Package org.web3d.vrml.scripting.browser

Class CommonBrowser

java.lang.Object

org.web3d.vrml.scripting.browser.CommonBrowser

Direct Known Subclasses:

VRML97CommonBrowser, X3DCommonBrowser

public abstract class CommonBrowser
extends Object

The common parts of a browser implementation that all the scripting interfaces require.

This class is a partial implementation that is then extended for version-specific functionality. There are major functional differences between VRML97 and X3D and require that some methods be implemented differently. For example createVrmlFromURL is asynchronous in VRML97 by synchronous in X3D and therefore not implemented in this base class. Look to the derived classes for a complete implementation.

The current implementation ignores any parameter values provided by the world.

Field Details

core

protected BrowserCore core

The basic browser core functionality that this script hooks to

routeManager

protected RouteManager routeManager

Route manager for dealing with add/remove ROUTE methods.

loaderManager

protected WorldLoaderManager loaderManager

Loader manager for doing async loads

stateManager

protected FrameStateManager stateManager

The frame state manager for nodes loaded by this class

errorReporter

protected org.j3d.util.ErrorReporter errorReporter

The ErrorReporter for messages

Constructor Details

CommonBrowser

protected CommonBrowser(BrowserCore browser,
 RouteManager rm,
 FrameStateManager fsm,
 WorldLoaderManager wlm)

Create a browser instance that represents the given universe details. If the scene builder or factory is null, then it will find one from the global pool defined for the renderer used by the browser core.

Parameters:

browser - The core representation of the browser

rm - A route manager for users creating/removing routes

fsm - State manager for coordinating inter-frame processing

wlm - Loader manager for doing async calls

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - A parameter is null

Method Details

getDescription

public String getDescription()

Get the description string currently used by the world. Returns null if not set or supported.

Returns:

The current description string or null

setDescription

public void setDescription(String desc)

Set the description of the current world. If the world is operating as part of a web browser then it shall attempt to set the title of the window. If the browser is from a component then the result is dependent on the implementation

Parameters:

desc - The description string to set.

getName

public String getName()

Get the name of the browser. The name is an implementation specific string representing the browser.

Returns:

The name of the browser or null if not supported

getVersion

public String getVersion()

Get the version of the browser. Returns an implementation specific representation of the version number.

Returns:

The version of the browser or null if not supported

getCurrentSpeed

public float getCurrentSpeed()

Get the current velocity of the bound viewpoint in meters per second. The velocity is defined in terms of the world values, not the local coordinate system of the viewpoint.

Returns:

The velocity in m/s or 0.0 if not supported

getCurrentFrameRate

public float getCurrentFrameRate()

Get the current frame rate of the browser in frames per second.

Returns:

The current frame rate or 0.0 if not supported

getWorldURL

public String getWorldURL()

Get the fully qualified URL of the currently loaded world. This returns the entire URL including any possible arguments that might be associated with a CGI call or similar mechanism. If the initial world is replaced with loadURL then the string will reflect the new URL. If replaceWorld is called then the URL still represents the original world.

Returns:

A string of the URL or null if not supported.

addRoute

public void addRoute(VRMLExecutionSpace execSpace,
 VRMLNodeType fromNode,
 String fromEventOut,
 VRMLNodeType toNode,
 String toEventIn)
              throws InvalidFieldException

Add a route between two nodes, from an eventOut to an eventIn. If the ROUTE already exists, this method silently exits. It does not attempt to add a second parallel ROUTE.

Parameters:

execSpace - The space that this route takes place in

fromNode - The source node for the route

fromEventOut - The eventOut source of the route

toNode - The destination node of the route

toEventIn - The eventIn destination of the route

Throws:

InvalidFieldException - the eventIn or eventOut name is not a field of the src/destination node

deleteRoute

public void deleteRoute(VRMLExecutionSpace execSpace,
 VRMLNodeType fromNode,
 String fromEventOut,
 VRMLNodeType toNode,
 String toEventIn)
                 throws InvalidFieldException

Delete a route between two nodes. If the route does not exist, the method silently exits.

Parameters:

execSpace - The space that this route takes place in

fromNode - The source node for the route

fromEventOut - The eventOut source of the route

toNode - The destination node of the route

toEventIn - The eventIn destination of the route

Throws:

InvalidFieldException - the eventIn or eventOut name is not a field of the src/destination node

loadURL

public void loadURL(String[] url,
 Map<String,Object> parameters)

Load the URL as the new root of the scene. Replaces all the current scene graph with the new world. A non-blocking call that will change the contents at some time in the future.

Generates an immediate SHUTDOWN event and then when the new contents are ready to be loaded, sends an INITIALIZED event.

Parameters:

url - The list of URLs in decreasing order of preference as defined in the VRML97 specification.

parameters - The list of parameters to accompany the load call as defined in the Anchor node specification of VRML97

setErrorReporter

public void setErrorReporter(org.j3d.util.ErrorReporter reporter)

Register an error reporter with the CommonBrowser instance so that any errors generated can be reported in a nice manner.

Parameters:

reporter - The new ErrorReporter to use.

completeUrl

protected String[] completeUrl(String[] base)

Insure that a url is a fully qualified URL. Uses the core.worldURL or the local user directory if nothing is loaded.

Parameters:

base - The base url

Returns:

A fully qualified URL
