## Interface CpeConfiguration

- All Superinterfaces:
    Cloneable, MetaDataObject, Serializable, XMLizable

      public interface CpeConfiguration
      extends MetaDataObject

  An object that holds configuration that is part of the CPE descriptor. Provides the means of defining and obtaining CPE specific configuration that includes:
  - Number of entities to process
  - Checkpoint file and frequency of checkpoints
  - Plug-in timer class

    - #### setDeployment

          void setDeployment(String aDeploy)
                      throws CpeDescriptorException

      Sets CPE deployment mode as "immediate", "vinceService", "interactive". The CPE does not directly use this information, instead it is up to the application using the CPE to ingest this and handle it as appropriate. This element is used by an application that uses the CPE. The CPE is an embeddable component, part of a larger application.
      - "immediate" mode: this is the way the CPE is typically run. In this mode the application is initializing the CPE and starts in without user interaction. The CPE runs to completion in this case.
      - "interactive" mode: The application interacts with the CPE via an API to stop, pause, or resume the CPE.
      - "vinciService" mode: used to indicate control of CPE in terms of stop, pause, resume, and query for performance info, from a remote console.
      Parameters:
        `aDeploy` - - deployment mode of the CPE
      Throws:
        `CpeDescriptorException` - tbd

    - #### getDeployment

          String getDeployment()

      Returns CPE deployment mode as "immediate", "vinceService", "interactive".
      Returns:
        - deployment mode
      See Also:
        `for a description of these modes.`

    - #### setNumToProcess

          void setNumToProcess(int aNumToProcess)
                        throws CpeDescriptorException

      Sets number of entities to process by the CPE.
      Parameters:
        `aNumToProcess` - - number of entities to process (-1 - for ALL)
      Throws:
        `CpeDescriptorException` - tbd

    - #### getNumToProcess

          int getNumToProcess()

      Returns number of entities to process
      Returns:
        - number of entities to process (-1 - for ALL)

    - #### setStartingEntityId

          void setStartingEntityId(String aEntityId)

      Sets id of the first entity the CPE will beging processing. Usefull when starting the CPE from a known point.
      Parameters:
        `aEntityId` - - id of first entity

    - #### getStartingEntityId

          String getStartingEntityId()

      Returns id of the first entity the CPE will beging processing. Usefull when starting the CPE from a known point.
      Returns:
        - id of first entity

    - #### setCheckpoint

          void setCheckpoint(CpeCheckpoint aCheckpoint)
                      throws CpeDescriptorException

      Sets Checkpoint object containing checkpoint file and frequency of checkpoints.
      Parameters:
        `aCheckpoint` - - checkpoint object
      Throws:
        `CpeDescriptorException` - tbd

    - #### getCheckpoint

          CpeCheckpoint getCheckpoint()

      Returns Checkpoint object containing checkpoint file and frequency of checkpoints.
      Returns:
        `CpeCheckpoint`

    - #### removeCheckpoint

          void removeCheckpoint()

      Removes checkpoint object

    - #### setCpeTimer

          void setCpeTimer(CpeTimer aTimer)

      Sets the timer class implementing UimeTimer interface. This timer will be used to time CPE events. By default, the CPE uses System.currentTimeMillis() to obtain time.
      Parameters:
        `aTimer` - - timer class

    - #### getCpeTimer

          CpeTimer getCpeTimer()

      Returns the timer class implementing UimeTimer interface. This timer will be used to time CPE events. By default, the CPE uses System.currentTimeMillis() to obtain time.
      Returns:
        - timer class

    - #### getTimerImpl

          String getTimerImpl()

    - #### removeCpeTimer

          void removeCpeTimer()

    - #### getOutputQueue

          OutputQueue getOutputQueue()

    - #### getMaxTimeToWait

          int getMaxTimeToWait()
