Method Detail

createServiceProfile

public static final ServiceProfile createServiceProfile(String serviceClassURI,
                                                        String vendor,
                                                        String description,
                                                        String startServiceURI)

Creates and returns an appropriate ServiceProfile for a UI service. This service is called from the main menu when the UI service is selected. Typically, the UI service that registers this ServiceProfile will then send a UI request to present the main dialog of the UI service.

Parameters:

serviceClassURI - the URI of the service class from an underlying ontology, e.g. the value of Lighting.MY_URI from the lighting example.

vendor - the URL of the partner home page that provides the UI e.g. "http://www.igd.fraunhofer.de"

description - describes what the service does, e.g. "The main screen of a lighting service component by Fraunhofer-IGD that allows human users to view and change the states of light sources found on a connected KNX bus. Special visualization techniques, such as usage of 3D scenes and moving the camera from the current viewpoint of the user all the way towards the location of a currently selected light source, lead to a unique user experience in controlling light sources."

startServiceURI - a URI identifying this service. When the UI service is called, i.e. when the method ServiceCallee.handleCall(ServiceCall) is called, the ServiceCall will have this URI as process URI and can be retrieved by calling ServiceCall.getProcessURI().

Returns:

The created service profile that can be used to register the UI service at the service bus.

createServiceProfile

protected static ServiceProfile createServiceProfile(UserInterfaceService uis,
                                                     String serviceClassURI,
                                                     String vendor,
                                                     String description,
                                                     String startServiceURI)

Same method with different arguments. This time a User Interface Service will be required to create a service profile for a UI.

Returns:

The created service profile that can be used to register the UI service at the service bus.

getUIServiceDescription

public static final String getUIServiceDescription(String serviceClassURI,

                                                   ServiceCaller theCaller)

Parameters:

serviceClassURI - the URI of the service class from an underlying ontology, e.g. the value of Lighting.MY_URI from the lighting example.

vendor - the URL of the partner home page that provides the UI e.g. "http://www.igd.fraunhofer.de"

Returns:

The description of the service profile.

getPropSerializationType

public int getPropSerializationType(String propURI)

Description copied from class: ManagedIndividual

Answers if the given property has to be considered when serializing this individual in a minimized way, and if not ignore-able, whether its value should be presented in its full form or can be reduced. The return value must be one of Resource.PROP_SERIALIZATION_OPTIONAL, Resource.PROP_SERIALIZATION_REDUCED, or Resource.PROP_SERIALIZATION_FULL. It can be assumed that the given property is one of those returned by FinalizedResource.getPropertyURIs(). Decision criterion should be if the value of this property is absolutely necessary when this resource is being sent to a remote node. If the subclass rates it as unlikely that the receiver side would need this info, the answer should be PROP_SERIALIZATION_OPTIONAL in favor of lower communication traffic and higher performance even at risk of a possible additional query on the receiver side for fetching this info. With the same rationale, if a property should be included in the process of serialization, it is preferable to include it in a reduced form; in this case the return value should be PROP_SERIALIZATION_REDUCED, otherwise PROP_SERIALIZATION_FULL can be returned.
