Method Detail

getChronicle

public ch.agent.crnickl.api.Chronicle getChronicle(ch.agent.crnickl.api.Surrogate surrogate)
                                            throws ch.agent.crnickl.T2DBException

Find a chronicle corresponding to a surrogate. An exception is thrown if there is no such chronicle.

Parameters:

surrogate - a surrogate

Returns:

a chronicle, never null

ch.agent.crnickl.T2DBException

getChronicleOrNull

public ch.agent.crnickl.api.Chronicle getChronicleOrNull(ch.agent.crnickl.api.Chronicle parent,
                                                         String name)
                                                  throws ch.agent.crnickl.T2DBException

Find a chronicle with a given parent and name.

Parameters:

parent - a chronicle

name - a string

Returns:

a chronicle or null

Throws:

ch.agent.crnickl.T2DBException

getChroniclesByParent

public Collection<ch.agent.crnickl.api.Chronicle> getChroniclesByParent(ch.agent.crnickl.api.Chronicle parent)
                                                                 throws ch.agent.crnickl.T2DBException

Return the collection of chronicles with a given direct parent.

Parameters:

parent - a chronicle

Returns:

a collection of chronicles, possibly empty, never null

Throws:

ch.agent.crnickl.T2DBException

getAttributeValue

public boolean getAttributeValue(List<ch.agent.crnickl.api.Chronicle> chronicles,
                                 ch.agent.crnickl.api.Attribute<?> attribute)
                          throws ch.agent.crnickl.T2DBException

The method completes the attribute with the value found for one of the entities in the list and returns true. If no value was found, the method return false. If more than value was found, the one selected corresponds to the first entity encountered in the list.

Parameters:

attribute - an attribute

Returns:

true if any value found

Throws:

ch.agent.crnickl.T2DBException

getChroniclesByAttributeValue

public <T> List<ch.agent.crnickl.api.Chronicle> getChroniclesByAttributeValue(ch.agent.crnickl.api.Property<T> property,
                                                                              T value,

Return a list of chronicles with a given value for a given property.

Parameters:

property - a property

value - a value

maxSize - the maximum size of the result or 0 for no limit

Returns:

a list of chronicles, possibly empty, never null

Throws:

ch.agent.crnickl.T2DBException

getSeries

public <T> ch.agent.crnickl.api.Series<T> getSeries(ch.agent.crnickl.api.Surrogate surrogate)
                                             throws ch.agent.crnickl.T2DBException

Find a series corresponding to a surrogate.

Parameters:

surrogate - a surrogate

Returns:

a series or null

Throws:

ch.agent.crnickl.T2DBException

getSeries

public <T> ch.agent.crnickl.api.Series<T>[] getSeries(ch.agent.crnickl.api.Chronicle chronicle,
                                                      String[] names,
                                                      int[] numbers)
                                               throws ch.agent.crnickl.T2DBException

Return array of series in the positions corresponding to the requested numbers. These numbers are series numbers within the schema, not the series keys in the database. When a requested number in the array is non-positive, the corresponding series will be null in the result. A series can also be null when the requested number is positive but the series has no data and has not been set up in the database (and therefore has no series database key).

Parameters:

chronicle - a chronicle

names - an array of simple names to plug into the series

numbers - an array of numbers

Returns:

an array of series

Throws:

ch.agent.crnickl.T2DBException
