com.dnanexus.DXObject

Direct Known Subclasses:

DXContainer, DXDataObject, DXExecution

public abstract class DXObject

Field Detail

MAPPER

protected static final com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper MAPPER

dxId

protected final String dxId

The ID of this object (this is the base for URLs used in API calls, /object-id/verb).

env

protected final DXEnvironment env

Environment object to use for API calls. This should also be propagated to any new object handlers created by this object.

Constructor Detail

DXObject

protected DXObject(String dxId,
                   String className,
                   DXEnvironment env)

Creates a new object with the specified ID and environment.

Parameters:

dxId - DNAnexus object ID, e.g. "file-xxxx"

className - desired class name that should be a prefix of the object ID, or null to perform no prefix check

env - Environment to use for API queries, or null to use the default environment.

Method Detail

getId

public String getId()

Returns the ID of the object.

Returns:

the DNAnexus object ID

apiCallOnObject

protected com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode apiCallOnObject(String method,
                                                                  com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode input,
                                                                  DXHTTPRequest.RetryStrategy retryStrategy)

Calls the specified API method on this object (with the specified input hash) and returns its result. Subclasses can use this method to call API methods with the correct object ID and environment settings.

Parameters:

method - Name of method, e.g. "describe"

input - Request payload (to be converted to JSON)

retryStrategy - Indicates whether the request is idempotent and can be retried

apiCallOnObject

protected com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode apiCallOnObject(String method,
                                                                  DXHTTPRequest.RetryStrategy retryStrategy)

Calls the specified API method on this object (with an empty input hash) and returns its result. Subclasses can use this method to call API methods with the correct object ID and environment settings.

Parameters:

method - Name of method, e.g. "describe"

retryStrategy - Indicates whether the request is idempotent and can be retried
