Method Details

getQueryResultFormat

QueryResultFormat getQueryResultFormat()

Gets the query result format that this writer uses.

handleNamespace

void handleNamespace(String prefix,
 String uri)
              throws QueryResultHandlerException

Handles a namespace prefix declaration. If this is called, it should be called before startDocument() to ensure that it has a document wide effect.

NOTE: If the format does not support namespaces, it must silently ignore calls to this method.

Parameters:

prefix - The prefix to use for the namespace

uri - The full URI that is to be represented by the prefix.

Throws:

QueryResultHandlerException

startDocument

void startDocument()
            throws QueryResultHandlerException

Indicates the start of the document.

Throws:

QueryResultHandlerException - If there was an error starting the writing of the results.

handleStylesheet

void handleStylesheet(String stylesheetUrl)
               throws QueryResultHandlerException

Handles a stylesheet URL. If this is called, it must be called after startDocument() and before startHeader().

NOTE: If the format does not support stylesheets, it must silently ignore calls to this method.

Parameters:

stylesheetUrl - The URL of the stylesheet to be used to style the results.

Throws:

QueryResultHandlerException - If there was an error handling the stylesheet. This error is not thrown in cases where stylesheets are not supported.

startHeader

void startHeader()
          throws QueryResultHandlerException

Indicates the start of the header.

Throws:

QueryResultHandlerException - If there was an error writing the start of the header.

endHeader

void endHeader()
        throws QueryResultHandlerException

Indicates the end of the header. This must be called after startHeader() and before any calls to QueryResultHandler.handleSolution(BindingSet).

Throws:

QueryResultHandlerException - If there was an error writing the end of the header.

setWriterConfig

void setWriterConfig(WriterConfig config)

Sets all supplied writer configuration options.

Parameters:

config - a writer configuration object.

getWriterConfig

WriterConfig getWriterConfig()

Retrieves the current writer configuration as a single object.

Returns:

a writer configuration object representing the current configuration of the writer.

getSupportedSettings

Collection<RioSetting<?>> getSupportedSettings()

Returns:

A collection of RioSettings that are supported by this QueryResultWriter.
