getValuesFromNamedResultContainer

public static Map<String,Object> getValuesFromNamedResultContainer(Object aContainer)
                                                                  throws IntrospectionException,
                                                                         IllegalArgumentException,
                                                                         IllegalAccessException,
                                                                         InvocationTargetException

Returns a map of named result names to values acquired from a given named result container. This container is assumed to be a simple Java Bean, with accessible accessor methods useable to retrieve the values of fields. The field names are used as result names and thus keys in the map. Unreachable fields are ignored.

Parameters:

aContainer - the container instance

Returns:

the map of result names to values

Throws:

IntrospectionException - the introspection exception

IllegalArgumentException - the illegal argument exception

IllegalAccessException - the illegal access exception

InvocationTargetException - the invocation target exception

getResultTypeFromNamedResultContainerType

public static Class<?> getResultTypeFromNamedResultContainerType(Class<?> aContainerType,
                                                                 String aResultName)
                                                          throws IntrospectionException

Determines the result type by looking at a result container type for a specific result name.

Parameters:

aContainerType - the container type

aResultName - the name of the result

Returns:

the result type

Throws:

IntrospectionException - the introspection exception

getVariableEntitiesForSuiteParameters

public static List<VariableEntity> getVariableEntitiesForSuiteParameters(SuiteDefinition aSuite)

Determines a list of all VariableEntitys referenced in a suites' parameter list.

Parameters:

aSuite -

Returns:
