All Implemented Interfaces:

Converter<DPAnalysis.DPAnalysisExecutor>

Enclosing interface:

DPAnalysis

public static class DPAnalysis.DPAnalysisConverter
extends java.lang.Object
implements Converter<DPAnalysis.DPAnalysisExecutor>

A converter that creates an DPAnalysis.DPAnalysisExecutor for the CompuWare DevPartner DPAnalysis profiling utility. This converter is registered with the terp runtime under the ^dpanalysis alias. In addition to supporting initialization from String and File, this converter has a default (null or empty map) initializer that simply looks for an installed copy of dpa and returns it.

Method Detail

fromObject

public DPAnalysis.DPAnalysisExecutor fromObject(java.lang.Object obj,
                                                TerpContext ctx)

Converts the given object into an object of the target type. Conversions can be implemented in any way that makes sense. Normally, converters will return null for null, but some converters may choose to interpret null as an indicator to return a default-initialized target object. An example of this type of conversion is the ShellExecutor. null simply indicates that no preference overrides of any kind have been provided. This converter interprets null or an empty input map as a request for the default instance of DPAnalysis.

Specified by:

fromObject in interface Converter<DPAnalysis.DPAnalysisExecutor>

Parameters:

obj - the source object.

ctx - the context in which the conversion takes place.

Returns:

an instance of the target type or null.
