IlrScenarioSuiteResourcesRenderer (Decision Center API)

```
public interface IlrScenarioSuiteResourcesRenderer
```
Represents how data is provided to the scenario provider by the Decision Center user.

Overview

Implement this interface to encode and decode the scenario suite resources. These resources are used to build the IlrScenarioSuiteDescriptor given to the scenario provider. The renderer is linked to the class name of the scenario provider, and is used in Decision Center when choosing the format.

You also have to define, in Decision Center, a configuration parameter that associates the scenario suite resources renderer to its renderer class. The key is "teamserver." + scenarioProviderClassName + ".renderer". For example, if scenarioProviderClassName is com.test.MyProvider, the key must be teamserver.com.test.MyProvider.renderer. This value is the fully qualified name of the scenario suite resources renderer.

Example

You can find code examples of how to implement IlrScenarioSuiteResourcesRenderer in the Custom scenario provider and KPI sample.
About the DVS API

Decision Validation Services provides business rule testing and simulation solutions to developers and business users.

You use the DVS API to:
- Run an existing scenario suite (a test suite or simulation).
- Create key performance indicators (KPIs) to display the business outcomes of simulations.
- Customize the scenario providers, which determine how input data is provided to the test & simulation engine for execution.
- Read and write test and simulation data using the default Excel 2003 formats.

void decode(ilog.rules.dvs.common.descriptors.IlrScenarioFormatDescriptor formatDescriptor,
          java.util.Map<java.lang.String,byte[]> resources,
          javax.faces.context.FacesContext context,
          javax.faces.component.UIComponent component)
```
    Decodes, validates, and stores any new state in the specified resources.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if a decoded form field is not valid. When this happens, the exception message is displayed in the page.
    Parameters:
    formatDescriptor - The scenario file format description.
    resources - The resources to be decoded. The run and download archive actions will be available only if this map is not empty.
    context - The faces context for the request being processed.
    component - The current UI component.
  - encodeAsEditor
```
void encodeAsEditor(ilog.rules.dvs.common.descriptors.IlrScenarioFormatDescriptor formatDescriptor,

                  javax.faces.context.FacesContext context,
                  javax.faces.component.UIComponent component)
                    throws java.io.IOException
```
    Renders the current state of the specified resources as an editor.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - if an input/output error occurs.
    Parameters:
    formatDescriptor - The scenario file format description.
    resources - The resources to be rendered.
    context - The faces context for the request being processed.
    component - The current UI component.

                  javax.faces.context.FacesContext context,
                  javax.faces.component.UIComponent component)
                    throws java.io.IOException
```
    Renders the current state of the specified resources as a viewer.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - if an input/output error occurs.
    Parameters:
