This SAFSAppMapFile class is intended as the file instance class for a SAFSAppMapService.
Although there are no STAF dependencies, the class is tightly integrated with the reader. It has not been evaluated for any other use. Though, standalone use is likely possible.

Physical SAFS AppMap files are expected to be in a particular format. This is very much like the format for Windows INI files--the same App Map format currently in use for the Rational Robot SAFS Engine (RRAFS). (Though, there may be slight differences.)

The following characters are allowed to indicate commentlines or are otherwise ignored. Lines are trimmed of leading whitespace before this check is made:

! (bang - exclamation point)
; (semicolon)
# (hash mark)

An AppMap "Section" is delimited with square brackets containing the name of the section. In SAFS automation parlance, these are the "Window" definition sections. A section delimiter should appear all by itself on a line. There should be no additional text. If the closing bracket is missing, the handler will graciously except the entry. The line is first trimmed before the check for a section is made.

A section identifier is not case-sensitive.

If an AppMap contains a [ApplicationConstants] section, that will be considered the "default" section. Otherwise, any first, unnamed section is the "default".

Items within a section have a NAME = VALUE format.
To the left of the Equals sign is the NAME. The substring is trimmed of leading or trailing whitespace and is not case-sensitive. Everything to the right of the Equals sign is returned unmodified. It is NOT trimmed of leading or trailing whitespace and the text is returned unmodified.

An example is below:

! this line is ignored
; this line is ignored
# this line is ignored

; the following 2 items are in an initial, unnamed section.
; these are accessible by passing a NULL or empty string when
; specifying a Section parameter.

An Item = a value
Another = another value

[A Section Name]

An Item = a value
Another = another value

[A Second Section]

An Item = a value
Another = another value

The file uses a java.io.BufferedReader for STORED memory mode, or a java.io.RandomAccessFile for MAPPED memory mode. (MAPPED mode is not yet implemented.)

Constructor Detail

SAFSAppMapFile

public SAFSAppMapFile()

This constructor will create an inoperable (Closed) file object. No use whatsoever. :)

SAFSAppMapFile

public SAFSAppMapFile(java.lang.String machine,
                      java.lang.String process,
                      int handle,
                      java.lang.String fileid,
                      java.io.File file,
                      int memorymode)

The constructor used by the SAFSAppMapReader. All subclasses MUST invoke this constructor prior to completing their initialization.
Invoke this constructor from the subclass with:

super(machine, process, handle, fileid, file);

Parameters:

machine - The STAF machine that requested this file be opened.

process - The STAF process that requested this file be opened.

handle - The STAF process handle that requested this file be opened.

fileid - A unique String ID to identify this file for the requesting process. This is not a filename. Multiple open views of the same file could be opened and each should have a unique fileid within the process namespace. However, there is probably little value in multiple views unless MAPPED memory mode is used.

file - A valid File object for the file to be opened.

memorymode - the memory model for this handler to use: STORED or MAPPED. Currently only the STORED model is used.

Method Detail

Returns:

the value of the machine constructor parameter

getProcess

public java.lang.String getProcess()

the value of the process constructor parameter

getFileID

public java.lang.String getFileID()

Subclasses should not need to override this function.

Returns:

the value of the fileid constructor parameter

getHandle

public int getHandle()

Subclasses should not need to override this function.

Returns:

the value of the handle constructor parameter
