Hi,

I am trying to add Affymetrix support for the batch import plugin I have
been working on, and I am having trouble getting things to work with the
Affymetrix class. Is there a unit test for this class that I could look
at for finding out about proper use of this class? I may just not be
doing things right here.

I get exceptions from two of the method calls -- setCdfFile(ArrayDesign
design, File file) and setCelFile(RawBioAssay rawBioAssay, File file).

setCdfFile(ArrayDesign design, File file) throws a NullPointerException
which is not related to my own code: 

Affymetrix.setCdfFile(arrayDesign, cdfFile);

I have double checked and both the arrayDesign and cdfFile objects are
not null. The stacktrace looks like this:

java.lang.NullPointerException

net.sf.basedb.core.InternalJobQueue$JobRunner.run(InternalJobQueue.java:
420)
        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595)


Further down the line in my code I then try to attach the cel files to
my raw bioassays (I have tested this independently from the above
problem with a array design that already has a cdf file associated with
it):

Affymetrix.setCelFile(rawBioAssays[i], dataFiles[i]);           

...and this gives me the following exception:


net.sf.basedb.core.ConnectionClosedException: The connection has been
closed.

420)
        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595)

This is despite the fact that I have a check for a closed connection
immediately preceding my method call, so the connection is definitely
open before Affymetrix.setCelFile is called. 

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Micha
