Class NumberGenerator

Object

NumberGenerator

All Implemented Interfaces:

RuleAlgorithm

public class NumberGenerator
extends Object
implements RuleAlgorithm

a number generator class for use with OIRs adding extra functionality. it runs its args thru "normal" EnterpriseHelper.getNumber(args) first, then

• replace {DATE:date-format} according to SimpleDateFormat rules with current date.
• replace {TASK:/name/of/task.xml} with the resulting group's first element's first number att.
  the group must return getSuccess() OK or otherwise contain an exception-object.
• replace {METHOD:full.class.Name:methodName} with the with the method call's String result
  the method signature is the same that calculate(...) has

use with a rule like:
<AttrValue id="number" algorithm="ext.sulis.NumberGenerator">
<Arg>{TASK:/ext/testNumber.xml}</Arg>
</AttrValue>
