kieker.analysis.analysisComponent
Class AbstractAnalysisComponent

java.lang.Object
  kieker.analysis.analysisComponent.AbstractAnalysisComponent

All Implemented Interfaces:

IAnalysisComponent

Direct Known Subclasses:

AbstractPlugin, AbstractRepository

public abstract class AbstractAnalysisComponent
extends Object
implements IAnalysisComponent

Do not inherit directly from this class! Instead inherit from the class AbstractFilterPlugin, AbstractReaderPlugin or AbstractRepository. This is the base class for all other analysis components within Kieker, like repositories or plugins. It should therefore only be used by the Kieker components itself as a base.

1.7
