public interface Operation
An operation (e.g. a query or an update) on a repository that can be formulated in one of the supported query languages (for example SPARQL). It allows one to predefine bindings in the operation to be able to reuse the same operation with different bindings.

    Removes all previously set bindings.
    Retrieves the bindings that have been set on this operation.
    Gets the dataset that has been set using setDataset(Dataset), if any.
    boolean
    Returns whether or not this operation will return inferred statements (if any are present in the repository).

    void
    setIncludeInferred(boolean includeInferred)
    Determine whether evaluation results of this operation should include inferred statements (if any inferred statements are present in the repository).
    void
    setMaxExecutionTime(int maxExecutionTimeSeconds)
    Specifies the maximum time that an operation is allowed to run.
  • Method Details

    • setBinding

      void setBinding(String name, Value value)
      Binds the specified variable to the supplied value. Any value that was previously bound to the specified value will be overwritten.
      Parameters:
      name - The name of the variable that should be bound.
      value - The (new) value for the specified variable.
    • removeBinding

      void removeBinding(String name)
      Removes a previously set binding on the supplied variable. Calling this method with an unbound variable name has no effect.
      Parameters:
      name - The name of the variable from which the binding is to be removed.
    • clearBindings

      void clearBindings()
      Removes all previously set bindings.
    • getBindings

      BindingSet getBindings()
      Retrieves the bindings that have been set on this operation.
      Returns:
      A (possibly empty) set of operation variable bindings.
      See Also:
    • setDataset

      void setDataset(Dataset dataset)
      Specifies the dataset against which to execute an operation, overriding any dataset that is specified in the operation itself.
    • getDataset

      Dataset getDataset()
      Gets the dataset that has been set using setDataset(Dataset), if any.
    • setIncludeInferred

      void setIncludeInferred(boolean includeInferred)
      Determine whether evaluation results of this operation should include inferred statements (if any inferred statements are present in the repository). The default setting is 'true'.
      Parameters:
      includeInferred - indicates whether inferred statements should be included in the result.
    • getIncludeInferred

      boolean getIncludeInferred()
      Returns whether or not this operation will return inferred statements (if any are present in the repository).
      Returns:
      true if inferred statements will be returned, false otherwise.
    • setMaxExecutionTime

      void setMaxExecutionTime(int maxExecutionTimeSeconds)
      Specifies the maximum time that an operation is allowed to run. The operation will be interrupted when it exceeds the time limit. Any consecutive requests to fetch query results will result in QueryInterruptedExceptions or UpdateExecutionExceptions (depending on whether the operation is a query or an update).
      Parameters:
      maxExecutionTimeSeconds - The maximum query time, measured in seconds. A negative or zero value indicates an unlimited execution time (which is the default).
    • getMaxExecutionTime

      int getMaxExecutionTime()
      Returns the maximum operation execution time.
      Returns:
      The maximum operation execution time, measured in seconds.
