Method Summary

RichSequence	makeRichSequence() Build a RichSequence.
Sequence	makeSequence() Return the Sequence object which has been constructed by this builder. Implementations of this for a RichSequenceBuilder should delegate to makeRichSequence() and return only RichSequence objects.

Method Detail

makeSequence

Sequence makeSequence()
                      throws BioException

Return the Sequence object which has been constructed by this builder. This method is only expected to succeed after the endSequence() notifier has been called. Implementations of this for a RichSequenceBuilder should delegate to makeRichSequence() and return only RichSequence objects.

Specified by:

makeSequence in interface SequenceBuilder

Throws:

BioException

makeRichSequence

RichSequence makeRichSequence()
                              throws BioException

Build a RichSequence.

Returns:

a RichSequence

Throws:

BioException - if it is not possible to build a RichSequence
