The AnalysisApplication class

The AnalysisApplication Class

The AnalysisApplication class represents an active analysis session in Spotfire. In Spotfire Web Player an instance is created for each active Web Player session. It owns the root node of the Document. It therefore receives any unresolved service request traversing up the nodes of the document as GetService() calls.

  • Spotfire Document
    The Document orders runtime objects into an object graph. It provides access to all nodes in the application.

  • Spotfire Application Event Handler
    The Spotfire API provides an extension point for creating event handlers associated with the application. The only event currently available fires when the application is started. Its intended usage is to automatically load data or initate a custom workflow. It can also be used to register event handlers for the DocumentChanged event. Such handlers can, for instance, be used to add custom nodes to the document when it is opened.
