Method Detail

export

void export(AbsoluteCodingSchemeVersionReference source,
            java.net.URI destination,
            boolean overwrite,
            boolean stopOnErrors,
            boolean async)
            throws LBException
Export content from the underlying LexGrid repository. An exception is raised if resources cannot be accessed or another load operation is already in progress.

Parameters:
source - The absolute version identifier of the coding scheme to export.
destination - URI corresponding to the OWL file to write.
overwrite - True indicates to overwrite an existing file if present. False indicates to stop if the destination file already exists.
stopOnErrors - True means stop if any export error is detected. False means attempt to continue writing what can be exported if recoverable errors are encountered.
async - Flag controlling whether export occurs in the calling thread. If true, the export will occur in a separate asynchronous process. If false, this method blocks until the export operation completes or fails. Regardless of setting, the getStatus and getLog calls are used to fetch results.
Throws:
LBException
