public class RepositoryRelationshipsIterator
extends RepositoryIterator

RepositoryRelationshipsIterator is an iterator class for iteratively retrieving relationships for a starting entity (possibly restricting the type of relationships 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.

 String relationshipTypeName,
 int selectionEnd,
 boolean forLineage,

 int startingFrom,
 int pageSize,
 Date effectiveTime,
 String methodName)
                                throws InvalidParameterException

Constructor if entity not already retrieved. It 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

startingEntity - starting entity

startingEntityTypeName - starting entity's type name

relationshipTypeGUID - identifier for the relationship to follow

relationshipTypeName - type name for the relationship to follow

selectionEnd - 0 means either end, 1 means only take from end 1, 2 means only take from end 2

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

forDuplicateProcessing - is this retrieve part of duplicate processing?

startingFrom - initial position in the stored list.

pageSize - maximum number of definitions to return by this iterator.

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

Method Details

moreToReceive

public boolean moreToReceive()
                      throws InvalidParameterException,
UserNotAuthorizedException,
PropertyServerException

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

Returns:

boolean flag

Throws:

InvalidParameterException - bad parameter

UserNotAuthorizedException - the repository is not allowing the user to access the metadata

PropertyServerException - there is a problem in the repository

getNext

public Relationship getNext()
                     throws InvalidParameterException,
UserNotAuthorizedException,
PropertyServerException

Return the next relationship. It returns null if nothing left to retrieve.

Returns:

relationship or null

Throws:

InvalidParameterException - bad parameter

UserNotAuthorizedException - the repository is not allowing the user to access the metadata

PropertyServerException - there is a problem in the repository
