BaSyx.Examples.Snippets.AASSMConnection.Java

This code snippet illustrates the connection to an Asset Administration Shell (AAS) sub model using the Java SDK with the ConnectedAssetAdministrationShellManager class. It illustrates the connection to a sub model with a known ID, as well as reading and updating of properties. It also illustrates connection to meta properties.

The BaSys setup for this code snippet is the following:

The BaSys setup consists of a Apache Tomcat server that runs BaSyx Servlets. It contains a sub model provider that exports an example sub model (see here for example). The snippet code runs in context of an application. The application contains the example code and a precompiled BaSyx directory that is used for resolving AAS and sub model IDs to network addresses. The application code accesses the AAS sub model:

// Create manager using the directory stub and the HTTPConnectorProvider
ConnectedAssetAdministrationShellManager manager = new ConnectedAssetAdministrationShellManager(registry,
	// We connect via HTTP
	new HTTPConnectorProvider());
 
 
// Retrieve sub model (created by factory) with SDK connector
// - Create and connect SDK connector
IIdentifier aasId = new Identifier(IdentifierType.CUSTOM, "aas-001");
IIdentifier smId = new Identifier(IdentifierType.CUSTOM, "sm-001");
ISubModel subModel = manager.retrieveSubModel(aasId, smId);
 
// - Retrieve sub model values and compare to expected values
Map<String, ISubmodelElement> smElements = subModel.getSubmodelElements();
IProperty prop1 = (IProperty) smElements.get("prop1");
ISubmodelElementCollection prop2 = (ISubmodelElementCollection) smElements.get("prop2");
IProperty prop11 = (IProperty) prop2.getProperties().get("prop11");
IProperty prop3 = (IProperty) smElements.get("prop3");
 
assertEquals(smId.getId(), subModel.getIdentification().getId());
assertEquals("smName", subModel.getIdShort());
assertEquals("prop1", prop1.getIdShort());
assertEquals(234, prop1.get());
assertEquals("prop2", prop2.getIdShort());
assertEquals("prop11", prop11.getIdShort());
assertEquals(123, prop11.get());
assertEquals("prop3", prop3.getIdShort());
assertEquals(17, prop3.get());

The code first creates a connected Asset Administration Shell manager that creates connections to Asset Administration Shells and AAS sub models. It uses a ConnectionManager class to create the connection and to resolve AAS and sub model IDs:

// Create manager using the directory stub and the HTTPConnectorProvider
ConnectedAssetAdministrationShellManager manager = new ConnectedAssetAdministrationShellManager(registry,
	// We connect via HTTP
	new HTTPConnectorProvider());

The following code connects to the sub model with ID "sm-001". It returns a ISubModel instance that provides a local proxy for the remote sub model.

// Retrieve sub model (created by factory) with SDK connector
// - Create and connect SDK connector
IIdentifier aasId = new Identifier(IdentifierType.CUSTOM, "aas-001");
IIdentifier smId = new Identifier(IdentifierType.CUSTOM, "sm-001");
ISubModel subModel = manager.retrieveSubModel(aasId, smId);

The following code accesses the meta property idShort of the sub model and compares its value to the expected value "sm-001"

// - Retrieve sub model values and compare to expected values
assertEquals(smId.getId(), subModel.getIdentification().getId());

The following code accesses the meta property idShort of the sub model property "prop1" and compares its value to the expected value "prop1"

// - Retrieve sub model values and compare to expected values
Map<String, ISubmodelElement> smElements = subModel.getSubmodelElements();
IProperty prop1 = (IProperty) smElements.get("prop1");
assertEquals("prop1", prop1.getIdShort());

The following code accesses the values of properties "prop1" and "prop3" of the connected sub model compares their values to expected values.

// - Retrieve sub model values and compare to expected values
Map<String, ISubmodelElement> smElements = subModel.getSubmodelElements();
IProperty prop1 = (IProperty) smElements.get("prop1");
IProperty prop3 = (IProperty) smElements.get("prop3");
assertEquals(234, prop1.get());
assertEquals(17, prop3.get());

The following code accesses the idShort meta property of property "prop2", as well as the contained property "prop11". Both requested values are compared to expected values.

ISubmodelElementCollection prop2 = (ISubmodelElementCollection) smElements.get("prop2");
IProperty prop11 = (IProperty) prop2.getProperties().get("prop11");
assertTrue(subModel.getProperties().get("prop2").getId().equals("prop2"));
assertEquals(123, prop11.get());
