Class AnnotationFlatFileImporter

All Implemented Interfaces:
AutoDetectingImporter, InteractivePlugin, Plugin, SignalTarget, ConfigureByExample

public class AnnotationFlatFileImporter extends AbstractFlatFileImporter implements InteractivePlugin, ConfigureByExample
Plug-in for importing annotations from simple text files. The plug-in supports all files that can be parsed with the FlatFileParser class. This plug-in works without a configuration but can use a configuration to store regular expressions and other settings for the flat file parser. In both cases, the job configuration is a three-step process:
  1. Setup regular expressions and other options for the flat file parser. If a configuration is used all values should already be filled in. In this step a file to import from must also be selected.
  2. Map file columns to annotation types. Annotation types that support multiple values may be mapped to more than one column.
  3. Setup error handling options and other settings for the plug-in (for example if existing annotations should be replaced or not).

    • requiresConfiguration

      public boolean requiresConfiguration()
      Description copied from class: AbstractFlatFileImporter
      Return TRUE, since the implementation requires it for finding the regular expressions used by the FlatFileParser. If this method is overridden and returns FALSE, the subclass must also override the AbstractFlatFileImporter.getInitializedFlatFileParser() method and provide a parser with all regular expressions and other options set.
      Specified by:
      requiresConfiguration in interface Plugin
      Overrides:
      requiresConfiguration in class AbstractFlatFileImporter
      Returns:
      TRUE or FALSE
    • supportsConfigurations

      public boolean supportsConfigurations()
      Description copied from class: AbstractPlugin
      Returns TRUE, since that is how the plugins used to work before this method was introduced.
      Specified by:
      supportsConfigurations in interface Plugin
      Overrides:
      supportsConfigurations in class AbstractPlugin
      Returns:
      TRUE or FALSE
    • getPermissions

      public Collection<Permissions> getPermissions()
      Request read access to File:s, read access to annotation types and write access to all annotatable items.
      Specified by:
      getPermissions in interface Plugin
      Overrides:
      getPermissions in class AbstractPlugin
      Returns:
      A collection of permissions or null to not use permissions
    • getGuiContexts

      public Set<GuiContext> getGuiContexts()
      This plug-in works in list context of all Annotatable items, except bioassay sets, bioassays and wells because they are not standalone items. We use Metadata.getAnnotatableItems() to create the contexts.
      Specified by:
      getGuiContexts in interface InteractivePlugin
      Returns:
      A Set containing Item:s, or null if the plugin is not concerned about items
    • isInContext

      public String isInContext(GuiContext context, Object item)
      Description copied from interface: InteractivePlugin
      Check if the plugin can be used on the specified object. The item is either a BasicItem or BasicData object, or null if called from a list context. A client application should only call this method for contexts matching one of the contexts in the set returned by the InteractivePlugin.getGuiContexts() method. For GuiContext.Type.ITEM contexts an item of the correct type should be passed as a parameter.

      The plug-in can response with a null value indicating success, a warning-level message or throw an exception to indicate an error-level message. Client application should normally only show error-level messages to users, unless the user has requested to see warning messages.

      NOTE! Before BASE 2.4 all messages were treated as error-level messages.

      Specified by:
      isInContext in interface InteractivePlugin
      Parameters:
      context - The current context of the client application, it is one of the values found in set returned by InteractivePlugin.getGuiContexts()
      item - The currently active item, it's type should match the GuiContext.getItem() type, or null if the context is a list context
      Returns:
      Null if the plugin can use that item, or a warning-level message explaining why the plugin can't be used

    • setUpErrorHandling

      protected void setUpErrorHandling()
      Don't use AbstractFlatFileImporter to handle errors.
      Overrides:
      setUpErrorHandling in class AbstractFlatFileImporter
    • begin

      protected void begin(FlatFileParser ffp)
      Setup error handling and pre-load some of the configuration options.
      Overrides:
      begin in class AbstractFlatFileImporter

      protected void beginData()
      Setup column mapping. Creates DbControl and query to find items.
      Overrides:
      beginData in class AbstractFlatFileImporter
    • handleData

      protected void handleData(FlatFileParser.Data data) throws BaseException
      Read annotations from a single data line. Errors are handled internally. Errors thrown from this method should be reported back to client (ie. error handling in AbstractFlatFileParser) must be disabled. This method will load items and annotation values and put them in an internal cache. No items are annotated until the entire file has been parsed.
      Specified by:
      handleData in class AbstractFlatFileImporter
      Throws:
      BaseException
    • end

      protected void end(boolean success)
      Now it's time to update the items in the cache with the new annotation values.
      Overrides:
      end in class AbstractFlatFileImporter
      Parameters:
      success - TRUE if the file was parsed successfully, FALSE otherwise
      See Also:
    • getSuccessMessage

      protected String getSuccessMessage(int skippedLines)
      Description copied from class: AbstractFlatFileImporter
      Called if the parsing was successful to let the subclass generate a simple message that is sent back to the core and user interface. An example message might by: 178 reporters imported successfully. The default implementation always return null. Note that this method is called once for every file returned by AbstractFlatFileImporter.getFileIterator().
      Overrides:
      getSuccessMessage in class AbstractFlatFileImporter
      Parameters:
      skippedLines - The number of data lines that were skipped due to errors
    • getProgress

      protected int getProgress(FlatFileParser ffp)
      Overriding default implementation since we want file parsing to only use 'progressParser'% and the remaining 'progressDatabase'% for storing to the database.
      Overrides:
      getProgress in class AbstractFlatFileImporter
      Parameters:
      ffp - The file parser that is used to parsed the file
      Returns:
      A value between 0 and 100
    • getItemListFromContext

      private ItemList getItemListFromContext(DbControl dc, GuiContext context)
