## org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.extension
Interface IReportItemGeneration

    public interface IReportItemGeneration

Represents the extended item generation extension, which processes the report item at report geenration time.

Method Summary
`void` | `finish()` Performs clean up work
`IReportItemGenerationInfo` | `getGenerationConfig()`
`Size` | `getSize()` Get the size of the extended item.
`void` | `init(IReportItemGenerationInfo info)`
`boolean` | `needSerialization()` returns whether the extended item needs serialization of state information at generation time
`void` | `onRowSets(IBaseResultSet[] results)` processes the extended item in report generation environment.
`void` | `onRowSets(IRowSet[] rowSets)` Deprecated. since BIRT 2.3
`void` | `serialize(java.io.OutputStream ostream)` serializes the extended item generation time state.
`void` | `setApplicationClassLoader(java.lang.ClassLoader loader)` Deprecated. implement #init(IReportItemGenerationInfo) instead
`void` | `setExtendedItemContent(IContent content)` Deprecated. implement #init(IReportItemGenerationInfo) instead
`void` | `setModelObject(ExtendedItemHandle modelHandle)` Deprecated. implement #init(IReportItemGenerationInfo) instead
`void` | `setReportQueries(IDataQueryDefinition[] queries)` Deprecated. implement #init(IReportItemGenerationInfo) instead
`void` | `setScriptContext(IReportContext context)` Deprecated. implement #init(IReportItemGenerationInfo) instead

Method Detail

### init

    void init(IReportItemGenerationInfo info)

  Since:
    BIRT 2.3

### setModelObject

    void setModelObject(ExtendedItemHandle modelHandle)

  Deprecated. implement #init(IReportItemGenerationInfo) instead

  passes a handle to the extended report item model to the extension

  Parameters:
    `modelHandle` - a handle to the extended item model object

### setApplicationClassLoader

    void setApplicationClassLoader(java.lang.ClassLoader loader)

  Deprecated. implement #init(IReportItemGenerationInfo) instead

  passes the class loader used to load user defined classes.

  Parameters:
    `loader` - class loader used to load the classes

### setScriptContext

    void setScriptContext(IReportContext context)

  Deprecated. implement #init(IReportItemGenerationInfo) instead

  pass the script context to the report item.

  Parameters:
    `context` - report context used by java-based script

### setReportQueries

    void setReportQueries(IDataQueryDefinition[] queries)

  Deprecated. implement #init(IReportItemGenerationInfo) instead

  pass the prepared query definition to extended item implementation, so that it can access data.

### onRowSets

    void onRowSets(IRowSet[] rowSets)
                   throws BirtException

  Deprecated. since BIRT 2.3

  processes the extended item in report generation environment.

  Parameters:
    `rowSets` - rowSets an array of row sets that is passed to the extension
  Throws:
    `BirtException` - throws exception when there is a problem processing the extended item

### onRowSets

    void onRowSets(IBaseResultSet[] results)
                   throws BirtException

  processes the extended item in report generation environment.

  Parameters:
    `results` - results is an array of query results which is passed to the extended item. The extended item could retrieve data from those results.
  Throws:
    `BirtException` - throws exception when there is a problem processing the extended item

### needSerialization

    boolean needSerialization()

  returns whether the extended item needs serialization of state information at generation time

  Returns:
    whether the extended item needs to serialize state information at generation time

### serialize

    void serialize(java.io.OutputStream ostream)
                   throws BirtException

  serializes the extended item generation time state. The application developer should not assume that the output stream is a file stream. Presentation engine guarantees that a corresponding input stream is available for deserializing what is written by this function.

  Parameters:
    `ostream` - the output stream to write the generation time state of the extended item to
  Throws:
    `BirtException` - when there is a problem serializing the extended item state

### getSize

    Size getSize()

  Get the size of the extended item. The size is a Dimension object. The width and height can only be in absolute units (inch, mm, etc.) or pixel. It can not be a relative size such as 150% or 1.2em. Notice that an extended item can obtain its design-time size information by querying DE. This function is needed because the actual size may not be the same as the design-time size.

  Returns:
    the size of the extended item. Return null if the size does not matter or can not be determined.

### finish

    void finish()

  Performs clean up work

### setExtendedItemContent

    void setExtendedItemContent(IContent content)

  Deprecated. implement #init(IReportItemGenerationInfo) instead

  Set the content which is transformed from extended item. Extended item can process some properties itself, such as bookmark, style etc.

  Parameters:
    `content` - content which is transformed from extended item.

### getGenerationConfig

    IReportItemGenerationInfo getGenerationConfig()
