AbstractValueFactory (OpenRDF Sesame 4.0.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.openrdf.model.impl.AbstractValueFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

ValueFactory

Direct Known Subclasses:

MemValueFactory, SimpleValueFactory, ValueFactoryBase, ValueStore
```
public abstract class AbstractValueFactory
extends Object
implements ValueFactory
```
Abstract base class for ValueFactory implementations. It implements all basic Value creation methods by using the default implementations (SimpleBNode, SimpleIRI, etc), and type-optimized subclasses (e.g. BooleanLiteral, NumericLiteral) where possible.

  - createIRI
```
public IRI createIRI(String iri)
```
    Description copied from interface: ValueFactory
    
    Creates a new IRI from the supplied string-representation.

    createIRI in interface ValueFactory
    
    Parameters:
    
    iri - A string-representation of a IRI.
    
    Returns:

```
    Description copied from interface: ValueFactory
    
    Creates a new IRI from the supplied namespace and local name. Calling this method is funtionally equivalent to calling createIRI(namespace+localName), but allows the ValueFactory to reuse supplied namespace and local name strings whenever possible. Note that the values returned by IRI.getNamespace() and IRI.getLocalName() are not necessarily the same as the values that are supplied to this method.
    
    Specified by:
    
    createIRI in interface ValueFactory
    
    Parameters:
    
    namespace - The IRI's namespace.

    Parameters:
    
    nodeID - The blank node identifier.
