All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, SequenceDB, SequenceDBLite, Changeable

public class ViewingSequenceDB
extends SequenceDBWrapper

SequenceDB implementation that returns new SequenceView instances wrapping the sequences in an underlying database. One appropriate use of this would be to wrap a DB in one of these and then wrap this in an annotating db so that the annotation is added to views, not the underlying sequences.

1.2

Constructor Detail

ViewingSequenceDB

public ViewingSequenceDB(SequenceDB parent)

Create a new ViewingSequenceDB that views the sequences in parent.

Parameters:

parent - the SequenceDB to view

Method Detail

getName

public String getName()

Description copied from interface: SequenceDBLite

Get the name of this sequence database.

Returns:

the name of the sequence database, which may be null.

getSequence

public Sequence getSequence(String id)
                     throws BioException

Description copied from interface: SequenceDBLite

Retrieve a single sequence by its id.

Parameters:

id - the id to retrieve by

Returns:

the Sequence with that id

Throws:

IllegalIDException - if the database doesn't know about the id

BioException - if there was a failure in retrieving the sequence

ids

public Set ids()

Description copied from interface: SequenceDB

Get an immutable set of all of the IDs in the database. The ids are legal arguments to getSequence.

Returns:

a Set of ids - at the moment, strings
