Class LSPModule

java.lang.Object

localsolver.modeler.LSPModule

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.AutoCloseable

public class LSPModule
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.AutoCloseable

A module is a collection of global variables. As LSP is a dynamically typed language, global variables can contain any value (including functions and other modules). Each LSP file is a module. Global variables can be modified and accessed by their name specified as a string. Most of the functions below exist in multiple versions: values of the global variables can be manipulated through their native type (like int, float, String, LSPMap, LSPFunction...) or manipulated with an LSPValue which is a container that can hold any type of value. Using the native type is more convenient and results in less overhead most of the time. LSPValue should only be used when you don't know the type of the manipulated value.

Method Detail

close

public void close()

Releases the reference. If this module was already released, returns immediately and does nothing. Invoking any method on this object after this operation will throw an exception.

Note: Releasing a reference does not necessarily imply that the underlying module object is destroyed. It is only destroyed if no more references point to it.

run

public void run(LocalSolver solver,
                java.lang.Iterable<java.lang.String> arguments)

Starts the execution of the module using the solver passed in parameter. Such execution is defined by the following steps:

• The input function is executed if it exists in the module.
• The model function is executed. It must be declared in the module.
• The LSModel is then closed.
• The param function is executed if it exists in the module.
• The function LocalSolver.solve() is called on the corresponding solver instance. If the display function is defined, it will be called during the resolution process.
• The output function is executed if it exists in the module.

Note that the solver used as a parameter must have been created by the LSPModeler.createSolver() method.

If arguments are given, each of them must be of the form argName=argValue. Each argument is then parsed and exposed as a new global variable in the module with argName as the name of the variable and argValue as its value. The format followed by the arguments is exactly the same as in the LocalSolver command line. For more information about the format of the LocalSolver command line you can read the command line section in the LSP reference guide.

Parameters:

solver - Instance on which modeling and optimization is performed.

arguments - List of arguments to parse and expose as global variables.

run

public void run(LocalSolver solver,
                java.lang.String... arguments)

Starts the execution of the module using the solver passed in parameter. Such execution is defined by the following steps:

• The input function is executed if it exists in the module.
• The model function is executed. It must be declared in the module.
• The LSModel is then closed.
• The param function is executed if it exists in the module.
• The function LocalSolver.solve() is called on the corresponding solver instance. If the display function is defined, it will be called during the resolution process.
• The output function is executed if it exists in the module.

Note that the solver used as a parameter must have been created by the LSPModeler.createSolver() method.

If arguments are given, each of them must be of the form argName=argValue. Each argument is then parsed and exposed as a new global variable in the module with argName as the name of the variable and argValue as its value. The format followed by the arguments is exactly the same as in the LocalSolver command line. For more information about the format of the LocalSolver command line you can read the command line section in the LSP reference guide.

Parameters:

solver - Instance on which modeling and optimization is performed.

arguments - List of arguments to parse and expose as global variables.

runMain

public void runMain(java.lang.Iterable<java.lang.String> arguments)

Runs the module in main mode. In this mode, the modeler behaves like a classical programming language. Therefore, the call sequence is free: you only need to implement a main method which will be the only one invoked by the modeler.

Unlike the optimization mode, the main mode requires you to manually create the solver instances, close your models and launch the resolutions directly in your LSP files. For this you can rely on the builtin module localsolver. In return, you are free to run several successive resolutions or none at all if you just want to use LSP for its pure programming features.

The arguments specified when calling this method are copied as is (as strings, without parsing) into a LSP map that is passed as the first argument to the main function of your LSP file. If the main function of your LSP does not accept any arguments, the parameter arguments is simply ignored.

For more details on the differences between the optimization and the main mode, read the main mode section of the LSP reference guide.

Parameters:

arguments - List of arguments to copy into a map and pass to the main function.

runMain

public void runMain(java.lang.String... arguments)
