatorReferences(context);
}

@Override
public void updateEvaluatorReferences(CopyContext context) {
    evaluatorReference = context.updateReference(evaluatorReference);
}

@Override
public Object clone(CopyContext context) {
    return new MyClass(this, context);
}

private Object someReference;
private IEvaluator evaluatorReference;

Specified by:

clone in interface ICloneWithContext

Specified by:

clone in class DefinitionalObject

Parameters:

context - The context to use to perform the copy.

Returns:

A new instance which is a copy of this object.

checkForSameDefinition

protected final boolean checkForSameDefinition(SegmentDefinition other)

Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns true if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return false for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IEquatableDefinition.isSameDefinition(java.lang.Object).

Specified by:

checkForSameDefinition in class SegmentDefinition

Parameters:

other - The other instance to compare to this one.

Returns:

true if the two objects are defined equivalently; otherwise false.

checkForSameDefinition

protected boolean checkForSameDefinition(ReturnSegment other)

Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns true if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return false for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IEquatableDefinition.isSameDefinition(java.lang.Object).

Parameters:

other - The other instance to compare to this one.

Returns:

true if the two objects are defined equivalently; otherwise false.

computeCurrentDefinitionHashCode

protected int computeCurrentDefinitionHashCode()

Computes a hash code based on the current properties of this object. Derived classes MUST override this method and compute a hash code that combines: a unique hash code seed, the base implementation result, and the hash codes of all new fields introduced by the derived class which are used in the ReturnSegment.checkForSameDefinition(agi.foundation.segmentpropagation.SegmentDefinition) method.

Overrides:

computeCurrentDefinitionHashCode in class SegmentDefinition

Returns:

The computed hash code.

enumerateDependencies

public void enumerateDependencies(DependencyEnumerator enumerator)

Enumerates the dependencies of this object by calling DependencyEnumerator#enumerate(T) for each object that this object directly depends upon. Derived classes which contain additional dependencies MUST override this method, call the base implementation, and enumerate dependencies introduced by the derived class.

Specified by:

enumerateDependencies in interface IEnumerateDependencies

Overrides:

enumerateDependencies in class DefinitionalObject

Parameters:

enumerator - The enumerator that is informed of the dependencies of this object.

getBehavior

@Nonnull
public final ReturnSegmentBehavior getBehavior()

Gets if this segment will return or not when propagated. By default this is ReturnSegmentBehavior.ENABLED.

setBehavior

public final void setBehavior(@Nonnull
                              ReturnSegmentBehavior value)

Sets if this segment will return or not when propagated. By default this is ReturnSegmentBehavior.ENABLED.

getParentList

public final SegmentDefinition getParentList()

Gets the SegmentDefinition that this segment will return from. This does not have to be the immediate parent segment. If this ReturnSegment is in a list that is in this parent list, it will return out of the ParentList (get / set). Note that some SegmentDefinitions will return a SegmentListResults even though the segment is not a SegmentList.

setParentList

public final void setParentList(SegmentDefinition value)

Sets the SegmentDefinition that this segment will return from. This does not have to be the immediate parent segment. If this ReturnSegment is in a list that is in this parent list, it will return out of the ParentList (get / set). Note that some SegmentDefinitions will return a SegmentListResults even though the segment is not a SegmentList.

createSegmentPropagator

protected SegmentPropagator createSegmentPropagator(EvaluatorGroup group,
                                                    SegmentDefinition previousSegment)

Creates, configures, and returns the SegmentPropagator for this segment. This method should check that all of the required properties on the concrete instance are configured properly before constructing the SegmentPropagator to be returned.

Specified by:

createSegmentPropagator in class SegmentDefinition

Parameters:

group - The group to use during creation.

previousSegment - The previous segment. Some segments will require the previousSegment to be set, whereas other will require that the previous segment not be null, whereas others will only use information from it if provided. It is up to you writing a concrete type to enforce what makes sense for your particular segment in this method.

Returns:

The propagator for this segment.

getElementAdapter

public StateElementAdapterDefinition getElementAdapter(String element)

Returns the adapter for the given state element. The StateElementAdapters handle the various transformations of the propagated elements between segments (for example, if the integration frame of a point being propagated changes from one segment to another, the adapter is what handles that transformation between segment). All elements propagated by this segment must have an adapter returned by this method (even if that adapter simply returns the original state). If multiple segments are being propagated by this segment (as a SegmentList would), this must return the adapter of the StateElementAdapter of the element for the final known segment getting propagated.

In general, the concrete SegmentDefinition should have a list of the adapter factory instances that are valid for this segment, and then this method would get the element definition object from this segments configuration.

Overrides:

getElementAdapter in class SegmentDefinition

Parameters:

element - The element whose StateElementAdapter is needed.

Returns:

The adapter with the element defined-in set, or null if there is no such factory.

addPropagationFinishedEvent

public void addPropagationFinishedEvent(EventHandler<SegmentPropagationEventArgs> value)

An event that gets raised when propagation is complete.

Specified by:

addPropagationFinishedEvent in class SegmentDefinition

removePropagationFinishedEvent

public void removePropagationFinishedEvent(EventHandler<SegmentPropagationEventArgs> value)

An event that gets raised when propagation is complete.

Specified by:

removePropagationFinishedEvent in class SegmentDefinition

getPassAllElementsToNextSegment

public boolean getPassAllElementsToNextSegment()

Gets a value indicating whether the segment is such that it will not define any Elements (get) or StateElementAdapters. Such a segment typically affects the control flow of multiple segments instead of propagating state elements. By default this is false, but if the specific derived segment can use the previous segment's adapters, override this property to always return true. Even if this is true some segments may require adapters to be set with the ReturnSegment.setElementAndAdapter(agi.foundation.coordinates.StateElementAdapterDefinition) method.

Overrides:

getPassAllElementsToNextSegment in class SegmentDefinition

setElementAndAdapter

public boolean setElementAndAdapter(StateElementAdapterDefinition adapter)

Add or sets an adapter for an element in this segment.

Note that many types of derived segments will automatically handle their adapters by interrogating properties specific to the derived segment. Also some segments whose PassAllElementsToNextSegment (get) property is true do not require adapters or elements to be set.

These adapters have the responsibility of processing the initial state that the propagator will start propagating from. They will modify the initial state passed to this segment so that the state is in a form that the propagator can process.

Overrides:

setElementAndAdapter in class SegmentDefinition

Parameters:

adapter - An instance of the factory that makes the adapter. This must be configured with the current defined in object (if appropriate) and with the element identification.

Returns:

true if the element was added or set successfully; otherwise false. false does not indicate an error; it means that this segment does not need elements and adapters explicitly set.
