Remarks

The DisplayName is the name for the evaluator that will be displayed in the Type column of the Evaluators dialog in ArcCatalog.

Specified by:

getDisplayName in interface INetworkEvaluator

Returns:

The pDisplayName

Throws:

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

java.io.IOException - If there are interop problems.

isCacheAttribute

public boolean isCacheAttribute()
                         throws java.io.IOException,
                                AutomationException

Description copied from interface: INetworkEvaluator

Indicates if this evaluator's values should be computed and stored when the network is built or computed at run time and never stored.

Remarks

The CacheAttribute property determines whether the values computed by this evaluator are stored in the logical network of the network dataset.

If the CacheAttribute property is set to True, then the attribute values are computed by the evaluator only when the network is built. The computed attribute values are then stored in the logical network. When a client queries for attribute values (such as during a network analysis), the attribute values are retrieved from the logical network.

If the CacheAttribute property is set to False, then the attribute values are computed by the evaluator whenever any client asks for an attribute value (such as during a network analysis). The computed attribute values are not stored in the logical network. Depending on the complexity of the evaluator, this operation can be much slower than looking up values stored in the logical network.

Specified by:

isCacheAttribute in interface INetworkEvaluator

Returns:

The cache

Throws:

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

java.io.IOException - If there are interop problems.

getRequiredFieldNames

public IStringArray getRequiredFieldNames()
                                   throws java.io.IOException,
                                          AutomationException

Description copied from interface: INetworkEvaluator2

Required fields of this network evaluator.

Remarks

RequiredFieldNames returns the field names that the evaluator requires in order to correctly evaluate the row. This property is used to minimize the data that is returned by the query to the database by only returning the required fields. Return a NULL pointer if you want it to include all the field names in the query.

Specified by:

getRequiredFieldNames in interface INetworkEvaluator2

Returns:

A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.system.IStringArray

Throws:

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

java.io.IOException - If there are interop problems.

             throws java.io.IOException,
                    AutomationException

Description copied from interface: INetworkEvaluator2

.

Remarks

The Refresh method is an opportunity to update any internal state within the evaluator based on changes to parameters, dynamic data feeds, etc. The Refresh method is called on every evaluator assigned to a network attribute when INetworkAttribute2::Refresh() is called. For example, this is called internally during a solve operation after setting the network attribute parameters and prior to performing the actual solve.

Specified by:

refresh in interface INetworkEvaluator2

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

                                  throws java.io.IOException,
                                         AutomationException

Description copied from interface: INetworkConstantEvaluator

Value returned by the network evaluator for all elements of the network.

Remarks

Specified by:

getConstantValue in interface INetworkConstantEvaluator

Returns:

A Variant

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

initialize

public void initialize(INetworkDataset networkDataset,
                       IDENetworkDataset dataElement,
                       INetworkSource source,
                       IEvaluatedNetworkAttribute attribute)
                throws java.io.IOException,
                       AutomationException

Description copied from interface: INetworkEvaluatorSetup

Initializes the network evaluator in preparation to evaluate the attribute value of a network element.

Remarks

The Initialize method does all the "heavy lifting" needed to prepare the evaluator for a call to QueryValue, a lightweight method for querying the attribute value for a network element. Once the evaluator is initialized, the client can make multiple calls to this lightweight QueryValue for calculating the attribute values of multiple network elements.

When querying for attribute values in the network dataset ArcGIS calls the Initialize method immediately after it instantiates the evaluator. For evaluators with CacheAttribute = True, this occurs when building the network dataset. For evaluators with CacheAttribute = False, this occurs on the first call in the session to INetworkElement::AttributeValue or ::AttributeValueByName that requires this evaluator to determine the attribute value.

Specified by:

initialize in interface INetworkEvaluatorSetup

Parameters:

networkDataset - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.INetworkDataset (in)

dataElement - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IDENetworkDataset (in)

source - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.INetworkSource (in)

attribute - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IEvaluatedNetworkAttribute (in)

public void setData(IPropertySet data)
             throws java.io.IOException,
                    AutomationException

Description copied from interface: INetworkEvaluatorSetup

The data used by this network evaluator for custom properties.

Specified by:

setData in interface INetworkEvaluatorSetup

Parameters:

data - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.system.IPropertySet (in)

Throws:

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

java.io.IOException - If there are interop problems.

getData

public IPropertySet getData()
                     throws java.io.IOException,
                            AutomationException

Description copied from interface: INetworkEvaluatorSetup

The data used by this network evaluator for custom properties.

Remarks

The Data property stores data that is needed by the evaluator. It is stored in a PropertySet object using key-value pairs.

Specified by:

getData in interface INetworkEvaluatorSetup

Returns:

A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.system.IPropertySet

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

isDataHasEdits

public boolean isDataHasEdits()
                       throws java.io.IOException,
                              AutomationException

Description copied from interface: INetworkEvaluatorSetup

Indicates if the data for this evaluator has been edited.

Remarks

The DataHasEdits property indicates whether changes have been made to the Data PropertySet that have not yet been handled by the evaluator's internal logic. This is useful in determining whether the evaluator needs to be re-Initialized before making additional calls to QueryValue.

This property is only used when modifying the network dataset's evaluators via objects like the EvaluatorEditor to signify the network dataset may need to be rebuilt/reinitialized. This property is not queried prior to network analysis to determine if the evaluator needs to be re-initialized. Thus, it is not a mechanism to trigger that the evaluators need to be re-initialized based on new data between solves.

Specified by:

isDataHasEdits in interface INetworkEvaluatorSetup

Returns:

The hasEdits

Throws:

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

java.io.IOException - If there are interop problems.
