Method Detail

getValidate

public boolean getValidate()

setValidate

public void setValidate(boolean validate)

read

public TopicMapIF read()
                throws IOException

Description copied from interface: TopicMapReaderIF

PUBLIC: Reads the next topic map available from some implicit, implementation dependent source.

A topic map source may contain multiple topic maps. The read method returns the next topic map that is available from that source. null is returned when there are no more topic maps available. In a sense this is iterator-like behaviour.

Specified by:

read in interface TopicMapReaderIF

Returns:

The next topic map read from the source; an object implementing TopicMapIF. null is returned when there are no more topic maps available from the source.

Throws:

IOException - Thrown if reading the source fails.

importInto

public void importInto(TopicMapIF topicmap)
                throws IOException

Description copied from interface: TopicMapReaderIF

PUBLIC: Imports an implicitly designated topic map into the given topic map.

Specified by:

importInto in interface TopicMapReaderIF

Parameters:

topicmap - The topic map into which the import will be done; an object implementing TopicMapIF.

Throws:

IOException

readAll

public Collection readAll()
                   throws IOException

Description copied from interface: TopicMapReaderIF

PUBLIC: Reads all the topic map available from some implicit, implementation dependent source.

A topic map source may contain multiple topic maps. The readAll method returns a collection contain all the topic maps available from the source.

Specified by:

readAll in interface TopicMapReaderIF

Returns:

A collection containing all the topic maps read from the source; objects implementing TopicMapIF.

Throws:

IOException - Thrown if reading the source fails.

setAdditionalProperties

public void setAdditionalProperties(Map<String,Object> properties)

Sets additional properties for the TMXMLReader. Only accepts the property "validate", which corresponds to the setValidate(boolean) method. Only accepts a boolean value.

Specified by:

setAdditionalProperties in interface TopicMapReaderIF

Parameters:

properties -
