Package org.eclipse.rdf4j.repository.http

Class HTTPRepository

java.lang.Object
org.eclipse.rdf4j.repository.base.AbstractRepository
org.eclipse.rdf4j.repository.http.HTTPRepository
All Implemented Interfaces:
HttpClientDependent, SessionManagerDependent, Repository
public class HTTPRepository extends AbstractRepository implements HttpClientDependent, SessionManagerDependent
A repository that serves as a client for a remote repository on an RDF4J Server. Methods in this class may throw the specific RepositoryException subclass UnauthorizedException, the semantics of which is defined by the HTTP protocol.

This repository client uses a RDF4J-specific extension of the SPARQL 1.1 Protocol to communicate with the server. For communicating with a SPARQL endpoint that is not based on RDF4J, it is recommended to use SPARQLRepository instead.

    • setDataDir

      public void setDataDir​(File dataDir)
      Description copied from interface: Repository
      Set the directory where data and logging for this repository is stored.

      setDataDir in interface Repository
      Parameters:
      dataDir - the directory where data for this repository is stored

    • getDataDir

      public File getDataDir()
      Description copied from interface: Repository
      Get the directory where data and logging for this repository is stored.
      Specified by:
      getDataDir in interface Repository
      Returns:
      the directory where data for this repository is stored.

    • getHttpClientSessionManager

      public HttpClientSessionManager getHttpClientSessionManager()
      Description copied from interface: SessionManagerDependent
      HttpClientSessionManager that has been assigned or has been used by this object. The life cycle might not be or might be tied to this object, depending on whether HttpClientSessionManager was passed to or created by this object respectively.
      Specified by:
      getHttpClientSessionManager in interface SessionManagerDependent
      Returns:
      a HttpClientSessionManager instance or null

    • setHttpClientSessionManager

      public void setHttpClientSessionManager​(HttpClientSessionManager client)
      Description copied from interface: SessionManagerDependent
      Assign an HttpClientSessionManager that this object should use. The life cycle of the given HttpClientSessionManager is independent of this object. Closing or shutting down this object does not have any impact on the given client. Callers must ensure that the given client is properly closed elsewhere.
      Specified by:
      setHttpClientSessionManager in interface SessionManagerDependent

    • getAdditionalHttpHeaders

      public Map<String,​String> getAdditionalHttpHeaders()
      Get the additional HTTP headers which will be used
      Returns:
      a read-only view of the additional HTTP headers which will be included in every request to the server.

    • setAdditionalHttpHeaders

      public void setAdditionalHttpHeaders​(Map<String,​String> additionalHttpHeaders)
      Set additional HTTP headers to be included in every request to the server, which may be required for certain unusual server configurations. This will only take effect on connections subsequently returned by getConnection().
      Parameters:
      additionalHttpHeaders - a map containing pairs of header names and values. May be null

    • getHttpClient

      public final org.apache.http.client.HttpClient getHttpClient()
      Description copied from interface: HttpClientDependent
      HttpClient that has been assigned or has been used by this object. The life cycle might not be or might be tied to this object, depending on whether HttpClient was passed to or created by this object respectively.
      Specified by:
      getHttpClient in interface HttpClientDependent
      Returns:
      an HttpClient instance or null

    • setHttpClient

      public void setHttpClient​(org.apache.http.client.HttpClient httpClient)
      Description copied from interface: HttpClientDependent
      Assign an HttpClient that this object should use. The life cycle of the given HttpClient is independent of this object. Closing or shutting down this object does not have any impact on the given client. Callers must ensure that the given client is properly closed elsewhere.
      Specified by:
      setHttpClient in interface HttpClientDependent

    • getValueFactory

      public ValueFactory getValueFactory()
      Description copied from interface: Repository
      Gets a ValueFactory for this Repository.
      Specified by:
      getValueFactory in interface Repository
      Returns:
      A repository-specific ValueFactory.

    • getConnection

      public RepositoryConnection getConnection() throws RepositoryException
      Description copied from interface: Repository
      Opens a connection to this repository that can be used for querying and updating the contents of the repository. Created connections need to be closed to make sure that any resources they keep hold of are released. The best way to do this is to use a try-with-resources block, as follows: 
       try (RepositoryConnection conn = repository.getConnection()) {
        // perform operations on the connection
 }
      Note that RepositoryConnection is not guaranteed to be thread-safe! The recommended pattern for repository access in a multi-threaded application is to share the Repository object between threads, but have each thread create and use its own RepositoryConnections.
      Specified by:
      getConnection in interface Repository
      Returns:
      A connection that allows operations on this repository.
      Throws:
      RepositoryException - If something went wrong during the creation of the Connection.

    • isWritable

      public boolean isWritable() throws RepositoryException
      Description copied from interface: Repository
      Checks whether this repository is writable, i.e. if the data contained in this repository can be changed. The writability of the repository is determined by the writability of the Sail that this repository operates on.
      Specified by:
      isWritable in interface Repository
      Throws:
      RepositoryException

    • setPreferredTupleQueryResultFormat

      public void setPreferredTupleQueryResultFormat​(TupleQueryResultFormat format)
      Sets the preferred serialization format for tuple query results to the supplied TupleQueryResultFormat, overriding the SPARQLProtocolSession 's default preference. Setting this parameter is not necessary in most cases as the SPARQLProtocolSession by default indicates a preference for the most compact and efficient format available.
      Parameters:
      format - the preferred TupleQueryResultFormat. If set to 'null' no explicit preference will be stated.

    • getPreferredTupleQueryResultFormat

      public TupleQueryResultFormat getPreferredTupleQueryResultFormat()
      Indicates the current preferred TupleQueryResultFormat.
      Returns:
      The preferred format, of 'null' if no explicit preference is defined.

    • setPreferredRDFFormat

      public void setPreferredRDFFormat​(RDFFormat format)
      Sets the preferred serialization format for RDF to the supplied RDFFormat, overriding the SPARQLProtocolSession's default preference. Setting this parameter is not necessary in most cases as the SPARQLProtocolSession by default indicates a preference for the most compact and efficient format available.

      Use with caution: if set to a format that does not support context serialization any context info contained in the query result will be lost.

      Parameters:
      format - the preferred RDFFormat. If set to 'null' no explicit preference will be stated.

    • getPreferredRDFFormat

      public RDFFormat getPreferredRDFFormat()
      Indicates the current preferred RDFFormat.
      Returns:
      The preferred format, of 'null' if no explicit preference is defined.

    • setUsernameAndPassword

      public void setUsernameAndPassword​(String username, String password)
      Set the username and password to use for authenticating with the remote repository.
      Parameters:
      username - the username. Setting this to null will disable authentication.
      password - the password. Setting this to null will disable authentication.

    • getRepositoryURL

      public String getRepositoryURL()

    • initializeInternal

      protected void initializeInternal() throws RepositoryException
      Specified by:

    • createHTTPClient

      protected RDF4JProtocolSession createHTTPClient()
      Creates a new RDF4JProtocolSession object.
      Returns:
      a RDF4JProtocolSession object.
