Tasks initiated by the general adapter may be given a command line argument. This argument is as with the locations static, and can therefore not contain any dynamic settings (e.g. start of run time etc.).
Running Java Classes from DELFT-FEWS
It is also possible to call external java classes (*.jar) from the general adapter. Within this option it is NOT necessary to have the java *.jar file stored in the Delft-FEWS \bin\ directory. In this way, the dependency is clear and should it be seen as separate from the 'core' code of Delft-FEWS. An example can be found below.
User interaction
Modules called from the DELFT-FEWS system should in principle be defined such that these require no user interaction through menus and screens. This principle holds for all modules that are run from the system as a requirement in making an automatic forecast. These modules are then typically run on forecasting shell servers, i.e. dedicated servers for module execution. An exception to this rule can be made for modules run on the operator client that require manual interaction. The interface to these is from the point of view of the general adapter exactly the same as any other module. However, the module itself may require user interaction to complete the task required. An example is the interactive correlation utility.
