Interface ServerConnection

All Superinterfaces:
java.lang.AutoCloseable
public interface ServerConnection
extends java.lang.AutoCloseable
Encapsulates a connection to an RDFox server. 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 serialized externally. The interrupt(), duplicate(), and newDataStoreConnection(String dataStoreName) methods are exceptions: they can be invoked in parallel with any other method apart from close(). Calling close() in parallel with any other method will almost certainly crash the JVM. Multiple connections should be used to access a server concurrently, in which case all access to the server is serialized. A connection must be closed after use to release the resources associated with it.

  • Field Details

  • Method Details

    • close

      void close()
      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.

    • loadDataStoreFromBinaryFormat

      void loadDataStoreFromBinaryFormat​(java.lang.String dataStoreName, java.io.InputStream inputStream, java.lang.String decryptionAlgorithm, java.lang.String decryptionKey, java.util.Map<java.lang.String,​java.lang.String> dataStoreParameters) throws JRDFoxException
      Loads a data store with the given name from an input stream containing the store saved in the standard or raw format. If dataStoreParameters is not null, the loaded data store will be initialised using the specified parameters, which are the same as in the createDataStore(java.lang.String, java.util.Map<java.lang.String, java.lang.String>) method. Please note that, if the * input contains a data store in the raw format, the parameters must be exactly the same as in the input. In contrast, if the input contains a data store in the standard format, most parameters (apart from the equality mode) can be overridden; hence, this method can be used to transfer the data from one data store to another. If decryptionKey is not null, its content will be interpreted as a base64-encoded key that is to be used to decrypt the input data. The server should not contain a data store with the specified name. If the decryption key is specified but a decryption algorithm is not, then AES-256-CBC is used.
      Parameters:
      dataStoreName - the name of the newly created data store
      inputStream - contains the data store encoded using the standard or the raw format
      decryptionAlgorithm - null, or the name of the algorithm used to decrypt the input data
      decryptionKey - null, or a base64-encoded key that is to be used to decrypt the input data
      dataStoreParameters - null, or the key-value pairs determining various data store parameters (see Data Store Parameters)
      Throws:
      JRDFoxException - thrown if an error is encountered (e.g., if the server already contains a data store with the given name, or if the file format is incorrect)

    • loadDataStoreFromBinaryFormat

      void loadDataStoreFromBinaryFormat​(java.lang.String dataStoreName, java.io.File file, java.lang.String decryptionAlgorithm, java.lang.String decryptionKey, java.util.Map<java.lang.String,​java.lang.String> dataStoreParameters) throws JRDFoxException
      Loads a data store with the given name from a file containing the store saved in the standard or raw format. If dataStoreParameters is not null, the loaded data store will be initialised using the specified parameters, which are the same as in the createDataStore(java.lang.String, java.util.Map<java.lang.String, java.lang.String>) method. Please note that, if the * input contains a data store in the raw format, the parameters must be exactly the same as in the input. In contrast, if the input contains a data store in the standard format, most parameters (apart from the equality mode) can be overridden; hence, this method can be used to transfer the data from one data store to another. If decryptionKey is not null, its content will be interpreted as a base64-encoded key that is to be used to decrypt the input data. The server should not contain a data store with the specified name. If the decryption key is specified but a decryption algorithm is not, then AES-256-CBC is used.
      Parameters:

      file - contains the data store encoded using the standard or the raw format
      decryptionAlgorithm - null, or the name of the algorithm used to decrypt the input data
