About the Exploration Component API

The Exploration component provides an API for programmatically configuring the Exploration component using a Java program.

For information about component APIs, see Component APIs.

The Exploration component API consists of the following methods:

  • get("ExplorationPlan"). This returns an ExplorationPlan object as defined in the com.engineous.sdk.designdriver.plan package. The Exploration strategy contains the algorithm and determines the execution logic. To configure or customize the behavior of the Exploration component, you must use the ExplorationPlan. The ExplorationPlan also contains a few primary execution options that can be configured, but the majority of the customization must be done with the Exploration strategy.

  • get("ExplorationStrategy"). This returns an ExplorationStrategy object for the strategy currently selected for the Exploration component. This object then provides methods for getting/setting options to configure the strategy. For more information on configuring an Exploration strategy, refer to the javadocs for the ExplorationStrategy interface—open the following file in a web browser:

    For the options available for any specific strategy, refer to the documentation for that strategy.
