LCSim XML Format

The JobManager class processes your job, which is written in an xml format.

This is best explained with examples. We will start very simple and get more complicated, adding options and so forth.

<lcsim>
    <inputFiles>
        <file>./myEvents.slcio</file>
    </inputFiles>
    <control>
        <numberOfEvents>100</numberOfEvents>
    </control>
    <execute>
        <driver name="EventMarkerDriver"/>
    </execute>
    <drivers>
        <driver name="EventMarkerDriver"
                type="org.lcsim.job.EventMarkerDriver">
            <eventInterval>1</eventInterval>
        </driver>
    </drivers>
</lcsim>

The inputFiles section is a list of one or more LCIO input file paths that will be processed.

The control section sets the jobs run parameters. Here we set the maximum numberOfEvents.

The execute section is a list of drivers to be executed in order. The name field of the driver element must correspond with a valid driver.

Finally, the drivers section describes the drivers that will be run on the input file. Certain types of Driver parameters can be set in this section. Here the interval for event printing is set as eventInterval, which is an integer.

The signature for this method looks like this.

public void setEventInterval(int eventInterval);

The JobManager is able to convert from xml to these simple setters using Javabeans. All Java primitive types are accepted, as are 1d arrays of these types. The method must have a single argument only.
