Method Details

getSignature

public String getSignature()

Description copied from interface: PredicateIF

INTERNAL: Returns a string representing the signature of the predicate. The string consists of a whitespace-separated list of arguments, where each argument is made up of tokens representing the type or cardinality of that argument.

The instance-of predicate would have a signature of "t t", while /= would have ". .", and in would have ". .+". For full details, see topicmaps.impl.utils.ArgumentValidator.

Specified by:

getSignature in interface PredicateIF

getCost

public int getCost(boolean[] boundparams)

Description copied from interface: PredicateIF

INTERNAL.

Specified by:

getCost in interface PredicateIF

satisfy

public QueryMatches satisfy(QueryMatches result,
 Object[] arguments)
                     throws InvalidQueryException

Specified by:

satisfy in interface BasicPredicateIF

Throws:

InvalidQueryException

start

protected abstract void start()

INTERNAL: Called before the evaluation of a new query, to allow resetting of internal caches etc.

getClasses

protected abstract Collection getClasses(TopicIF instance)

INTERNAL: Should return all applicable types of the given topic. In 'instance-of' this includes the supertypes of the topic's types.

getInstances

protected abstract Collection getInstances(TopicIF klass)

INTERNAL: Should return all instances of the topic, as seen by the specific predicate.

getTypes

protected abstract Collection getTypes()

INTERNAL: Should return all topic types, as seen by the specific predicate.

getSupertypes

protected abstract Collection getSupertypes(TopicIF type)

INTERNAL: Should return all supertypes of the given class, including the class itself. In 'direct-instance-of' this should just be the class itself.

getDirectInstances

protected Collection getDirectInstances(TopicIF classes)

INTERNAL: Should return all instances of the topic, as seen by the specific predicate.
