  • Method Details

    • saveSUIDs

      public static void saveSUIDs(CyJob job, CyNetwork network, List<? extends CyIdentifiable> objs)
      This method may be used to save a list of SUIDs that have been sent to a remote service so that they may be restored later
      Parameters:
      job - the job that we're saving the SUIDs for
      network - the network that the SUIDs are part of
      objs - the Cytoscape objects whose SUIDs we want to save

    • restoreNetwork

      public static CyNetwork restoreNetwork(CyJob job, CyNetworkManager netManager, Long networkSUID, boolean clear)
      This method is used to restore a saved network based on the network SUID. This takes some special handling, since our access to the network tables are through the network itself, we need to use the network manager to get the list of networks in order to find the right network.
      Parameters:
      job - the CyJob we're restoring
      netManager - the CyNetworkManager to get the list of networks
      networkSUID - the SUIDof the network we're restoring
      clear - if true, remove the column for this job
      Returns:
      the restored network or null if we can't find it

    • restoreSUIDs

      public static Map<Long,CyIdentifiable> restoreSUIDs(CyJob job, CyNetwork network, List<Long> oldIds, boolean clear)
      Method to restore Cytoscape objects based on a list of SUIDs that were sent to the remote service as saved in the hidden table.
      Parameters:
      job - the CyJob we're restoring
      network - the network the SUIDs are part of. See {@link SaveSUID.restoreNetwork()} for a method to get the network
      oldIds - the list of old SUIDs that were sent to the remote server and saved in the session
      clear - if true, remove the columns for this job
      Returns:
      a map that relates the original id to the Cytoscape object
