Interface ServerConnection

All Superinterfaces:
java.lang.AutoCloseable
public interface ServerConnection
extends java.lang.AutoCloseable
Encapsulates the connection to an RDFox server. The server could be in the same process, or could be a remote server accessed via the RESTful API. All instances of this class are single-threaded — that is, no method should be called simultaneously on several threads. However, please note that there is no thread affinity — that is, methods on one connection can be called from different threads as long as the calls are serialised externally. Methods duplicate() and interrupt() are the exceptions and can be invoked in parallel with any other method apart from close(): calling close() in parallel with any other method runs a high risk of crashing the JVM. Multiple connections should be used to access a server concurrently, in which case all access to the server is serialised. A connection must be closed after use in order to release the resources associated with it.

      Closes the data store connection by freeing all resources associated with it. Once a connection is closed, it cannot be used any further. Calling this method in parallel with any other method runs a very high risk of crashing the JVM.
      Specified by:
      close in interface java.lang.AutoCloseable

    • duplicate

      ServerConnection duplicate() throws JRDFoxException
      Creates a new connection to the same data store. The new connection inherits the role name from this one. The main use of this method is to avoid having to specify the role credentials again. This method can be called concurrently with any other method apart from close().
