getDisplayInformation()

is abstract, meaning every Say It Smart plugin must implement this

method.

SayItSmartDependency getFormatDependencies()

As described in the design section, a plugin’s output formats are dependent on the input formats.
This method defines those relationships. The

SayItSmartDependency

object is used to specify

which output formats listed in the

getDisplayInformation()

method apply to which input

formats.

The

SayItSmartDependency

class is defined generically with the concepts of “parents” and

“children”. For this method, the parents are input formats and the children are output formats.
The developer simply uses the

addParent()

methods to add a new input format and the output

formats that depend on it. The

addChild()

and

addChildren()

methods are used to add

additional output formats that are dependent on the specified parent. This is done until all input
formats are listed and all the output formats that depend on it are listed. Remember that the
names to use here are the real names, the display names are used only by Studio. All the input
formats and output formats defined in the

getDisplayInformation()

method must be mapped

here.

This method throws a

SayItSmartException

if the

SayItSmartDependency

object is not

configured correctly.

getFormatDependencies()

is abstract, meaning every Say It Smart plugin must implement this

method.

SayItSmartDependency getFilesetDependencies()

This method is identical to the

getFormatDependencies()

method except it defines which

filesets are dependent on which output formats. This method also returns a

SayItSmartDependency

object, except this time the “parent” is an output format, and the

“child” is a fileset. Again, the real names of the output formats and filesets must be used here.
All the output formats and filesets defined in the

getDisplayInformation()

method must be

mapped here.

This method throws a

SayItSmartException

if the

SayItSmartDependency

object is not

configured correctly.

getFilesetDependencies()

is abstract, meaning every Say It Smart plugin must implement

this method.
