public interface ProcessingResource
extends Resource, Executable

Models all sorts of processing resources. Because run() doesn't throw exceptions, we have a check() that will re-throw any exception that was caught when run() was invoked.

void	reInit() Reinitialises the processing resource.

Method Detail

reInit

void reInit()
            throws ResourceInstantiationException

Reinitialises the processing resource. After calling this method the resource should be in the state it is after calling init. If the resource depends on external resources (such as rules files) then the resource will re-read those resources. If the data used to create the resource has changed since the resource has been created then the resource will change too after calling reInit().

Throws:

ResourceInstantiationException
