Constructor Detail

PathSelector

public PathSelector(NodeSelector<Node> left,
            NodeSelector<Node> right)

Method Detail

select

public Collection<Node> select(RDFBackend<Node> rdfBackend,
                      Node context,
                      List<Node> path,
                      Map<Node,List<Node>> resultPaths)

Apply the selector to the context node passed as argument and return the collection of selected nodes in appropriate order.

Specified by:

select in interface NodeSelector<Node>

Parameters:

context - the node where to start the selection

path - the path leading to and including the context node in the current evaluation of LDPath; may be null, in which case path tracking is disabled

resultPaths - a map where each of the result nodes maps to a path leading to the result node in the LDPath evaluation; if null, path tracking is disabled and the path argument is ignored

Returns:

the collection of selected nodes

getPathExpression

public String getPathExpression(NodeBackend<Node> backend)

Description copied from interface: LDPathConstruct

Return the representation of the NodeFunction or NodeSelector in the RDF Path Language

Specified by:

getPathExpression in interface LDPathConstruct<Node>

Returns:

getName

public String getName(NodeBackend<Node> nodeRDFBackend)

Return a name for this selector to be used as the name for the whole path if not explicitly specified. In complex selector expressions, this is typically delegated to the first occurrence of an atomic selector.

Specified by:

getName in interface NodeSelector<Node>

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object
