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 at net.sf.basedb.core.HibernateUtil.createQuery(HibernateUtil.java:1238) at net.sf.basedb.core.HibernateUtil.getPredefinedQuery(HibernateUtil.java:1 387) at net.sf.basedb.core.AnyToAny.getByName(AnyToAny.java:129) at net.sf.basedb.core.AnyToAny.getNewOrExisting(AnyToAny.java:169) at net.sf.basedb.core.Affymetrix.setCdfFile(Affymetrix.java:86) at sbrn.base.BatchDataImport.importData(BatchDataImport.java:350) at sbrn.base.BatchDataImporter.run(BatchDataImporter.java:137) at net.sf.basedb.core.PluginExecutionRequest.invoke(PluginExecutionRequest. java:82) at net.sf.basedb.core.InternalJobQueue$JobRunner.run(InternalJobQueue.java: 420) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595) Further down the line in my code I then try to attach the cel files to my raw bioassays (I have tested this independently from the above problem with a array design that already has a cdf file associated with it): Affymetrix.setCelFile(rawBioAssays[i], dataFiles[i]); ...and this gives me the following exception: net.sf.basedb.core.ConnectionClosedException: The connection has been closed. at net.sf.basedb.core.DbControl.getItem(DbControl.java:696) at net.sf.basedb.core.RawBioAssay.getArrayDesign(RawBioAssay.java:382) at net.sf.basedb.core.Affymetrix.setCelFile(Affymetrix.java:169) at sbrn.base.BatchDataImport.importData(BatchDataImport.java:371) at sbrn.base.BatchDataImporter.run(BatchDataImporter.java:137) at net.sf.basedb.core.PluginExecutionRequest.invoke(PluginExecutionRequest. java:82) at net.sf.basedb.core.InternalJobQueue$JobRunner.run(InternalJobQueue.java: 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.
