Method Detail

getNotation

public java.lang.String getNotation()

Description copied from interface: LocatorIF

PUBLIC: Gets the locator notation. The default notation is URI. Ontopia will never use notation names which begin with 'x-'. Notation names are case-insensitive.

Note that only the URI notation is supported in release OKS 4.0 and newer.

Specified by:

getNotation in interface LocatorIF

getAddress

public java.lang.String getAddress()

Description copied from interface: LocatorIF

PUBLIC: Returns the locator address in absolute and normalized form. Whether addresses are case-sensitive or not depends on the locator notation.

Specified by:

getAddress in interface LocatorIF

resolveAbsolute

public LocatorIF resolveAbsolute(java.lang.String address)

Description copied from interface: LocatorIF

PUBLIC: Given a locator address string that is relative to this locator, return an absolute locator. If the input locator address is absolute the returned locator object will simply contain that absolute locator address.

Specified by:

resolveAbsolute in interface LocatorIF

getExternalForm

public java.lang.String getExternalForm()

Description copied from interface: LocatorIF

PUBLIC: Returns the address of the locator in external form; that is, with special characters that need to be escaped escaped using the escape syntax of the locator notation.

Specified by:

getExternalForm in interface LocatorIF

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Description copied from class: AbstractLocator

PUBLIC: Returns the hashcode of the address property. All subclasses of AbstractLocator must use the same hashCode implementation in order to guarantee interoperability. E.g. when looking up LocatorIFs in Maps.

Overrides:

hashCode in class AbstractLocator

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object object)

Description copied from class: AbstractLocator

PUBLIC: Two LocatorIFs are considered equal if they have the same address and notation properties.

Overrides:

equals in class AbstractLocator

_getAddress

public java.lang.String _getAddress()

_setAddress

public void _setAddress(java.lang.String address)

writeExternal

public void writeExternal(java.io.ObjectOutput out)
                   throws java.io.IOException

Specified by:

writeExternal in interface java.io.Externalizable

Throws:

java.io.IOException

readExternal

public void readExternal(java.io.ObjectInput in)
                  throws java.io.IOException,
                         java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Specified by:

readExternal in interface java.io.Externalizable

Throws:

java.io.IOException

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException
