  • Method Details

    • instantiateTemplate

      public static Feature.Template instantiateTemplate(Feature feat) throws BioException
      This attempts to divine the 'best' template class for a feature and return a new instance readly for pupulating.

      This will (hopefully) be the most derived feature interface implemented by a feature class. This code assumes that feature interfaces are singly inherited. Of course, with the current template system, it is a fairly safe assumption.

      Throws:
      BioException

    • populate

      public static void populate(Feature.Template templ, Feature feat) throws BioException
      This attempts to populate the fields of a template using the publically accessible information in a feature. It is simple to call populate() within Feature.makeTemplate() to ensure all the slots get filled.
      Parameters:
      templ - the Feature.Template instance to populate
      feat - the Feature to read info from
      Throws:
      BioException

    • makeTemplate

      public static Feature.Template makeTemplate(Feature feat) throws BioException
      Throws:
      BioException
