    public void addImplementation(Class template,
     Class impl)
     throws BioException 

    Install a new mapping from a class of Feature.Template to a class of Feature implementations. The implementation class MUST have a public constructor of the form (Sequence, FeatureHolder, Feature.Template).

    A newly added implementation takes precendence over any existing implementations if a template can be realized by more than one implementation.

    Parameters:

    template - The class of templates to implement.

    impl - A class of Feature which can be used to implement these templates.

    Throws:

    BioException

  • realizeFeature

    public Feature realizeFeature(Sequence seq,
     FeatureHolder parent,
     Feature.Template temp)
     throws BioException 

    Description copied from interface: FeatureRealizer
    Install a feature on the specified sequence.

    Specified by:

    realizeFeature in interface FeatureRealizer

    Parameters:

    seq - The sequence to which the feature will be added.

    parent - The FeatureHolder which is to be the Feature's immediate parent.

    temp - A description of the desired feature.

    Returns:

    A newly constructed feature, to be added to the sequence.

    Throws:

    BioException - If the feature could not be constructed.
