public @interface SystemDataConsumer
String) to be able to read a system data element
via a node parameter. The returned string contains variables (and their
corresponding declarations) which lead to a node parameter at modelling time.
At runtime this is replaced by the value of the corresponding node parameter.
For PluginData this annotation is also placed at a method of a
plugin viewer interface. In this case the annotation does not refer to the
return value directly but to the underlying string-representation of the
value (de.aristaflow.adept2.model.common.viewer.Attribute).
Variables are surrounded and declared by the character %.
Only the types INTEGER, FLOAT and
STRING (cf.
ProcessConstants.AdeptDataType)
for variables are supported. In the declaration the symbols i
or I (for INTEGER), f or
F (for FLOAT) and s or
S (for STRING) are used. For instance
%i:var1% declares the variable var1 of type
INTEGER. Please note that there are no spaces between the
type and the name of the variable. The variable name may contain any
character, although each % must be escaped (i.e. typed twice).
The class SystemDataTools provides
some tool methods.
