Method Detail

getInputOutputIndexes

int[] getInputOutputIndexes()

The indexes of the inputs which will be modified directly by filter(Object[]).

Returns:

indexes of the inputs which will be modified directly by filter(Object[])

filter(Object[])

filter

java.lang.Object[] filter(java.lang.Object[] inputs)

Performs the operation directly on the input/output arguments. The inputs accepted by this method have to be of the same number, type and semantics as the inputs for Operation.perform(Object[]). The outputs produced by this method have to be of the same number, type and semantics as the outputs from Operation.perform(Object[]). Since some inputs may serve as outputs, they have to be included in the array with outputs.

Parameters:

inputs - inputs to the operation (must conform to the types described in Operation.getTypeOfInputs())

Returns:

outputs of the operation (must conform to the types described in Operation.getTypeOfOutputs()). The inputs which were modified have to appear in the array of outputs.
