public interface AbstractReader<T>
extends AbstractHandler

Basic interface for readers in PULsE.

Provides the read capability, which handles an external file and attempts to read its content to translate it into the T internal structure. The internal structure of T formed by a set of properties, accessibles, and property holders, is assumed to be immutable. The size of lists, arrays and containers may (and usually will) change as a result of using the reader.

Method Detail

read

T read(File f)
throws IOException

Parameters:

f - a file which has readable content

Returns:

a T object created by reading all information from f.

Throws:

IOException
