public class STAFProcessContainerDriver
extends AbstractDriver

An implementation of AbstractDriver for use by STAFProcessContainer.

This class is intended to be used by STAFProcessContainer, but may be useful as a generic "driver" that can initialize and then shutdown tools needed by a SAFS-like Driver that is NOT necessarily running tests.

Sample Usage:

STAFProcessContainerDriver driver = new STAFProcessContainerDriver();
...
driver.initializeDriver();
...do stuff...
driver.shutdownDriver();

Command-line Options and Configuration File Options are linked below.

The default name of configuration files is "SAFSTID.INI". There is a hierarchy of configuration files that will be sought based on command-line parameters provided. This hierarchy is summarized in the Configuration File Options doc linked below and detailed below:

1. -Dsafs.project.config=c:\SAFSProject\ProcessContainer.INI
   command-line specified PROJECT config file
   a uniquely named config file, other than "SAFSTID.INI", containing config information intended to override settings in the default PROJECT config file located in the PROJECT ROOT directory.

2. default PROJECT config file
   "SAFSTID.INI" located in the PROJECT ROOT directory. The PROJECT ROOT would normally be provided as a command-line parameter. It may instead be provided in the previous specified UNIQUE config file. This file will normally contain settings specific to an entire project and these override any similar settings in the DRIVER config files.

3. command-line specified DRIVER config file
   Rarely used. A uniquely named config file, other than "SAFSTID.INI", intended to override settings in any SAFSTID.INI file located in the DRIVER ROOT directory.

4. default DRIVER config file
   SAFSTID.INI located in the DRIVER ROOT directory. The DRIVER ROOT would normally be provided in a previous config file or as a command-line parameter. This config file will contain the bulk of the configuration information that is specific to the driver and independent of any project or test being executed.

In general, you want to provide the bare minimum of command-line parameters and place all remaining info in one or more configuration files. The total of all command-line parameters and config file information must enable the driver to locate valid driver and project root directories, project subdirectories, and all other items necessary to find and configure tools. See the #initializeDriver() link below for all the neat things the driver will do during initialization!

An example invocation, providing the bare minimum command-line parameters:

java -Dsafs.project.config=c:\SAFSProject\ProcessContainer.INI SomeProcessContainerImplementation

This then expects ProcessContainer.INI to contain the information concerning which engines to run, and where the PROJECT ROOT and maybe the DRIVER ROOT directories are located. The remaining configuration information can reside in SAFSTID.INI files located in these directories.

Sample ProcessContainer.INI in c:\SAFSProject:

 [SAFS_PROJECT]
 ProjectRoot="C:\safsproject"

 [SAFS_ENGINES]
 First=org.safs.tools.engines.SAFSSELENIUM
 
 [SAFS_SELENIUM]
 AUTOLAUNCH=TRUE;
 

Sample SAFSTID.INI in c:\SAFSProject used by 2default:

 [SAFS_DRIVER]
 DriverRoot="C:\safs"
 
 [SAFS_MAPS]
 AUTOLAUNCH=TRUE
 
 [SAFS_INPUT]
 AUTOLAUNCH=TRUE
 
 [SAFS_VARS]
 AUTOLAUNCH=TRUE
 
 [SAFS_LOGS]
 AUTOLAUNCH=TRUE
 

And that is enough for the driver to configure the environment.

Of course, more of the configuration parameters necessary for desired engines will have to be in those configuration files once the engines actually become available.

Constructor Detail

STAFProcessContainerDriver

public STAFProcessContainerDriver()

Default Constructor used by STAFProcessContainer.

Once instantiated, the user must still call initializeDriver() to commence complete initialization of the driver and configured tools for use.

Once the user is finished with all driver functionality and tools the user must call shutdownDriver() to shutdown all configured tools and the driver itself.

Sample Usage:

STAFProcessContainerDriver driver = new STAFProcessContainerDriver();
...
driver.initializeDriver();
...do stuff...
driver.shutdownDriver();

Attempts to dynamically create a newInstance of a GenericToolsInterface object. The process first tries to locate the fully qualified name of the Class through the ConfigureInterface using the provided configSection name and the value of "Item" in that config section. Example below shows a config file containing a section called "ToolHelper":

[ToolHelper]
Item="My.Generic.Tools.Interface.Helper"

If no such section exists in config, or no "Item" value is found, then the routine will attempt to instantiate the defaultInterface provided.

Parameters:

String - configSection -- Named section of configuration file(s) potentially containing the Name=Value pair of Item=My.Full.Classname.

String - defaultInterface -- fully qualified classname of class to instantiate if no config file information is found.

Throws:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException, - java.lang.IllegalAccessException, java.lang.InstantiationException

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

java.lang.IllegalAccessException

java.lang.InstantiationException

See Also:

Class.forName(String)

initializeRuntimeInterface

protected void initializeRuntimeInterface()

Initialize all the Driver/Engine interfaces as specified by the config files or driver defaults. This driver passes itself (a DriverInterface) to all Configurable tools it instances.

Calls:
• input.launchInterface(this)
• maps.launchInterface(this)
• vars.launchInterface(this)
• logs.launchInterface(this)
• counts.launchInterface(this)

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if problems arise during initialization.

initializeRuntimeEngines

protected void initializeRuntimeEngines()

Instantiate and initialize any EngineInterface classes (up to 10)listed in the SAFS_ENGINE section of the Configuration Source.

Also instantiates internal tools.engines.TIDDriverCommands in-process support.

This driver passes itself--a DriverInterface object--to each instanced engine.

See Also:

org.safs.tools.engines.TIDDriverCommands(DriverInterface)

initializePresetVariables

protected void initializePresetVariables()

Initialize any preset variables such as known project directories, etc.

Known preset variables are:

• "SAFSPROJECTDIRECTORY" -- Root project directory: "C:\MyProject"
• "SAFSDATAPOOLDIRECTORY" -- Project Datapool directory: "C:\MyProject\Datapool"
• "SAFSBENCHDIRECTORY" -- Project Bench directory: "C:\MyProject\Datapool\Bench"
• "SAFSTESTDIRECTORY" -- Project Test\Actual directory: "C:\MyProject\Datapool\Test"
• "SAFSDIFDIRECTORY" -- Project Dif directory: "C:\MyProject\Datapool\Dif"
• "SAFSLOGSDIRECTORY" -- Project Logs directory: "C:\MyProject\Datapool\Logs"
• "SAFSSYSTEMUSERID" -- UserID of the person\account logged onto the system.

shutdownRuntimeEngines

protected void shutdownRuntimeEngines()

shutdown any engines started with initializeRuntimeEngines()

shutdownRuntimeInterface

protected void shutdownRuntimeInterface()

shutdown GenericToolsInterfaces started with initializeRuntimeInterfaces()

Calls:
• input.shutdown()
• vars.shutdown()
• maps.shutdown()
• counts.shutdown()
• logs.shutdown()

processTest

protected StatusInterface processTest()

We do nothing here but return a newly initialized (empty) StatusInfo object. Required to extend AbstractDriver.

Specified by:

processTest in class AbstractDriver

See Also:

AbstractDriver.processTest(), org.safs.tools.status.StatusInfo()

initializeDriver

public void initializeDriver()

Bootstrap a newly instanced driver. The routine calls all the other routines to prepare the driver and configure tools.

This routine must be overridden by subclasses if they wish to change default start-to-finish execution flow.

The model for overall driver operation is that any command-line arguments or configuration file arguments that prevent normal execution will generate an IllegalArgumentException. Those IllegalArgumentExceptions are caught here and sent to stderr output and then rethrown. Any Exception will invoke shutdownDriver(). We immediately return from this function.

Calls:
• #validateRootConfigureParameters()
• initializeRuntimeInterface()
• initializeRuntimeEngines()

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

See Also:

shutdownDriver()

shutdownDriver

public void shutdownDriver()

Calls:
• shutdownRuntimeEngines()
• shutdownRuntimeInterface()
