Interface RemoteFeature.Resolver

  • All Known Implementing Classes:
    SimpleRemoteFeature.DBResolver
    Enclosing interface:
    RemoteFeature

    public static interface RemoteFeature.Resolver
    The interface for objects that actually can take a RemoteFeature and return a Sequence object with the feature resolved into a real feature.

    An implementation may choose to create a new Assembly from Sequences in a SequenceDB instance, or to return some existing larger Sequence that the sequence parent of the Feature is part of. This interface should ensure canonicalization of the returned Feature and the Sequence it resides on (using, for instance, SoftReferenceCacheMap keyed by a set of sequence IDs).

        Feature resolve​(RemoteFeature rFeat)
                 throws IllegalIDException,
                        BioException
        Resolve rFeat.

        This method returns a Feature that represents the RemoteFeature rFeat on some Sequence where all of the Regions can be represented localy. This may be an assembly of the parent sequence of rFeat and each of the Sequences that have IDs listed in the Region list of rFeat.

        Parameters:
        rFeat - the RemoteFeature to resolve
        Returns:
        a Feature on some other Seqence where each Region of rFeat is resolved into a local Location
        Throws:
        IllegalIDException
        BioException
