Method Detail

setPixelsId

boolean setPixelsId(long pixelsId)

This method manages the state of the service; it must be invoked before using any other methods. As the

ThumbnailStore

relies on the

RenderingEngine

, a valid rendering definition must be available for it to work.

Parameters:

pixelsId - an Pixels id.

Returns:

true if a RenderingDef exists for the Pixels set, otherwise false

Throws:

ApiUsageException - if no pixels object exists with the ID pixelsId.

isInProgress

boolean isInProgress()

This returns the last available in progress state for a thumbnail. Its return value is only expected to be valid after the call to any of the individual thumbnail retrieval methods.

Returns:

true if the image is in the process of being imported or a pyramid is being generated for it.

setRenderingDefId

void setRenderingDefId(long renderingDefId)

This method manages the state of the service; it should be invoked directly after setPixelsId. If it is not invoked with a valid rendering definition ID before using the thumbnail accessor methods execution continues as if renderingDefId were set to null.

Parameters:

renderingDefId - an RenderingDef id. null specifies the user's currently active rendering settings to be used.

Throws:

ValidationException - if no rendering definition exists with the ID renderingDefId.

getRenderingDefId

long getRenderingDefId()

Return the id of the RenderingDef loaded in this instance.

getThumbnail

byte[] getThumbnail(Integer sizeX,
                  Integer sizeY)

Retrieves a thumbnail for a pixels set using a given set of rendering settings (RenderingDef). If the thumbnail exists in the on-disk cache it will be returned directly, otherwise it will be created as in #getThumbDirect(), placed in the on-disk cache and returned.

Parameters:

sizeX - the X-axis width of the thumbnail. null specifies the default size of 48.

sizeY - the Y-axis width of the thumbnail. null specifies the default size of 48.

Returns:

a JPEG thumbnail byte buffer.

Throws:

ApiUsageException - if:

• sizeX > pixels.sizeX
• sizeX is negative
• sizeY > pixels.sizeY
• sizeY is negative
• setPixelsId() has not yet been called

getThumbnailDirect()

getThumbnailSet

Map<Long,byte[]> getThumbnailSet(Integer sizeX,
                               Integer sizeY,
                               Set<Long> pixelsIds)

Retrieves a number of thumbnails for pixels sets using given sets of rendering settings (RenderingDef). If the thumbnails exist in the on-disk cache they will be returned directly, otherwise they will be created as in #getThumbDirect(), placed in the on-disk cache and returned. Unlike the other thumbnail retrieval methods, this method may be called without first calling #setPixelsId().

Parameters:

sizeX - the X-axis width of the thumbnail. null specifies the default size of 48.

sizeY - the Y-axis width of the thumbnail. null specifies the default size of 48.

pixelsIds - the Pixels sets to retrieve thumbnails for.

Returns:

a Map whose keys are pixels ids and values are JPEG thumbnail byte buffers or null if an exception was thrown while attempting to retrieve the thumbnail for that particular Pixels set.

getThumbnail()

getThumbnailByLongestSideSet

Map<Long,byte[]> getThumbnailByLongestSideSet(Integer size,
                                            Set<Long> pixelsIds)

Retrieves a number of thumbnails for pixels sets using given sets of rendering settings (RenderingDef). If the Thumbnails exist in the on-disk cache they will be returned directly, otherwise they will be created as in getThumbnailByLongestSideDirect(java.lang.Integer). The longest side of the image will be used to calculate the size for the smaller side in order to keep the aspect ratio of the original image. Unlike the other thumbnail retrieval methods, this method may be called without first calling #setPixelsId().

Parameters:

size - the size of the longest side of the thumbnail requested. null specifies the default size of 48.

pixelsIds - the Pixels sets to retrieve thumbnails for.

Returns:

a Map whose keys are pixels ids and values are JPEG thumbnail byte buffers or null if an exception was thrown while attempting to retrieve the thumbnail for that particular Pixels set.

See Also:

getThumbnailSet()

getThumbnailByLongestSide

byte[] getThumbnailByLongestSide(Integer size)

Retrieves a thumbnail for a pixels set using a given set of rendering settings (RenderingDef). If the thumbnail exists in the on-disk cache it will bereturned directly, otherwise it will be created as in #getThumbDirect(), placed in the on-disk cache and returned. The longest side of the image will be used to calculate the size for the smaller side in order to keep the aspect ratio of the original image.

Parameters:

size - the size of the longest side of the thumbnail requested. null specifies the default size of 48.

Returns:

a JPEG thumbnail byte buffer.

Throws:

ApiUsageException - if:

• size > pixels.sizeX and pixels.sizeY

getThumbnail()

getThumbnailDirect

byte[] getThumbnailDirect(Integer sizeX,
                        Integer sizeY)

Parameters:

sizeX - the X-axis width of the thumbnail. null specifies the default size of 48.

sizeY - the Y-axis width of the thumbnail. null specifies the default size of 48.

Returns:

a JPEG thumbnail byte buffer.

Throws:

ApiUsageException - if:

• sizeX > pixels.sizeX
• sizeX is negative
• sizeY > pixels.sizeY
• sizeY is negative
• setPixelsId() has not yet been called
