Class AbstractTopicMapReader

    • Method Detail

      • getReader

        public Reader getReader()
      • setReader

        public void setReader​(Reader reader)
      • getBaseAddress

        public LocatorIF getBaseAddress()
        PUBLIC: Gets the top level base address of the input source.
      • setBaseAddress

        public void setBaseAddress​(LocatorIF base_address)
        PUBLIC: Sets the top level base address of the input source.

        The top level base address is used to resolve relative addresses during input source processing. This property need not be set if the input source specifies the base address.

      • getStoreFactory

        public TopicMapStoreFactoryIF getStoreFactory()
        PUBLIC: Gets the store factory which will be used to create stores.
      • setStoreFactory

        public void setStoreFactory​(TopicMapStoreFactoryIF store_factory)
        PUBLIC: Sets the store factory which will be used to create stores.

        Default: InMemoryStoreFactory

        Parameters:
        store_factory - The store factory to use. If the parameter is null the default store factory will be used.
      • read

        public TopicMapIF read()
                        throws IOException
        Description copied from interface: TopicMapReaderIF
        PUBLIC: Reads the next topic map available from some implicit, implementation dependent source.

        A topic map source may contain multiple topic maps. The read method returns the next topic map that is available from that source. null is returned when there are no more topic maps available. In a sense this is iterator-like behaviour.

        Specified by:
        read in interface TopicMapReaderIF
        Returns:
        The next topic map read from the source; an object implementing TopicMapIF. null is returned when there are no more topic maps available from the source.
        Throws:
        IOException - Thrown if reading the source fails.
      • readAll

        public Collection<TopicMapIF> readAll()
                                       throws IOException
        Description copied from interface: TopicMapReaderIF
        PUBLIC: Reads all the topic map available from some implicit, implementation dependent source.

        A topic map source may contain multiple topic maps. The readAll method returns a collection contain all the topic maps available from the source.

        Specified by:
        readAll in interface TopicMapReaderIF
        Returns:
        A collection containing all the topic maps read from the source; objects implementing TopicMapIF.
        Throws:
        IOException - Thrown if reading the source fails.
      • importInto

        public void importInto​(TopicMapIF topicmap)
                        throws IOException
        Description copied from interface: TopicMapReaderIF
        PUBLIC: Imports an implicitly designated topic map into the given topic map.
        Specified by:
        importInto in interface TopicMapReaderIF
        Parameters:
        topicmap - The topic map into which the import will be done; an object implementing TopicMapIF.
        Throws:
        IOException
