public class Dimension

extends Expression

A Dimension defines a top-level ANDed term in the condition part of every rule in a decision table. A Dimension extends Expression and contains

• a BucketSet, or a reference to a datamodel BucketSet
• a table of DimensionNodes. For the last Dimension, the table contains a node per rule in the sheet.

The Expression's value can be quantized using the BucketSet. One way to think of a rule sheet is a multi-dimensional cube whose cells are addressed by a bucket in each dimension and contain actions.

Dimensions are ordered by their position in the DimensionTable of the containing RuleSheet.

Method Detail

getPrivateBucketSetProperty

public DictionaryProperty<BucketSet> getPrivateBucketSetProperty()

Get PrivateBucketSet Property.

Returns:

DictionaryProperty of type BucketSet

getSharedBucketSetProperty

public ChoosableProperty getSharedBucketSetProperty()

Get SharedBucketSet Property.

Returns:

ChoosableProperty

getDimensionNodeTableProperty

@Deprecated
public TableProperty<DimensionNode> getDimensionNodeTableProperty()

Deprecated. use DTRule.getDimensionNodeTableProperty()

Get DimensionNodeTable Property.

Returns:

DimensionNode Table

getBucketSet

public BucketSet getBucketSet()

Get BucketSet of the dimension. If #setSharedBucketSet has been called with a non-null argument, that argument is returned if it still exists (has not been deleted). If #setSharedBucketSet has been called with a null argument, the private bucketset is returned.

Returns:

BucketSet of the Dimension

isBucketSetShared

public boolean isBucketSetShared()

Is the BucketSet shared

Returns:

boolean flag

setSharedBucketSet

public void setSharedBucketSet(BucketSet bucketSet)

Set SharedBucketSet and BucketSet shared flag Null bucketSet clears shared flag.

Parameters:

bucketSet -

setSharedBucketSetByAlias

public void setSharedBucketSetByAlias(java.lang.String alias)

getSharedBucketSetOptions

public java.lang.String[] getSharedBucketSetOptions()

getSharedBucketSetSelected

public int getSharedBucketSetSelected()

getDimensionNodeTable

public DimensionNodeTable getDimensionNodeTable()

Get DimensionNodeTable

Returns:

DimensionNodeTable of DimensionNodes in this Dimension

merge

public void merge()
           throws SDKException

Merge all DimensionNodes in this Dimension so that no node has a sibling. In an ordered rulesheet, this may decrease the number rules in the sheet, and may create invalid DTActionNodes if conflicting actions parameter values are merged.

Throws:

SDKException

span

public void span()

Span all consecutive DimensionNodes in this Dimension with same buckets.

canSpan

public boolean canSpan()

Test whether (nodes in) this dimension can be spanned.

split

public void split()
           throws SDKException

Split the Dimension in the same way split(true)

Throws:

SDKException

split

public void split(boolean expanded)
           throws SDKException

Split the Dimension such that each sibling group has all values in the bucketset. This split method never splits existing dimension nodes. Use splitExisting if that that is the desired behavior. if expanded is false, then for each sibling group, only one Dimension Node is added and this new node contains all of the previously unrepresented buckets. if expanded is true, then for each sibling group, one Dimension Node is added for each previously unrepresented bucket for subsequent rows in the DimensionTable, a "don't care" is added for each new node in this Dimension. These Dimensions must then be split if one wishes to have a rule combinations of buckets.

Throws:

SDKException

unspan

public void unspan()

Unspan all nodes in this dimension. Afterward, all nodes in this dimension have at most one child.

canUnspan

public boolean canUnspan()

Test whether (nodes in) this dimension can be unspanned.
