[MOBY-l] Collection of Biomoby inputs

[Edward Kawas]

Hi Michael,

To find out whether an input is a collection or not, you need to do first
get the primary inputs:

MobyPrimaryData inputs = service.getPrimaryInputs();

Then while you iterate over them, you need to check if they are either
MobyPrimaryDataSet or MobyPrimaryDataSimple:

for (MobyPrimaryData input : inputs) {
      if (input instanceof MobyPrimaryDataSimple) {
      // not a collection
      } else if (input instanceof MobyPrimaryDataSet) {
      // collection
      }
}

Hope this helps!

Eddie

Hi all,

I'd like to know how I can find out if the input of a Biomoby service is 
a collection or not?
I didn't find appropriate functions in MobyService or MobyDataType Objects.

Anyone knows where to look?

Regards,
Michael
