Method Detail

load

void load(java.net.URI source,
          java.net.URI manifest,
          int memorySetting,
          boolean stopOnErrors,
          boolean async)
          throws LBException
Load content from a candidate resource. This will also result in implicit generation of standard indices required by the LexBIG runtime.

An exception is raised if resources cannot be accessed or another load operation is already in progress.

Parameters:
source - URI corresponding to the OWL file.
manifest - URI corresponding to the XML document containing load coding scheme manifest list; null if not applicable. Must be a valid xml file for schema http://LexGrid.org/schema/LexBIG/2007/01/CodingSchemeManifestList.xsd
memorySetting - If specified, indicates the profile used to tune memory/performance tradeoffs. Options are: 1 = Faster/more memory (holds OWL in memory) 2 = Slower/less memory (cache OWL to database)
stopOnErrors - True means stop if any load error is detected. False means attempt to load what can be loaded if recoverable errors are encountered.
async - Flag controlling whether load occurs in the calling thread. If true, the load will occur in a separate asynchronous process. If false, this method blocks until the load operation completes or fails. Regardless of setting, the getStatus and getLog calls are used to fetch results.
Throws:
LBException

validate

void validate(java.net.URI source,
              java.net.URI manifest,
              int validationLevel)
              throws LBException
Validate content for a candidate resource without performing a load.

Returns without exception if validation succeeds.

Parameters:
source - URI corresponding to the OWL file.
manifest - URI corresponding to the XML document containing load coding scheme manifest list; null if not applicable. Must be a valid xml file for schema http://LexGrid.org/schema/LexBIG/2007/01/CodingSchemeManifestList.xsd
validationLevel - Supported levels of validation include: 0 = Verify XML is well formed. 1 = Verify XML is valid.
Throws:
LBException
