Method Detail

createConstellation

public static Constellation createConstellation(ConstellationConfiguration e)
                                         throws ConstellationCreationException

Creates a constellation instance, using the specified executor and the system properties. If the system property ibis.constellation.distributed is not set, or set to "true", a distributed constellation instance is created. If not, a singlethreaded constellation is created.

Parameters:

e - the executor

Returns:

the constellation instance

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - thrown when no executors are supplied, or in case of incorrect property values.

ConstellationCreationException - thrown when the constellation instance could not be created for some reason.

createConstellation

public static Constellation createConstellation(ConstellationConfiguration e,
                                                int count)
                                         throws ConstellationCreationException

Creates a constellation instance, using the specified executor and the system properties. If the system property ibis.constellation.distributed is not set, or set to "true", a distributed constellation instance is created. If not, a singlethreaded constellation is created.

Parameters:

e - the executor

count - an int value

Returns:

the constellation instance

Throws:

ConstellationCreationException - thrown when the constellation instance could not be created for some reason.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - thrown when no executors are supplied, or in case of incorrect property values.

createConstellation

public static Constellation createConstellation(java.util.Properties p,
                                                ConstellationConfiguration e)
                                         throws ConstellationCreationException

Creates a constellation instance, using the specified executor and properties. If the property ibis.constellation.distributed is not set, or set to "true", a distributed constellation instance is created. If not, a singlethreaded constellation is created.

Parameters:

p - the properties to use

e - the executor

Returns:

the constellation instance

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - thrown when no executors are supplied, or in case of incorrect property values.

ConstellationCreationException - thrown when the constellation instance could not be created for some reason.

createConstellation

public static Constellation createConstellation(java.util.Properties p,
                                                ConstellationConfiguration e,
                                                int count)
                                         throws ConstellationCreationException

Creates a constellation instance, using the specified executor and properties. If the property ibis.constellation.distributed is not set, or set to "true", a distributed constellation instance is created. If not, a singlethreaded constellation is created.

Parameters:

p - the properties to use

e - the executor

count - the number of executors, if larger than 1, then a multithreaded Constellation will be created.

Returns:

the constellation instance

Throws:

ConstellationCreationException - thrown when the constellation instance could not be created for some reason.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - thrown when no executors are supplied, or in case of incorrect property values.

createConstellation

public static Constellation createConstellation(ConstellationConfiguration... e)
                                         throws ConstellationCreationException

Creates a constellation instance, using the specified executors and the system properties. If the system property ibis.constellation.distributed is not set, or set to "true", a distributed constellation instance is created. If not, depending on the number of executors, either a multithreaded constellation or a singlethreaded constellation is created.

Parameters:

e - the executors

Returns:

the constellation instance

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - thrown when no executors are supplied, or in case of incorrect property values.

ConstellationCreationException - thrown when the constellation instance could not be created for some reason.

createConstellation

public static Constellation createConstellation(java.util.Properties p,
                                                ConstellationConfiguration... e)
                                         throws ConstellationCreationException

Creates a constellation instance, using the specified executors and properties. If the property ibis.constellation.distributed is not set, or set to "true", a distributed constellation instance is created. If not, depending on the number of executors, either a multithreaded constellation or a singlethreaded constellation is created.

Parameters:

p - the properties

e - the executors

Returns:

the constellation instance

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - thrown when no executors are supplied, or in case of incorrect property values.

ConstellationCreationException - thrown when the constellation instance could not be created for some reason.
