      • loadSPARQLEndpoint

        public static Endpoint loadSPARQLEndpoint​(String name,
                                                  String endpoint)
                                           throws FedXException
        Construct a SPARQL endpoint using the the provided information.
        Parameters:
        name - a descriptive name, e.g. http://dbpedia
        endpoint - the URL of the SPARQL endpoint, e.g. http://dbpedia.org/sparql
        Returns:
        an initialized EndpointBase containing the repository
        Throws:
        FedXException
      • loadSPARQLEndpoint

        public static Endpoint loadSPARQLEndpoint​(String endpoint)
                                           throws FedXException
        Construct a SPARQL endpoint using the the provided information and the host of the url as name.
        Parameters:
        endpoint - the URL of the SPARQL endpoint, e.g. http://dbpedia.org/sparql
        Returns:
        an initialized EndpointBase containing the repository
        Throws:
        FedXException
      • loadEndpoint

        public static Endpoint loadEndpoint​(String id,
                                            Repository repository)
                                     throws FedXException
        Load an Endpoint for a given (configured) Repository.

        Note that EndpointType is set to EndpointType.Other

        If the repository is already initialized, it is assumed that the lifecycle is managed externally. Otherwise, FedX will make sure to take care for the lifecycle of the repository, i.e. initialize and shutdown.

        Parameters:
        id - the identifier, e.g. "myRepository"
        repository - the constructed repository
        Returns:
        the initialized endpoint
        Throws:
        FedXException
      • loadNativeEndpoint

        public static Endpoint loadNativeEndpoint​(String name,
                                                  File location)
                                           throws FedXException
        Construct a NativeStore endpoint using the provided information.

        If the repository location denotes an absolute path, the native store directory must already exist. If a relative path is used, the repository is created on the fly (if necessary).

        Parameters:
        name - a descriptive name, e.g. http://dbpedia
        location - the location of the data store, either absolute or relative in a "repositories" subfolder SailRepository.getDataDir()
        Returns:
        an initialized endpoint containing the repository
        Throws:
        FedXException
      • loadNativeEndpoint

        public static Endpoint loadNativeEndpoint​(File location)
                                           throws FedXException
        Construct a NativeStore endpoint using the provided information and the file location as name.

        If the repository location denotes an absolute path, the native store directory must already exist. If a relative path is used, the repository is created on the fly (if necessary).

        Parameters:
        location - the location of the data store
        Returns:
        an initialized endpoint containing the repository
        Throws:
        FedXException
      • getId

        public static String getId​(String endpointID,
                                   String type)
        Construct a unique id for the provided SPARQL Endpoint, e.g http://dbpedia.org/ => %type%_dbpedia.org
        Parameters:
        endpointID -
        type - the repository type, e.g. native, sparql, etc
        Returns:
        the ID for the SPARQL endpoint
