Interface PropertyExtractor<T>

Type Parameters:

T - Extracted property type.

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

ChemTermPropertyExtractor, MolnamePropertyExtractor, SdfPropertyExtractor

public interface PropertyExtractor<T>
extends Serializable

Represents a property extraction/calculation. Implementations are expected to be thread safe and side effect free.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
T	extract(StructureRecord mol) Extract/calculate represented property from a structure.
Class<T>	getExtractedType() Extracted type.

Method Detail

getExtractedType

Class<T> getExtractedType()

Extracted type.

Returns:

Extracted type.

extract

T extract(StructureRecord mol)
   throws IllegalArgumentException

Extract/calculate represented property from a structure. Note that an IllegalArgumentException is thrown when the property of the represented type can not be extracted, including the following example cases:

• An SDF property extractor does not find the specified property.
• An SDF property extractor finds the specified property but parsing to the given type fails.
• A Chemical Terms calculator results in a type which is incompatible with the given one.

Parameters:

mol - Input structure

Returns:

Extracted property.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - when the represented type can not be extracted. Implementation note: this is the expected exception thrown when Chemical Terms are encapsulated and type mismatch surfaces only after execution
