Hi,
When I try to add actors to Kepler User Interface, I am facing property
duplication error. This happens whenever the PortParameter is specified.
There are similar actors in the CVS repository for example
($KEPLER/src/actors/GriddlesExec) and the files for this actor has been
developed and stored in cvs repository (GriddlesExec.xml MANIFEST.MF).
The command property has been entered only once. I wonder whether these have
been
developed by an automation process.
I followed the following steps for creating actors programmatically. Chad
also noticed a similar problem.
==============================================================
I am having duplication in property "command" when I generate kar file
programmitically.
Here is the code I used for generating actor programmitically.
================================================================================
GriddlesExec wss = null;
_actorNameStr = actorName.getExpression();
container = new EntityLibrary();
wss = new GriddlesExec(container, _actorNameStr);
File kswFile = new File("kar/actors/"+_actorNameStr+".kar");
LSIDGenerator lsidGenerator = LSIDGenerator.getInstance();
KeplerLSID lsid = lsidGenerator.getNewLSID("actor1");
NamedObjId objId = new NamedObjId(wss, "entityId");
// update the actor library
objId.setContainer(wss);
objId.setExpression(lsid.toString());
SemanticType semanticType = new SemanticType(wss, "semanticType00");
// update the actor library
semanticType.setContainer(wss);
semanticType.setExpression("urn:lsid:localhost:onto:1:1#PreConfiguredGridletActor");
KSWBuilder ksw = new KSWBuilder(wss , false , kswFile);
processKSW(kswFile);
==============================================================
I am facing one more problem here that the GriddlesExec is the subclass
standard Exec class with execution termination at the end of first loop.
The PortParameter (command) of this actor is creating two entries in the xml
file.
These entries are as follows
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
<property name="command" class="org.kepler.moml.PortAttribute">
<property name="direction" value="input"
class="ptolemy.kernel.util.StringAttribute"/>
<property name="dataType" value="unknown"
class="ptolemy.kernel.util.StringAttribute"/>
<property name="isMultiport" value="false"
class="ptolemy.kernel.util.StringAttribute"/>
<property name="_showName" class="ptolemy.data.expr.Parameter"
value="true">
</property>
</property>
<property name="command" class="ptolemy.actor.parameters.PortParameter"
value="echo "Hello, world.""></property>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
At runtime because of name duplication error, I think, the actor is not able
to load onto kepler canvas. The exception is as shown below,
-----------------------------------------------------------
After removing the line <property name="command"
class="ptolemy.actor.parameters.PortParameter" value="echo "Hello,
world.""></property>, I am able to see this actor on the kepler canvas.
I am here with enclosing kar file of this actor.
Could you mind to advise me to fix this error?
