Method Detail

getScoreDirectorFactory

public InnerScoreDirectorFactory<Solution_> getScoreDirectorFactory()

Description copied from interface: Solver

Useful to reuse the Score calculation in a UI (or even to explain the Score in a UI).

Returns:

never null

getBestSolution

public Solution_ getBestSolution()

Description copied from interface: Solver

The best solution is the best solution found during solving: it might or might not be optimal, feasible or even initialized.

The #solve(Solution_) method also returns the best solution, but this method is useful in rare asynchronous situations (although SolverEventListener.bestSolutionChanged(BestSolutionChangedEvent) is often more appropriate).

This method is thread-safe.

Returns:

never null, but it can return the original, uninitialized PlanningSolution with a Score null.

getBestScore

public Score getBestScore()

Description copied from interface: Solver

Returns the Score of the Solver.getBestSolution().

This is useful for generic code, which doesn't know the type of the PlanningSolution to retrieve the Score from the Solver.getBestSolution() easily.

Returns:

null if the PlanningSolution is still uninitialized

getTimeMillisSpent

public long getTimeMillisSpent()

Returns:

the amount of millis spent between when this solver started (or last restarted) and ended

isSolving

public boolean isSolving()

Description copied from interface: Solver

This method is thread-safe.

Returns:

true if the #solve(Solution_) method is still running.

terminateEarly

public boolean terminateEarly()

Description copied from interface: Solver

Notifies the solver that it should stop at its earliest convenience. This method returns immediately, but it takes an undetermined time for the #solve(Solution_) to actually return.

This method is thread-safe.

Returns:

true if successful

See Also:

Solver.isTerminateEarly(), Future.cancel(boolean)

isTerminateEarly

public boolean isTerminateEarly()

Description copied from interface: Solver

This method is thread-safe.

Returns:

true if terminateEarly has been called since the Solver started.

See Also:

Future.isCancelled()

addProblemFactChange

public boolean addProblemFactChange(ProblemFactChange<Solution_> problemFactChange)

Description copied from interface: Solver

Schedules a ProblemFactChange to be processed.

As a side-effect, this restarts the Solver, effectively resetting all Terminations, but not Solver.terminateEarly().

This method is thread-safe. Follows specifications of BlockingQueue.add(Object) with by default a capacity of Integer.MAX_VALUE.

Parameters:

problemFactChange - never null

Returns:

true (as specified by Collection.add(E))

isEveryProblemFactChangeProcessed

public boolean isEveryProblemFactChangeProcessed()

Description copied from interface: Solver

Checks if all scheduled ProblemFactChanges have been processed.

This method is thread-safe.

Returns:

true if there are no ProblemFactChanges left to do

solve

public Solution_ solve(Solution_ part)

Description copied from interface: Solver

Solves the planning problem and returns the best solution encountered (which might or might not be optimal, feasible or even initialized).

It can take seconds, minutes, even hours or days before this method returns, depending on the Termination configuration. To terminate a Solver early, call Solver.terminateEarly().

Parameters:

part - never null, usually its planning variables are uninitialized

Returns:

never null, but it can return the original, uninitialized PlanningSolution with a Score null.

See Also:

Solver.terminateEarly()

solvingStarted

public void solvingStarted(DefaultSolverScope<Solution_> solverScope)

Overrides:

solvingStarted in class AbstractSolver<Solution_>

solvingEnded

public void solvingEnded(DefaultSolverScope<Solution_> solverScope)

Overrides:

solvingEnded in class AbstractSolver<Solution_>
