public interface ReporterManager extends ProvidingManager<Reporter>
Reporter objects are obtained from a ReporterManager, which in turn is generally located from the InstanceManager. A typical call sequence might be:
Reporter device = InstanceManager.getDefault(jmri.ReporterManager.class).newReporter("23",null);
Each Reporter has a two names. The "user" name is entirely free form, and can be used for any purpose. The "system" name is provided by the system-specific implementations, and provides a unique mapping to the layout control system (for example LocoNet or NCE) and address within that system.
Much of the book-keeping is implemented in the AbstractReporterManager class, which can form the basis for a system-specific implementation.

Method Details
-
provideReporter
Locate via user name, then system name if needed. If that fails, create a new Reporter. If the name is a valid system name, it will be used for the new Reporter. Otherwise, the makeSystemName method will attempt to turn it into a valid system name.This provides the same function as
ProvidingManager.provide(java.lang.String)
which has a more generic form.- Parameters:
name
- User name, system name, or address which can be promoted to system name- Returns:
- Never null
- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- if Reporter doesn't already exist and the manager cannot create the Reporter due to an illegal name or name that can't be parsed.
-
provide
Get an existing instance via user name, then system name; if no matching instance is found, create a new NameBean from the system name.If the name is a valid system name, it will be used for the new NamedBean. Otherwise, the
Manager.makeSystemName(java.lang.String)
method will attempt to turn it into a valid system name which the manager will attempt to use. If that fails, an exception is thrown.This is similar to the specific methods found in certain type-specific managers:
TurnoutManager.provideTurnout(java.lang.String)
,SensorManager.provideSensor(java.lang.String)
, et al. Those might be more mnemonic; this one is more generic. Neither is preferred nor deprecated; use your choice.- Specified by:
provide
in interfaceProvidingManager<Reporter>
- Parameters:
name
- User name, system name, or address which can be promoted to system name- Returns:
- Never null
- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- if NamedBean doesn't already exist and the manager cannot create it due to an illegal name or name that can't be parsed.
-
getReporter
Locate via user name, then system name if needed. If that fails, return null- Parameters:
name
- User name or system name to match- Returns:
- null if no match found
-
getBySystemName
Locate an instance based on a system name. Returns null if no instance already exists.- Specified by:
getBySystemName
in interfaceManager<Reporter>
- Parameters:
systemName
- the system name to locate- Returns:
- requested Reporter object or null if none exists
-
getByUserName
Locate an instance based on a user name. Returns null if no instance already exists.- Specified by:
getByUserName
in interfaceManager<Reporter>
- Parameters:
userName
- the user name to locate- Returns:
- requested Reporter object or null if none exists
-
getByDisplayName
Locate an instance based on a user name, or if that fails, by system name. Returns null if no instance already exists.- Parameters:
userName
- the name to locate- Returns:
- requested Reporter object or null if none exists
-
newReporter
Return an instance with the specified system and user names. Note that two calls with the same arguments will get the same instance; there is only one Reporter object representing a given physical Reporter and therefore only one with a specific system or user name.This will always return a valid object reference; a new object will be created if necessary. In that case:
- If a null reference is given for user name, no user name will be associated with the Reporter object created; a valid system name must be provided
- If both names are provided, the system name defines the hardware access of the desired Reporter, and the user address is associated with it. The system name must be valid.
- Parameters:
systemName
- the system nameuserName
- the user name- Returns:
- requested Reporter object (never null)
- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- if cannot create the Reporter due to an illegal name or name that can't be parsed.
-
allowMultipleAdditions
Determine if it is possible to add a range of reporters in numerical order.- Parameters:
systemName
- the system name- Returns:
- true if multiple reporters can be added
-
getNextValidAddress
@Deprecated String getNextValidAddress(@Nonnull String curAddress, @Nonnull String prefix) throws JmriExceptionDeprecated.since 4.21.3; use #getNextValidAddress(String, String, boolean) instead.Determine if the address supplied is valid and free, if not then it shall return the next free valid address up to a maximum of 10 addresses away from the initial address.- Parameters:
prefix
- system prefix used to make up the systemNamecurAddress
- hardware address of the turnout to check- Returns:
- the next available address
- Throws:
JmriException
- if unable to create a system name for the given address, possibly due to invalid address format or no free addresses 10 away.
-
getNextValidAddress
@Nonnull String getNextValidAddress(@Nonnull String curAddress, @Nonnull String prefix, boolean ignoreInitialExisting) throws JmriExceptionGet the Next valid Reporter address.- Parameters:
curAddress
- the starting hardware address to get the next valid from.prefix
- system prefix, just system name, not type letter.ignoreInitialExisting
- false to return the starting address if it does not exist, else true to force an increment.- Returns:
- the next valid system name not already in use, excluding both system name prefix and type letter.
- Throws:
JmriException
- if unable to get the current / next address, or more than 10 next addresses in use.
-
createSystemName
@Nonnull String createSystemName(@Nonnull String curAddress, @Nonnull String prefix) throws JmriExceptionGet a system name for a given hardware address and system prefix.- Parameters:
curAddress
- desired hardware addressprefix
- system prefix used in system name, excluding Bean type-letter..- Returns:
- the complete Reporter system name for the prefix and current address

-
getEntryToolTip
Get a manager-specific tool tip for adding an entry to the manager.- Specified by:
getEntryToolTip
in interfaceManager<Reporter>
- Returns:
- the tool tip or null to disable the tool tip
