public interface IOObject

This interface must be implemented by all objects that can be input/output objects for Operators. The copy method is necessary in cases where meta operator chains want to copy the input IOContainer before it is given to the children operators. Please note that the method only need to be implemented like a usual clone method for IO objects which can be altered after creation. In all other cases the implementation can simply return the same object. Hence, we use the name copy instead of clone.

Method Summary

IOObject	copy() Should return a copy of this IOObject.
void	write(java.io.File file) Writes the object data into a file.
void	write(java.io.OutputStream out) Writes the object data into a stream.

Method Detail

copy

IOObject copy()

Should return a copy of this IOObject. Please note that the method can usually be implemented by simply returning the same object (i.e. return this;). The object needs only to be cloned in cases the IOObject can be altered after creation. This is for example the case for ExampleSets.

write

void write(java.io.File file)
           throws java.io.IOException

Writes the object data into a file.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

write

void write(java.io.OutputStream out)
           throws java.io.IOException

Writes the object data into a stream.

Throws:

java.io.IOException
