Method Detail

put

void put(String objectName)
  throws DataCachePutException

Sets the flags for the specified object to STORE_IN_CACHE and PUBLISH_TO_PEERS. If an object with the specified object name does not exist in the Transformer's cache, then a new object will be created with that name, and with the STORE_IN_CACHE and PUBLISH_TO_PEERS flags set.

Calling this method is equivalent to calling put(objectName, STORE_IN_CACHE|PUBLISH_TO_PEERS).

Parameters:

objectName - The name of the object. This must be an exact object name - it cannot be an object name pattern.

Throws:

DataCachePutException - Thrown if the put failed.

put

void put(String objectName,
         int flags)
  throws DataCachePutException

Updates the flags for the specified object. If an object with the specified name does not exist in the Transformer's cache, then a new object will be created with that name and the specified flags.

The possible flags are:

• TransformerFlags.NO_FLAGS
• TransformerFlags.STORE_IN_CACHE
• TransformerFlags.PUBLISH_TO_PEERS
• TransformerFlags.NO_PERSISTENCE
• TransformerFlags.SILENT_SEND

Parameters:

objectName - The name of the object. This must be an exact object name - it cannot be an object name pattern.

flags - The flags the object is going to have set.

Throws:

DataCachePutException - Thrown if the put failed.

NullPointerException - If the objectName argument is null.

get

TransformerData get(String objectName)

Gets the data cached within the Transformer core for the specified object name.

Parameters:

objectName - The name of the object. This must be an exact object name - it cannot be an object name pattern.

Returns:

The TransformerData that represents the data that is cached for the specified object name, or null if an object with that name was not found in the cache.

Throws:

NullPointerException - If the objectName argument is null.

getLastUpdateTime

long getLastUpdateTime(String objectName)

Gets the time the last update was received by the Transformer core for the specified object name.

Parameters:

objectName - The name of the object. This must be an exact object name - it cannot be an object name pattern.

Returns:

The time the last update for the specified object name was received by the Transformer core. This is represented as the number of seconds since 1st January 1970, 00:00:00. TIME_UNAVAILABLE will be returned if the object does not exist.

Throws:

NullPointerException - If the objectName argument is null.

getType2

TransformerData getType2(String objectName,
                         String type2Index)

Gets the type 2 data cached within the Transformer core for the specified object name and type 2 index.

The table below shows some sample type 2 data that may be cached for the object /LO/CAPLIN. In this case, the MarketMakerId field contains the type 2 indices. To get the data for the MarketMaker GBN, the Transformer module should call getType2("/LO/CAPLIN", "GBN").

MarketMakerId	BidSize	Bid	Ask	AskSize
BRC	1000	52 1/2	54	750
GBN	500	53	54	1000
TLT	1000	53	53 3/4	1000

Parameters:

objectName - The name of the object. This must be an exact object name - it cannot be an object name pattern.

type2Index - The index for the type 2 data that is required.

Returns:

The type 2 data of the specified object and type 2 index, or null if the data is not found in the cache. If null is returned, it could be because the object was not found in the cache, or because the object did not have any type 2 data for specified index.

Throws:

NullPointerException - If either the objectName or type2Index arguments are null.

getType2Indices

String[] getType2Indices(String objectName)

Gets a list of type 2 indices that are available from the Transformer core cache for the specified object name.

The table below shows some sample type 2 data that may be cached for the object /LO/CAPLIN. In this case, the MarketMakerId field contains the type 2 indices. If the Transformer module calls getType2Indices("/LO/CAPLIN"), an array containing "BRC", "GBN" and "TLT" will be returned.

MarketMakerId	BidSize	Bid	Ask	AskSize
BRC	1000	52 1/2	54	750
GBN	500	53	54	1000
TLT	1000	53	53 3/4	1000

Parameters:

objectName - The name of the object. This must be an exact object name - it cannot be an object name pattern.

Returns:

An array of the type 2 indices for the specified object, or an empty array null if the data is not found in the cache. If an empty array is returned, it could be because the object was not found in the cache, or because the object did not contain any type 2 data.

Throws:

NullPointerException - If the objectName argument is null.

getPermission

TransformerData getPermission(String objectName,
                              String key)

Parameters:

objectName - The name of the object. This must be an exact object name - it cannot be an object name pattern.

key - The key for the permission data that is required.

Returns:

The permission data of the specified object and key, or null if the data is not found in the cache. If null is returned, it could be because the object was not found in the cache, or because the object did not have any permission data for specified index.

Throws:

NullPointerException - If either the objectName or key arguments are null.

getPermissionKeys

String[] getPermissionKeys(String objectName)

Gets a list of permission keys that are available from the Transformer core cache for the specified object name.

See getType2Indices for structure information. Permission objects have the same structure as type 2 records.

Parameters:

objectName - The name of the object. This must be an exact object name - it cannot be an object name pattern.

Returns:

An array of the permission keys for the specified object, or an empty array if the data is not found in the cache. If an empty array is returned, it could be because the object was not found in the cache, or because the object did not contain any permission data.

Parameters:

objectName - The name of the object. This must be an exact object name - it cannot be an object name pattern.

fieldName - The name of the field.

Returns:

The current value from the cache for the specified object and field names, or null if the value is not found. If null is returned, it could be because the object was not found in the cache, or because the object does not contain the specified field.

Throws:

NullPointerException - If either the objectName of fieldName arguments are null.

getField

String getField(String objectName,
                int fieldNumber)

Gets the latest value from the Transformer core for the specified object name and field number.

Parameters:

objectName - The name of the object. This must be an exact object name - it cannot be object name pattern.

fieldNumber - The field number.

Returns:

The current value from the cache for the specified object name and field number, or null if the value is not found. If null is returned, it could be because the object was not found in the cache, or because the object does not contain the specified field.

Throws:

NullPointerException - If the objectName argument is null.

getType3Field

String[] getType3Field(String objectName,
                       int fieldNumber)

Gets an array of values for the specified object name and type 3 field number. The array is in chronological order, with the most recent value at the start, and the oldest value at the end.

The table below shows some sample type 3 data that may be cached for the object /LO/CAPLIN. In this case, the TradePrice, TradeTime and TradeVolume fields are all type 3 fields. If the TradePrice field number is 18, then if the Transformer module calls getType3Field("/LO/CAPLIN", 18), an array containing "53 3/4", "54 1/2", "54 1/4". "54" and "53 1/2" will be returned.

TradePrice	TradeTime	TradeVolume
