public class WeatherStation
extends AbstractWeatherSurveyor
implements WeatherPredicting, WeatherListener, RmiWeatherReporting, Initializable
```
A class acting as a conductor of several WeatherSensors. Acts as a weather event listener and weather event caster but considers a whole bunch of weather sensors for generating only a single weather event. This changes the behavior in a way that weather events are now only generated if the combined vote of all sensor changes.

On construct the provided properties are scanned for the KEY_LIST. This should point to a file in the users personal java configuration directory Path where the names of the properties files for all sensor that comprise this weather station should be listed. Each entriy found is then used to generated a new Map object and pass it to the AbstractSensor.createSensor(java.util.Map<java.lang.String, java.lang.String>) factory method. Additinally to the normal sensor construction the sensor properties are scanned for the necessity to register additional (sensors) to allow the weather judging capabilities of the newly generated sensor to unfold. Note that for RS485Sensors a PollingRS485Server has to be passed to the weather station prior to retrieving sensor data.
Note that this class is intended to use local sensors, but serves remote weather listeners.
This class serves remote error listeners.

  - WeatherStation
```
public WeatherStation(Map<String,String> qualify)
```
    Constructs a new weather station. The list of all weather sensors to listen to is generated from the properties. If the KEY_LIST is present it is used with higher priority as the KEY_FILE. The latter one should only be used if the list of sensors is so long that a comma-separated list is confusing.
    The list of error listenerers and weather listeners is cleared.
    To comprise all weather sensors into a distinct group a ThreadGroup is created.
    
    Parameters:
    
    qualify - The properties of this weather station.
- Method Detail
  - init
```
public void init()
```
    Initializes this weather station. This means reading the list file and converting the file names found in the list to sensor properties. The PropertySupplying.KEY_CLASS entry is used by the factory method AbstractSensor.createSensor(java.util.Map<java.lang.String, java.lang.String>) to create new sensor instances. All entries are converted into weather sensors using a constructor that takes a single properties file as an argument. This implies that all subclasses of WeatherSensor must provide a constructor with a Map object as the argument!.
    If the construction is successful the weather station registers itself as a weather listener to the newly created weather sensor and starts them within the sensor thread group. It maps the new sensor to a false boolean in the weather-conditions lookup table. If the sensor requires additional information to judge the weather situation the appropriate (sensors) objects are registered and can be querried by the get...SideInfoFor() methods.
    Default bindings of the sensors are unimportant because all sensors must be locally accessible.
    
    Specified by:
    
    init in interface Initializable
    
    Parameters:
    
    list - of Files, holding all the weather sensor properties to listen to.
    
    Throws:
    
    InitException
  - addFromFile
```
private Telemetering addFromFile(String prop)
```
    Scans the resources for the properties given by a file name. If properties are found, a new tlemetering instance is created and added to the look-up table.
    
    Returns:
    
    The newly created sensor.
  - crossRegister
```
private void crossRegister()
```
    Go thru the entire list of sensor and cross-register them if they are sensor depending.
  - exit
```
public void exit()
```
    Exits the weather station and all sensors that are ExitCleaning instances. If the KEY_DUMP property points to a file, the exit values of all sensors are written into that file.
    
    Specified by:
    
    exit in interface ExitCleaning
    
    Overrides:
    
    exit in class AbstractRmiCaster
  - registerSensorDriver
```
public void registerSensorDriver(Driver drv)
```
    Registers an instance of a polling rs485 server to all sensors that are instances of RS485Sensor. The method parses through the set of weather sensors and registers the rs485 server to all sensors that can be cast to the RS485Sensor type.
    If RS485Sensors are served within this weather station this method should be called before the sensors are started with startSensors(). If at least one sensor is of the RS485-type and the serial port is not already opened this method tries to open the serial port.
    
    Specified by:
    
    registerSensorDriver in interface WeatherSurveying
  - startSensors
```
public void startSensors()
```
    Starts all weather sensors. This is separated from the construction phase to allow certain initialization steps to be performed prior to the actual start of sensor-data retrieval.
    
    Specified by:
    
    startSensors in interface WeatherSurveying
  - registerGlobals
```
public void registerGlobals(GlobalGrouping set)
```
    Registers a GlobalGrouping instance to this weather station. If any sensor within the weather station is cluster depending, it receives this cluster. If we have ParameterDepending sensor in the station, they get all sensors within the cluster.
    This method should always be called after the sensors has been constructed, before actually starting the sensors.
    
    Specified by:
    
    registerGlobals in interface GlobalDepending
  - weatherChanged
```
public void weatherChanged(WeatherEvent we)
```
    The receiver method of weather events. The weather station acts like a buffer for weather changes. It can generate weather events but only if the combined vote of all weather sensors in the weather station require a weather change. I.e. if the weather is bad and an additional sensor reports bad weather no weather event is generated. Only two toggle situations produce a weather event:
    - All sensors have been in clear state and one sensor throws a bad weather event.
    - All sensor except one are in the clear state and the offending sensor throws a good weather event.
    Note that in both of the above cases a single weather event will be the event trigger. The source of this trigger event is copied to the source field of the weather event generated by the weather station.
    Specified by:
    
    weatherChanged in interface WeatherListener
  - getCurrentWeather
```
public WeatherEvent getCurrentWeather()
```
    Returns a weather event reflecting the current weather conditions. This method is intended to be used only at or shortly after start-up before any weather events have been reported.
    The weather event returned leaves its WeatherEvent.getReason() undefined.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getCurrentWeather in interface WeatherSurveying
  - getCurrentlyRetarding
```
public int getCurrentlyRetarding()
```
    Returns the number of currently retarding sensors.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getCurrentlyRetarding in interface WeatherSurveying
  - getRemainsBadMinimum
```
public long getRemainsBadMinimum()
```
    Returns the time in ms the weather will stay bad for sure. In an implementation consiting of a couple of served WeatherJudging instances, this method can return the maximum of all WeatherJudging.getMinClearUpTime().
    
    Specified by:
    
    getRemainsBadMinimum in interface WeatherPredicting
  - getRemainsBadMaximum
```
public long getRemainsBadMaximum()
```
    throws UnsupportedOperationException();
    
    Specified by:
    
    getRemainsBadMaximum in interface WeatherPredicting
  - getRemainsGoodMinimum
```
public long getRemainsGoodMinimum()
```
    throws UnsupportedOperationException(); Returns the time in ms the weather will stay good.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getRemainsGoodMinimum in interface WeatherPredicting
  - getRemainsGoodMaximum
```
public long getRemainsGoodMaximum()
```
    Returns the time in ms the weather will stay good maximally (e.g until next sun rise).
    
    Specified by:
    
    getRemainsGoodMaximum in interface WeatherPredicting
  - check
```
private boolean check()
```
    Checks if all weather sensor report clear weather. Returns false as soon as one sensor reports bad weather conditions or has not reported in. If for the first time we have a vote of all sensors, a weather event is generated anyhow.
    This method notifies the weather listeners only on one occasion:
    1. If not all sensors have reported in, and the weather was either not determined before or was good before.
  - getRemoteProperties

```
protected void notifyWeatherListener(WeatherEvent we)
```
    Notifies all registered WeatherListeners. This method parses through the Vector of WeatherListeners and passes the argument to their weatherChanged method. Additionally, this method sets the boolean trigger of the current weather condition to the value of the weather event's WeatherEvent.isGood() flag.
    
    Overrides:
    
    notifyWeatherListener in class AbstractWeatherSurveyor
    
    Parameters:
    
    we - The WeatherEvent to pass to the Listeners.
