Method Detail

upcast

public Stream<T> upcast(Stream<T> intermediateRepresentations)

Description copied from interface: Upcaster

Apply this upcaster to a stream of intermediateRepresentations and return the altered stream.

To upcast an object an upcaster should apply a mapping function to the input stream (Stream.map(Function)). To remove an object from the stream the upcaster should filter the input stream (Stream.filter(Predicate)). To split an input object into more than one objects use Stream.flatMap(Function).

In some cases the upcasting result of an Upcaster may depend on more than one input object. In that case an Upcaster may store state in the method during upcasting or even read ahead in the stream.

Specified by:

upcast in interface Upcaster<T>

Parameters:

intermediateRepresentations - The input stream of representations of objects

Returns:

the output stream of representations after applying the upcast function

canUpcast

protected abstract boolean canUpcast(T intermediateRepresentation)

Checks if this upcaster can upcast the given intermediateRepresentation. If the upcaster cannot upcast the representation the doUpcast(Object) is not invoked.

Parameters:

intermediateRepresentation - the intermediate object representation to upcast

Returns:

true if the representation can be upcast, false otherwise

doUpcast

protected abstract T doUpcast(T intermediateRepresentation)

Upcasts the given intermediateRepresentation. This method is only invoked if canUpcast(Object) returned true for the given representation.

Note that the returned representation should not be null. To remove an intermediateRepresentation add a filter to the input stream.

Parameters:

intermediateRepresentation - the representation of the object to upcast

Returns:

the upcasted representation
