Class Summary

ResultBuffer	This class represents a buffer for result candidates.
ResultCandidate	Messageswhich can be (the beginning of) Spex results, such as OpeningTagMessage and TextMessage, must extend this class.

Package de.lmu.ifi.pms.spex.engine.results Description

Provides means for buffering possible result messages and printing them. During Spex processing Messages get forwarded from one Transducer to another. During this time they may have been annotated by a head transducer with a head annotation. Only such messages which also are extending ResultCandidate are capable of getting annotated by that head annotations. Getting annotated by such an head annotation does mean, that that message is possibly (a beginning of) a result. Whether it is a result or not depends on the head annotation. It may indicate it to be a result, or no result, or it may just not yet be determinated whether it is a result or not. Such result candidate for whom it is not yet known if they are results or not, will be kept stored in the ResultBuffer. Results will always be printed in first-in first-out order, regardless of which result candidate became a result first. This means that results may have to wait for preceeding result candidates for which it is not yet known if they are results or not.
