Method Details

retrieveType

static int retrieveType(String pluginKey,
 int[] sourceTypes)

Retrieves the aggregated data-type of an IMultiSourceAggregationFunction from its plugin key.

Parameters:

pluginKey - the aggregation function's plugin key

sourceTypes - the data types of the elements to be aggregated

Returns:

the type of the elements aggregated by the given aggregation function

createAggregation

IMultiSourceAggregation createAggregation(List<String> sourceIdentifiers,
 int[] sourceTypes)

Description copied from interface: IGenericAggregationFunction

Creates an IGenericAggregation that can bind a list of data structures to a single destination data structure.

The created aggregation is specialized for the given source identifiers, which can then be used to retrieve the correct source data structures to bind with a destination.

The two given collections must have the same size.

Specified by:

createAggregation in interface IGenericAggregationFunction

Parameters:

sourceIdentifiers - A way to identify the source data structures

sourceTypes - The data types of the elements to be aggregated

Returns:

the newly created aggregation, tailored for the given identifiers and types
