net.ontopia.topicmaps.utils.NameGrabber
All Implemented Interfaces:
Function<TopicIF,NameIF>

public class NameGrabber extends Object implements Function<TopicIF,NameIF>
INTERNAL: Grabber that grabs the most suitable name from a topic, measured by whether it contains a particular theme in its scope. If the topic has a variant name with the given theme the belonging basename will be chosen. If not, the base name in the least constrained scope will be chosen.

      public NameGrabber(LocatorIF themeIndicator)
      INTERNAL: Creates the grabber and sets the comparator to be a ScopedIFComparator using the least constrained scope. Grabs names that have the topic defined by the given PSI locator in their scope. By default the theme is used in the variant scope.

    • apply

      public NameIF apply(TopicIF topic)
      INTERNAL: Grabs the most appropiate base name (or if grabOnlyTopicName is false allow also to return the most appropiate VariantIF instance). The name returned is the first suitable base name belonging to a variant name found, when the basenames of the give topic have been sorted using the comparator. If there is no suitable base name belonging to a variant name, then the last base name found is returned, corresponding to the least constrained scope.
      Specified by:
      apply in interface Function<TopicIF,NameIF>
      Parameters:
      object - The topic whose name is being grabbed; formally an object.
      Returns:
      A name to display; an object implementing TopicNameIF (or VariantNameIF, see above) or null if the topic has no basenames.
