getDataPacketDefinitions

Iterator getDataPacketDefinitions()

This method returns an Iterator over all the IDataPacketDefinitions required to call this process.

Returns:

getDataPackets

Vector getDataPackets(Inputs inputs,
                      IInputRequirements inputRequirements)

This method attempts to construct the DataPackets required to call this process.
This method makes use of the DataPacketDefinitions to build the DataPacket. For each DataPacketDefinition it will try and locate all the required values from the given Inputs and InputRequirements.

The InputDefinition.getRequirement method is called to determine where to get the values for the DataPacket, according to the following rules:

• REQUIRED: The value will be retrieved from the Inputs.
• CONSTANT: The value will be retrieved from the InputDefinition.getDefaultValue method.
• OPTIONAL: The value will be retrieved from the Inputs. If no value is found in the Inputs, the value from InputDefinition.getDefaultValue will be used.
• CODED: The value will not be filled. CODED values must be supplied by the calling View or Controller.
