Method Detail

createPredicate

public PredicateIF createPredicate(String name)

Description copied from interface: PredicateFactoryIF

INTERNAL: Looks up a built-in predicate by its name.

Specified by:

createPredicate in interface PredicateFactoryIF

createPredicate

public PredicateIF createPredicate(ParsedRule rule)

Description copied from interface: PredicateFactoryIF

INTERNAL: Creates a rule predicate for the parsed rule.

Specified by:

createPredicate in interface PredicateFactoryIF

createPredicate

public PredicateIF createPredicate(TopicIF type,
                                   boolean assoc)

Description copied from interface: PredicateFactoryIF

INTERNAL: Creates a dynamic predicate for the given topic; either an association predicate or an occurrence predicate, depending on the value of the assoc parameter.

Specified by:

createModule

public ModuleIF createModule(String uri)

Description copied from interface: PredicateFactoryIF

INTERNAL: Creates a module instance for the specified URI. If the predicate factory does not recognize the URI null is returned.

Specified by:

createModule in interface PredicateFactoryIF

isBuiltInPredicate

public boolean isBuiltInPredicate(String name)

Description copied from interface: PredicateFactoryIF

INTERNAL: Used to find out if the given predicate name is the name of a built-in predicate. Needed for error checking, see bug #1082.
