Interface RemoteAccessor

All Superinterfaces:

Accessor, java.rmi.Remote

All Known Implementing Classes:

RemoteAccessorImpl, RemoteAccessorImpl_Stub

public interface RemoteAccessor

extends Accessor, java.rmi.Remote

This interface is the same as Accessor, just tagged as java.rmi.Remote. This intervening layer is necessary so that the rmi compiler interpretes concrete multiarrays like MultiArrayImpl as return by value. Otherwise, if Accessor itself were remote, rmic would generate stubs for MultiArrayImpl to be a remote reference.

As of this writing (jdk1.1), the rmi compiler rmic is braindead in the sense that it doesn't recognize that java.rmi.RemoteException isa java.io.IOException. Hence, we reproduce each method declaration from Accessor, narrowing the throws specification.

                          int[] shape)
                   throws java.rmi.RemoteException

Description copied from interface: Accessor

Aggregate read access. Return a new MultiArray of the same componentType as this, and with shape as specified, which is initialized to the values of this, as clipped to (origin, origin + shape).

It is easier to implement than to specify :-).

The main reason to implement this instead of using the equivalent proxy is for remote or file access.

assert(origin[ii] + shape[ii] <= lengths[ii]);

Specified by:

copyout in interface Accessor

Following copied from interface: ucar.multiarray.Accessor

Parameters:

origin - int array specifying the starting index.

shape - int array specifying the extents in each dimension. This becomes the shape of the return.

Returns:

the MultiArray with the specified shape

copyin

public void copyin(int[] origin,
                   MultiArray source)
            throws java.rmi.RemoteException

Description copied from interface: Accessor

Aggregate write access. Given a MultiArray, copy it into this at the specified starting index. TODO: clearer specification.

Hopefully this member can be optimized in various situations.

assert(origin[ii] + (source.getLengths())[ii] <= (getLengths())[ii]);

Specified by:

copyin in interface Accessor

Following copied from interface: ucar.multiarray.Accessor

Parameters:

origin - int array specifying the starting index.

source - MultiArray with the same componentType as this and shape smaller than this.getLengths() - origin

toArray

public java.lang.Object toArray()
                         throws java.rmi.RemoteException

Description copied from interface: Accessor

Returns a new array containing all of the elements in this MultiArray. The returned array is one dimensional. The order of the elements in the result is natural, as if we used an IndexIterator to step through the elements of this MultiArray. The component type of the result is the same as this.

This method acts as bridge between array-based and MultiArray-based APIs.

This method is functionally equivalent to

Object anArray = Array.newInstance(getComponentType(), 1);
int [] origin = new int[getRank()]
int [] shape = getDimensions();
return toArray(anArray, origin, shape);
 

Specified by:

toArray in interface Accessor

Following copied from interface: ucar.multiarray.Accessor

Returns:

a one dimensional Array containing all the elements in this MultiArray

toArray

public java.lang.Object toArray(java.lang.Object anArray,
                                int[] origin,
                                int[] shape)
                         throws java.rmi.RemoteException

Description copied from interface: Accessor

Returns an array containing elements of this MultiArray specified by origin and shape, possibly converting the component type. The returned array is one dimensional. The order of the elements in the result is natural, as if we used an IndexIterator to step through the elements of this MultiArray.

The anArray argument should be an array. If it is large enough to contain the output, it is used and no new storage is allocated. Otherwise, new storage is allocated with the same component type as the argument, and the data is copied into it.

This method acts as bridge between array-based and MultiArray-based APIs.

This method is similar to copyout(origin, shape).toArray(), but avoids a copy operation and (potentially) an allocation.

NOTE: Implementation of type conversion is deferred until JDK 1.2. Currently, the componentType of anArray must be the same as this

Specified by:

toArray in interface Accessor

Following copied from interface: ucar.multiarray.Accessor

Returns:

a one dimensional Array containing the specified elements
