public class RepositoryEntitiesIterator
extends RepositoryIteratorForEntities

RepositoryEntitiesIterator is an iterator class for iteratively retrieving entities (possibly restricting the type of entities returned). It is used where the caller needs to filter the results coming from the repository and may need to make more than one call to the repository in order to accumulate the number of requested results. Note this class is intended for a single request's use - it is not thread-safe.

                           throws InvalidParameterException

Constructor takes the parameters used to call the repository handler.

Parameters:

repositoryHandler - interface to the open metadata repositories.

invalidParameterHandler - invalid parameter handler

userId - user making the request

entityTypeGUID - identifier for the relationship to follow

entityTypeName - type name for the relationship to follow

sequencingPropertyName - name of property used to sequence the results - null means no sequencing

limitResultsByStatus - only return elements that have the requested status (null means all statuses

limitResultsByClassification - only return elements that have the requested classification(s)

forLineage - the request is to support lineage retrieval this means entities with the Memento classification can be returned

forDuplicateProcessing - the request is for duplicate processing and so must not deduplicate

startingFrom - initial position in the stored list.

pageSize - maximum number of definitions to return on this call.

effectiveTime - the time that the retrieved elements must be effective for

methodName - name of calling method

Throws:

InvalidParameterException - when page size or start from parameters do not meet criteria

moreToReceive

public boolean moreToReceive()
                      throws InvalidParameterException,

PropertyServerException

Determine if there is more to receive. It will populate the iterator's cache with more content.

Specified by:

moreToReceive in class RepositoryIteratorForEntities

Returns:

boolean flag
