A method for creating a pathway abstraction objects from a List of records

toString

public static java.lang.String toString(java.lang.Object o)

getTransformations

public java.lang.String getTransformations()

XML representation of the transformations

getDataSource

public DataSource getDataSource()

getFromSchema

public java.lang.String getFromSchema()

getQuality

public float getQuality()

getRoot

public Root getRoot()

Backward compatible method: return the first element by default

getRoots

public Root[] getRoots()

Get all roots

getToSchema

getNumPathWays

public int getNumPathWays()

return the number of pathways

getModelTree

public Root getModelTree()

Return the models tree dmle 14/11/2005

getKey

public PersistentKey getKey()

Specified by:

getKey in interface PersistentObject

getPersistentAttributes

public java.util.Map getPersistentAttributes()

Specified by:

getPersistentAttributes in interface PersistentObject

deserialise

public static PathwayDescription deserialise(java.util.Map pa)
                                      throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

This method guarantees that a PersistentObject can be deserialised properly from its own set of persistent attributes. It is a reverse of getPersistentAttributes()

Parameters:

pa - a HashMap of persistent attributes (created by {@link #getPersistentAttributes())

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
