Method Detail

getWorkingSolution

Solution_ getWorkingSolution()

The PlanningSolution that is used to calculate the Score.

Because a Score is best calculated incrementally (by deltas), the ScoreDirector needs to be notified when its working solution changes.

Returns:

never null

lookUpWorkingObject

<E> E lookUpWorkingObject(E externalObject)

Translates an entity or fact instance (often from another Thread or JVM) to this ScoreDirector's internal working instance. Useful for move rebasing and in a ProblemChange.

Matching is determined by the LookUpStrategyType on PlanningSolution. Matching uses a PlanningId by default.

Type Parameters:

E - the object type

Parameters:

externalObject - sometimes null

Returns:

null if externalObject is null

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if there is no workingObject for externalObject, if it cannot be looked up or if the externalObject's class is not supported

IllegalStateException - if it cannot be looked up

lookUpWorkingObjectOrReturnNull

<E> E lookUpWorkingObjectOrReturnNull(E externalObject)

As defined by lookUpWorkingObject(Object), but doesn't fail fast if no workingObject was ever added for the externalObject. It's recommended to use lookUpWorkingObject(Object) instead, especially in move rebasing code.

Type Parameters:

E - the object type

Parameters:

externalObject - sometimes null

Returns:

null if externalObject is null or if there is no workingObject for externalObject

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if it cannot be looked up or if the externalObject's class is not supported

IllegalStateException - if it cannot be looked up
