Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
java.lang.String	getID() Gets the unique ID of the system provider as defined in the extension.
java.util.List<ISystemImage>	getRemoteSystemImages() Returns a list of remote system images, if the system provider supports AWM systems which are created from remote system connections.
java.util.List<ITaurusSystemProxy>	getSystemProxies() Gets a list of ITaurusSystemProxys.
ITaurusSystem	loadPersistedSystem(TaurusSystemPersistableProxy pPersistableProxy) Creates an ITaurusSystem from its persistable proxy representation.

Method Detail

getSystemProxies

java.util.List<ITaurusSystemProxy> getSystemProxies()
                                             throws TaurusCoreException

Gets a list of ITaurusSystemProxys.

Returns:

a list of system proxies

Throws:

TaurusCoreException - if retrieving the system proxies fails

getID

java.lang.String getID()

Gets the unique ID of the system provider as defined in the extension.

Returns:

the ID of the system provider

loadPersistedSystem

ITaurusSystem loadPersistedSystem(TaurusSystemPersistableProxy pPersistableProxy)
                           throws TaurusCoreException

Creates an ITaurusSystem from its persistable proxy representation. The persistable proxy will be created from loading the AWM system cache.

Parameters:

pPersistableProxy - the AWM system representation

Returns:

the ITaurusSystem or null if the provider cannot load a system from cache

Throws:

TaurusCoreException - if creating the AWM system failed

getRemoteSystemImages

java.util.List<ISystemImage> getRemoteSystemImages()
                                            throws TaurusCoreException

Returns a list of remote system images, if the system provider supports AWM systems which are created from remote system connections. This is used e.g. for associating local AWM systems to remote systems.

Returns:

a list of system images or null if the provider does not support any.

Throws:

TaurusCoreException - if an exception occurs during getting the list of remote system images
