Method Detail

getAssemblyLine

AssemblyLine getAssemblyLine()
                             throws DIException
Returns an AssemblyLine instance.

Returns:
this AssemblyLine.
Throws:
DIException - if an error occurs while retrieving the AssemblyLine.

executeCycle

Entry executeCycle(Entry aEntry,
                   boolean aProcessTCB)
                   throws DIException
Executes an AssemblyLine cycle. If an Entry is provided then it becomes the work entry.

Parameters:
aEntry - the work entry to use, or null to use an empty work entry/iterator entry.
aProcessTCB - if true, the AL's call/return attribute maps are applied to the provided entry and returned entry.
Returns:
the work entry at the end of the cycle.
Throws:
DIException - if an error occurs while executing the AssemblyLine.

executeCycle

Entry executeCycle(Entry aEntry)
                   throws DIException
Executes an AssemblyLine cycle. If an Entry is provided then it becomes the work entry.

Parameters:
aEntry - the work entry to use, or null to use an empty work entry/iterator entry.
Returns:
the work entry at the end of the cycle.
Throws:
DIException - if an error occurs while executing the AssemblyLine.

executeCycle

Entry executeCycle()
                   throws DIException
Executes an AssemblyLine cycle with null work Entry attribute.

Returns:
the work entry at the end of the cycle
Throws:
DIException - if an error occurs while executing the AssemblyLine.

eval

Serializable eval(String script)
                  throws DIException
Evaluates the passed in as parameter script in the context of this AssemblyLine. You can access all the script beans defined in the scope of this AssemblyLine.

Parameters:
script - the script to evaluate.
Returns:
the serializable object returned by the script or null if no return statement.
Throws:
DIException - if an error occurs while evaluating the script

close

void close()
           throws DIException
Closes an AssemblyLine.

Throws:
DIException - if an error occurs while closing the AssemblyLine.
