All Implemented Interfaces:

DataPipe, IDataSink

public class CastToGroup
extends DataProcessor

A DataProcessor that effectively wraps a Data instance into a DataGroup. Has no effect if input Data is already a DataGroup.

A new instance of the input Data is wrapped in the output DataGroup, and the processData method copies the input values to those in the copy.

processDataInfo

protected IDataInfo processDataInfo(IDataInfo inputDataInfo)

Specified by:

processDataInfo in class DataProcessor

Parameters:

inputDataInfo - the DataInfo of the Data that will be input to this DataProcessor

Returns:

the DataInfo of the Data that will be output by this DataProcessor

processData

protected IData processData(IData data)

Processes the input Data to update the output DataGroup. If the input is a DataGroup, is is simply returned; otherwise it values are copied to the wrapped Data, and the wrapping DataGroup is returned.

Specified by:

Parameters:

data - a Data instance of the type indicated by the DataInfo at the most recent call to processDataInfo

Returns:

a DataGroup holding the values from given Data
