Constructor Detail

SPARQLRepository

public SPARQLRepository(String endpointUrl)

Create a new SPARQLRepository using the supplied endpoint URL for queries and updates.

Parameters:

endpointUrl - a SPARQL endpoint URL. May not be null.

SPARQLRepository

public SPARQLRepository(String queryEndpointUrl,
                        String updateEndpointUrl)

Create a new SPARQLREpository using the supplied query endpoint URL for queries, and the supplied update endpoint URL for updates.

Parameters:

queryEndpointUrl - a SPARQL endpoint URL for queries. May not be null.

updateEndpointUrl - a SPARQL endpoint URL for updates. May not be null.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if one of the supplied endpoint URLs is null.

Method Detail

getSesameClient

public SesameClient getSesameClient()

Description copied from interface: SesameClientDependent

SesameClient that has been assigned or has been used by this object. The life cycle might not be or might be tied to this object, depending on whether SesameClient was passed to or created by this object respectively.

Specified by:

getSesameClient in interface SesameClientDependent

Returns:

a SesameClient instance or null

setSesameClient

public void setSesameClient(SesameClient client)

Description copied from interface: SesameClientDependent

Assign an SesameClient that this object should use. The life cycle of the given SesameClient is independent of this object. Closing or shutting down this object does not have any impact on the given client. Callers must ensure that the given client is properly closed elsewhere.

Specified by:

setSesameClient in interface SesameClientDependent

getHttpClient

public final org.apache.http.client.HttpClient getHttpClient()

Description copied from interface: HttpClientDependent

HttpClient that has been assigned or has been used by this object. The life cycle might not be or might be tied to this object, depending on whether HttpClient was passed to or created by this object respectively.

Specified by:

getHttpClient in interface HttpClientDependent

Returns:

an HttpClient instance or null

setHttpClient

public void setHttpClient(org.apache.http.client.HttpClient httpClient)

Description copied from interface: HttpClientDependent

Assign an HttpClient that this object should use. The life cycle of the given HttpClient is independent of this object. Closing or shutting down this object does not have any impact on the given client. Callers must ensure that the given client is properly closed elsewhere.

Specified by:

setHttpClient in interface HttpClientDependent

createHTTPClient

protected SparqlSession createHTTPClient()

Creates a new HTTPClient object. Subclasses may override to return a more specific HTTPClient subtype.

Returns:

a HTTPClient object.

getConnection

public RepositoryConnection getConnection()
                                   throws RepositoryException

Description copied from interface: Repository

Opens a connection to this repository that can be used for querying and updating the contents of the repository. Created connections need to be closed to make sure that any resources they keep hold of are released. The best way to do this is to use a try-finally-block as follows:

 Connection con = repository.getConnection();
 try {
        // perform operations on the connection
 }
 finally {
        con.close();
 }
 

Note that RepositoryConnection is not guaranteed to be thread-safe! The recommended pattern for repository access in a multithreaded application is to share the Repository object between threads, but have each thread create and use its own RepositoryConnections.

Specified by:

getConnection in interface Repository

Returns:

A connection that allows operations on this repository.

Throws:

RepositoryException - If something went wrong during the creation of the Connection.

getDataDir

public File getDataDir()

Description copied from interface: Repository

Get the directory where data and logging for this repository is stored.

Specified by:

getDataDir in interface Repository

Returns:

the directory where data for this repository is stored.

getValueFactory

public ValueFactory getValueFactory()

Description copied from interface: Repository

Gets a ValueFactory for this Repository.

Specified by:

getValueFactory in interface Repository

Returns:

A repository-specific ValueFactory.

initializeInternal

protected void initializeInternal()
                           throws RepositoryException

Specified by:

initializeInternal in class AbstractRepository

Throws:

RepositoryException

isWritable

public boolean isWritable()
                   throws RepositoryException

Description copied from interface: Repository

Checks whether this repository is writable, i.e. if the data contained in this repository can be changed. The writability of the repository is determined by the writability of the Sail that this repository operates on.

Specified by:

isWritable in interface Repository

Throws:

RepositoryException

setDataDir

public void setDataDir(File dataDir)

Description copied from interface: Repository

Set the directory where data and logging for this repository is stored.

Specified by:

setDataDir in interface Repository

Parameters:

dataDir - the directory where data for this repository is stored

setUsernameAndPassword

public void setUsernameAndPassword(String username,
                                   String password)

Set the username and password to use for authenticating with the remote repository.

Parameters:

username - the username. Setting this to null will disable authentication.

password - the password. Setting this to null will disable authentication.

shutDownInternal

protected void shutDownInternal()
                         throws RepositoryException

Specified by:

shutDownInternal in class AbstractRepository

Throws:

RepositoryException

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

getAdditionalHttpHeaders

public Map<String,String> getAdditionalHttpHeaders()

Get the additional HTTP headers which will be used

Returns:

a read-only view of the additional HTTP headers which will be included in every request to the server.

setAdditionalHttpHeaders

public void setAdditionalHttpHeaders(Map<String,String> additionalHttpHeaders)

Set additional HTTP headers to be included in every request to the server, which may be required for certain unusual server configurations. This will only take effect on connections subsequently returned by getConnection().

Parameters:

additionalHttpHeaders - a map containing pairs of header names and values. May be null

enableQuadMode

public void enableQuadMode(boolean flag)

Activate quad mode for this SPARQLRepository, i.e. for retrieval of statements also retrieve the graph.

Note: the setting is only applied in newly created SPARQLConnections as the setting is an immutable configuration of a connection instance.

Parameters:

flag - flag to enable or disable the quad mode
