Class SpecificationBuilder

java.lang.Object

org.eclipse.incquery.patternlanguage.emf.specification.SpecificationBuilder

public class SpecificationBuilder
extends java.lang.Object

An instance class to initialize PBody instances from Pattern definitions. A single instance of this builder is used during construction, that maintains the mapping between Pattern and PQuery objects, and can be initialized with a pre-defined set of mappings.

The SpecificationBuilder is stateful: it stores all previously built specifications, allowing further re-use.

Sets up a query builder with a predefined set of specifications

SpecificationBuilder

public SpecificationBuilder(java.util.Collection<? extends IQuerySpecification<? extends IncQueryMatcher<? extends IPatternMatch>>> specifications)

Sets up a query builder with a predefined collection of specifications

public SpecificationBuilder(NameToSpecificationMap patternMap)

Method Detail

getOrCreateSpecification

public IQuerySpecification<? extends IncQueryMatcher<? extends IPatternMatch>> getOrCreateSpecification(Pattern pattern)
                                                                                                 throws IncQueryException

Creates a new or returns an existing query specification for the pattern. It is expected, that the builder will not be called with different patterns having the same fqn over its entire lifecycle.

Parameters:

pattern -

Throws:

IncQueryException

getOrCreateSpecification

public IQuerySpecification<? extends IncQueryMatcher<? extends IPatternMatch>> getOrCreateSpecification(Pattern pattern,
                                                                                                        boolean skipPatternValidation)
                                                                                                 throws IncQueryException

Creates a new or returns an existing query specification for the pattern. It is expected, that the builder will not be called with different patterns having the same fqn over its entire lifecycle.

Parameters:

pattern -

skipPatternValidation - if set to true, detailed pattern validation is skipped - true for model inferrer; not recommended for generic API

Throws:

IncQueryException

getOrCreateSpecification

public IQuerySpecification<? extends IncQueryMatcher<? extends IPatternMatch>> getOrCreateSpecification(Pattern pattern,
                                                                                                        java.util.List<IQuerySpecification<?>> createdPatternList,
                                                                                                        boolean skipPatternValidation)
                                                                                                 throws IncQueryException

Throws:

IncQueryException

buildBodies

public java.util.Set<PBody> buildBodies(Pattern pattern,
                                        InitializablePQuery query)
                                 throws QueryInitializationException

Throws:

QueryInitializationException

getBodies

public java.util.Set<PBody> getBodies(Pattern pattern,
                                      PQuery query)
                               throws QueryInitializationException

Throws:

QueryInitializationException

getSpecification

public IQuerySpecification<?> getSpecification(Pattern pattern)

getSpecification

public IQuerySpecification<?> getSpecification(java.lang.String fqn)

forgetSpecification

public void forgetSpecification(IQuerySpecification<?> specification)

Forgets a specification in the builder.

Warning! Removing a specification does not change any specification created previously, even if they are referring to the old version of the specification. Only use this if you are sure all dependant queries are also removed, otherwise use forgetSpecificationTransitively(IQuerySpecification) instead.

forgetSpecificationTransitively

public java.util.Set<IQuerySpecification<?>> forgetSpecificationTransitively(IQuerySpecification<?> specification)

Forgets a specification in the builder, and also removes anything that depends on it.

Parameters:

specification -
