Package org.biojava.nbio.structure.align.ce

Class AbstractUserArgumentProcessor

java.lang.Object

org.biojava.nbio.structure.align.ce.AbstractUserArgumentProcessor

All Implemented Interfaces:

UserArgumentProcessor

Direct Known Subclasses:

CeUserArgumentProcessor, FatCatUserArgumentProcessor, SmithWatermanUserArgumentProcessor

public abstract class AbstractUserArgumentProcessor
extends Object
implements UserArgumentProcessor

Base class for a new structure alignment CLI.

To add a new StructureAlignment with a CLI similar to CE or FATCAT,

1. Implement StructureAlignment with the main algorithm
2. Implement ConfigStrucAligParams. This provides the parameters for the GUI.
3. Subclass StartupParameters (can be an inner class) with the same parameters described in the ConfigStrucAligParams.
4. Subclass AbstractUserArgumentProcessor, with the getStartupParams() method returning a fresh instance of the custom StartupParameters
5. Implement the getParameters() method to copy values from the StartupParameters to the ConfigStrucAligParams.

Note that reflection is used in a number of places, so the CLI argument names must match the get/set functions in both parameter beans.

• AlignmentGUI automatically takes parameter names and types from the ConfigStrucAligParams
• AbstractUserArgumentProcessor also takes parameter names and help descriptions from ConfigStrucAligParams, but it saves arguments to the StartupParameter bean.

This means that both beans should be kept in sync.

Method Detail

getStartupParametersInstance

protected abstract StartupParameters getStartupParametersInstance()

StartupParameters is a bean to store all the possible command line parameters. The `StartupParameter` class contains the basic set of CLI parameters common to all `StructureAligmnent`s. This method should return a subclass of StartupParameters which has been extended to store values for all additional parameters.

Returns:

A new instance of the correct StartupParameters subclass
