Method Detail

getPRs

Collection getPRs()

Returns all the ProcessingResources contained by this controller. The actual type of collection returned depends on the controller type.

setPRs

void setPRs(Collection PRs)

Populates this controller from a collection of ProcessingResources (optional operation). Controllers that are serializable must implement this method needed by GATE to restore their contents.

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if the setPRs method is not supported by this controller.
