public Federation()

Method Detail

getDataDir

public File getDataDir()

Description copied from interface: Sail

Gets the Sail's data directory.

Specified by:

getDataDir in interface Sail

See Also:

Sail.setDataDir(File)

setDataDir

public void setDataDir(File dataDir)

Description copied from interface: Sail

Sets the data directory for the Sail. The Sail can use this directory for storage of data, parameters, etc. This directory must be set before the Sail is initialized.

Specified by:

setDataDir in interface Sail

getValueFactory

public ValueFactory getValueFactory()

Description copied from interface: Sail

Gets a ValueFactory object that can be used to create URI-, blank node-, literal- and statement objects.

Specified by:

getValueFactory in interface Sail

Returns:

a ValueFactory object for this Sail object.

isWritable

public boolean isWritable()
                   throws SailException

Description copied from interface: Sail

Checks whether this Sail object is writable, i.e. if the data contained in this Sail object can be changed.

Specified by:

isWritable in interface Sail

Throws:

SailException

addMember

public void addMember(Repository member)

getLocalPropertySpace

public PrefixHashSet getLocalPropertySpace()

Returns:

PrefixHashSet or null

setLocalPropertySpace

public void setLocalPropertySpace(Collection<String> localPropertySpace)

isDistinct

public boolean isDistinct()

setDistinct

public void setDistinct(boolean distinct)

isReadOnly

public boolean isReadOnly()

setReadOnly

public void setReadOnly(boolean readOnly)

initialize

public void initialize()
                throws SailException

Description copied from interface: Sail

Initializes the Sail. Care should be taken that required initialization parameters have been set before this method is called. Please consult the specific Sail implementation for information about the relevant parameters.

Specified by:

initialize in interface Sail

Throws:

SailException - If the Sail could not be initialized.

shutDown

public void shutDown()
              throws SailException

Description copied from interface: Sail

Shuts down the Sail, giving it the opportunity to synchronize any stale data. Care should be taken that all initialized Sails are being shut down before an application exits to avoid potential loss of data. Once shut down, a Sail can no longer be used until it is re-initialized.

Specified by:

shutDown in interface Sail

Throws:

SailException - If the Sail object encountered an error or unexpected situation internally.

execute

public void execute(Runnable command)

Required by Executor interface.

Specified by:

execute in interface Executor

getConnection

public SailConnection getConnection()
                             throws SailException

Description copied from interface: Sail

Opens a connection on the Sail which can be used to query and update data. Depending on how the implementation handles concurrent access, a call to this method might block when there is another open connection on this Sail.

Specified by:

getConnection in interface Sail

Throws:

SailException - If no transaction could be started, for example because the Sail is not writable.
