Class SensorAdapterFactory

java.lang.Object

de.hawhamburg.reachability.sensor.SensorAdapterFactory

public final class SensorAdapterFactory
extends java.lang.Object

Factory to create and start new sensor adapters.

This factory provides static methods to get and start SensorAdapter objects. A sensor adapter needs to be located within the sub-package "adapter" and to implement the Sensor interface.

Method Detail

getConnectedSensorAdapter

public static SensorAdapter getConnectedSensorAdapter(java.lang.String className,
                                      ReasonerDimension dimension)

Loads the adapter specified by its class name from the sub-package "adapter" using getSensorAdapter(String, ReasonerDimension) and connects it afterwards using SensorAdapter.connect(). It will then return the SensorAdapter object. If the SensorAdapter could not be found or instantiated, null will be returned instead.

Parameters:

className - The SensorAdapters class name as string.

dimension - The ReasonerDimension for which the sensor will supply values.

Returns:

The SensorAdapter on success, otherwise null.

getSensorAdapter

public static SensorAdapter getSensorAdapter(java.lang.String className,
                             ReasonerDimension dimension)

Tries to instantiate a SensorAdapter by a supplied class name from the sub-package "adapter". If the SensorAdapter could not be found or instantiated, null will be returned instead.

Parameters:

className - The SensorAdapters class name as string.

dimension - The ReasonerDimension for which the sensor will supply values.

Returns:

The SensorAdapter on success, null otherwise.
