Class Polyadic

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Graph, GraphWithPerform
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    MultiUnion

    public abstract class Polyadic
    extends CompositionBase

    A base class for composition graphs that are composed from zero or more sub-graphs (thus providing a basis for polyadic composition operators). A distinguished graph is the designated graph for additions to the union. By default, this is the first sub-graph of the composition, however any of the graphs in the composition can be nominated to be the distinguished graph.

    • Constructor Detail

      • Polyadic

        public Polyadic()

        Construct a composition of exactly no sub graphs.

      • Polyadic

        public Polyadic​(Graph[] graphs)

        Construct a composition of all of the given graphs

        Parameters:
        graphs - An array of the sub-graphs of this composition
      • Polyadic

        public Polyadic​(java.util.Iterator<Graph> graphs)

        Construct a composition of all of the given graphs.

        Parameters:
        graphs - An iterator of the sub-graphs of this composition. If graphs is a closable iterator, it will be automatically closed.
    • Method Detail

      • dependsOn

        public boolean dependsOn​(Graph graph)

        Answer true if this graph contains the given graph as a sub-component.

        Specified by:
        dependsOn in interface Graph
        Overrides:
        dependsOn in class GraphBase
        Parameters:
        graph - A graph to test
        Returns:
        True if the graph is this graph, or is a sub-graph of this one.

      • addGraph

        public void addGraph​(Graph graph)

        Add the given graph to this composition.

        Parameters:
        graph - A sub-graph to add to this composition
      • removeGraph

        public void removeGraph​(Graph graph)

        Remove the given graph from this composition. If the removed graph is the designated updateable graph, the updatable graph goes back to the default for this composition.

        Parameters:
        graph - A sub-graph to remove from this composition
      • getBaseGraph

        public Graph getBaseGraph()

        Answer the distinguished graph for the composition, which will be the graph that receives triple adds and deletes. If no base graph is defined, return null.

        Returns:
        The distinguished updateable graph, or null if there are no graphs in this composition
      • getRequiredBaseGraph

        public Graph getRequiredBaseGraph()

        Answer the distinguished graph for the composition, which will be the graph that receives triple adds and deletes. If no base graph is defined, throw a JenaException.

        Returns:
        The distinguished updateable graph, or null if there are no graphs in this composition
      • setBaseGraph

        public void setBaseGraph​(Graph graph)

        Set the designated updateable graph for this composition.

        Parameters:
        graph - One of the graphs currently in this composition to be the designated graph to receive udpates
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if graph is not one of the members of the composition
      • getSubGraphs

        public java.util.List<Graph> getSubGraphs()

        Answer a list of the graphs other than the updateable (base) graph

        Returns:
        A list of all of the sub-graphs, excluding the base graph.
      • getCapabilities

        public Capabilities getCapabilities()
        Description copied from class: GraphBase
        Answer the capabilities of this graph; the default is an AllCapabilities object (the same one each time, not that it matters - Capabilities should be immutable).
        Specified by:
        getCapabilities in interface Graph
        Overrides:
        getCapabilities in class GraphBase
