Method Detail

build

public IAlgorithm build(java.lang.String uri)
                 throws SerializationException,
                        org.xml.sax.SAXException,
                        java.io.IOException

Builds an algorithm from the resource at the given URI.

Parameters:

uri - URI pointing to an algorithm description.

Returns:

algorithm built from the given description

Throws:

java.io.IOException - thrown if access to the given description fails

org.xml.sax.SAXException - thrown if the given description is invalid

SerializationException - thrown in case the deserialization of the XML document fails

build
