Method Detail

addParseOperation

void addParseOperation(java.lang.String dataType,
                       java.lang.Class HostClass,
                       java.lang.Object HostObject)

Parameters:

dataType - The type of object that the operation reads/parses

HostClass - The class of the object where the operation is hosted

HostObject - The object where the operation is hosted

removeParseOperation

void removeParseOperation(java.lang.String dataType)

Remove a deployed parsing operation.

Parameters:

dataType - The type of object that the operation reads/parses

addFunction

void addFunction(java.lang.String functionName,
                 java.lang.Class HostClass,
                 java.lang.Object HostObject)

removeFunction

void removeFunction(java.lang.String functionName)

inspectParseOperations
