Typesafe Simple PTQL for ProcessFinder

Hi.

I have created a typesafe simple PTQL for ProcessFinder.
I found that it was error prone to use the string based query, and thus I created a type safe way of creating simple PTQL queries.

Currently Env.* and Modules.* are not supported.

The SimplePTQL class looks like this: http://code.google.com/p/jodconverter/source/browse/branches/3.0-sigar/jodconverter-core/src/main/ja...

You use it like this:

SimplePTQL ptql = new SimplePTQL.Builder(SimplePTQL.STATE_NAME(), SimplePTQL.EQ(), "java").createQuery();

Assert.assertEquals(ptql.getQuery(), "State.Name.eq=java");
processFinder(ptql.getQuery());

ptql = new SimplePTQL.Builder(SimplePTQL.STATE_NAME(), SimplePTQL.EQ(), "Hopefully There is no Process called this").createQuery();
List<Long> find2 = spm.find(ptql);
Assert.assertTrue(find2.size() == 0);

ptql = new SimplePTQL.Builder(SimplePTQL.PID_PID(), SimplePTQL.GT(), "1").createQuery();
List<Long> find3 = spm.find(ptql);
Assert.assertTrue(find3.size() > 1);

And this is how you use the Args.

public void realArguments() throws Exception {
if (PlatformUtils.isWindows()) {
throw new SkipException("Sleep only works on unix");
}

Process process = new ProcessBuilder("sleep", "60s").start();
Assert.assertNotNull(process);

SimplePTQL ptql = new SimplePTQL.Builder(SimplePTQL.STATE_NAME(), SimplePTQL.EQ(), "sleep")
.addArgs(1, SimplePTQL.EQ(), "60s", Strategy.NOT_ESCAPE).createQuery();

long[] pids = processFinder.find(ptql.getQuery());
Assert.assertEquals(pids,pids.length == 1);
}

//Proving arguments work
public void args() throws Exception {
SimplePTQL ptql = new SimplePTQL.Builder(SimplePTQL.STATE_NAME(), SimplePTQL.RE(), "office.*")
.addArgs(1, SimplePTQL.RE(), "\\Qpipe,name,office1\\E", Strategy.ESCAPE)
.createQuery();

Assert.assertEquals(ptql.getQuery(), "State.Name.re=office.*,Args.1.re=pipe.name.office1");

ptql = new SimplePTQL.Builder(SimplePTQL.STATE_NAME(), SimplePTQL.EQ(), "office.*")
.addArgs(1, SimplePTQL.RE(), "\\Qpipe,name,office1\\E", Strategy.ESCAPE)
.addArgs(2, SimplePTQL.EQ(), "\\Qpipe,name,office2\\E", Strategy.ESCAPE)
.setStrategy(Strategy.ESCAPE)
.createQuery();

Assert.assertEquals(ptql.getQuery(), "State.Name.eq=office.*,Args.1.re=pipe.name.office1,Args.2.eq=pipe.name.office2");
}

Any comments/feedback appreciated.
I am sure there might be errors in the code, and I also want to include Env and Modules, however, I don't know how they work since I couldn't find any documentation on them. Would love to include support for that as well.

PS: Feel free to include this in the distribution, or work on it if you feel to do so

PPS:
I wrote a blog post about it here: http://shervinasgari.blogspot.com/2011/03/api-helper-wrapper-for-processfinder-in.html

Hi Shervin,

That looks cool, thanks for sharing. I will give it a try soon and we can also considering including with the distribution.
