Advanced Programming - First Project - Group 04

To execute the project you will need JDK8. If you have gradle installed you only need to run:

$ gradle run -PappArgs="['MainClass']"

Where MainClass is the class containing the declaration of the main method, for example:

$ gradle run -PappArgs="['Tests.TestCacheMain']"

If you do not like gradle, you can always run it using, on Linux:

$ java -cp ./build/libs/genericFunctions.jar:./javassist.jar:. ist.meic.pa.GenericFunctions.WithGenericFunctions MainClass

Or in Windows:

$ java -cp "build/libs/genericFunctions.jar;javassist.jar" ist.meic.pa.GenericFunctions.WithGenericFunctions MainClass

Extensions

Our extensions consist of:

1. Caching of effective methods;
2. Other methods combination (LIST, AND, OR, PLUS, MAX, MIN);
3. Caching the result of other methods combination.

We use the @GenericFunction, @After and @Before annotations of the non-extended version. Therefore, if you want to run tests made for the non-extended version in the extended version, you do not have to import a different annotation.

To run the extended version of the project, using gradle, you have to change the main class on build.gradle from/to:

mainClassName = 'ist.meic.pa.GenericFunctions.WithGenericFunctions'

mainClassName = 'ist.meic.pa.GenericFunctionsExtended.WithGenericFunctions'

To run it with java you only need the command bellow (instead of the previous command):

$ java -cp ./build/libs/genericFunctions.jar:./javassist.jar:. ist.meic.pa.GenericFunctionsExtended.WithGenericFunctions MainClass

Tests

We have some tests for the extensions in the package "Tests". For example, you can run the Test.TestCacheMain with the extended version versus the non-extended version and compare the execution time. You can also check how to use other method combinations using. for example, the Test.TestCombinationMAXMain test, for the MAX type.
