getServiceURL

public java.lang.String getServiceURL()

Return the service URL state for this data source.

Returns:

The service URL state for this data source

isAvailable

public boolean isAvailable()

Returns:

true if this data source is up, false otherwise. This returns true, even if the datasource is in read only mode and config updates are not available.

isOnline

public boolean isOnline()

Returns the cached availability of this data domain. This call relied on the previously established availability status, and will not re-test or update the status. It will not result in waking an idle data domain. If status refresh is desired, use the isAvailable() method.

Returns:

true if the data domain was available at last check

getQueryState

public QueryState getQueryState()
                         throws DataSourceException

Retrieve the current query state on this data source.

Returns:

the query state

Throws:

DataSourceException

setQueryState

public void setQueryState(QueryState newState)
                   throws DataSourceException

Set the state of this data source. The exact manner in which this method effects stored QueryState depends heavily on what MDEX State Manager you have configured.

Parameters:

newState - The new state to "push"

Throws:

DataSourceException

getInitialQueryState

public QueryState getInitialQueryState()
                                throws DataSourceException

Retrieve the base QueryState on this data source, which is the InitialQueryState + baseFilte

Returns:

The query state initially configured on this data source and base filter included

Throws:

DataSourceException

resetQueryState

public void resetQueryState()
                     throws DataSourceException

Reset the data source's query state to what it's initial state was.

Throws:

DataSourceException

resetVisibleQueryState

public void resetVisibleQueryState()
                            throws DataSourceException

Removes only "visible" query filters from all collections. Used, for example, for Searchbox when search within is unchecked and search is submitted against "All Data".

Throws:

DataSourceException

resetVisibleQueryState

public void resetVisibleQueryState(CollectionBaseView collection)
                            throws DataSourceException

Removes only "visible" query filters from a single collection. Used, for example, by Breadcrumbs Reset and Searchbox when search within is unchecked and search is submitted against a single data set. Requirements of this variant of reset are as follows: 1) Invoking this method will do the equivalent of clicking the delete "x" next to each item in the visible breadcrumbs. That is, it does NOT clear all of the filter state for all data sets. It clears the items you're seeing. 2) Invoking this method also resets base filter(s) to their default state. There is only one base filter per data set. 3) Only visible filters will be removed. Any filters in the query state that the breadcrumbs does not know how to display will be left alone. In other words, if a user created/deployed a custom query function (e.g. MySpecialFooBarLineItemFilter extends QueryFunction), that, too, would not be removed since it's not something we consider "visible" and know how to display. You'd have to deploy your own component to show those and allow adding/editing/removing those.

Parameters:

collection - the CollectionBaseView from whose query state to remove visible filters

Throws:

DataSourceException

public QueryResults execute()
                     throws DataSourceException

clearMetadataCaches

public void clearMetadataCaches()

Clears the caches associated with this datasource. Because attributes, attribute groups, and entities are inter-dependent, if you update attributes or attribute groups, you should use this method to update all three items so they are consistent with each other.

Parse an LQL Filter string and return a parsed ExpressionBase object form of that string. An example of a filter is "P_Price < 50". The syntax matches the syntax in the WHERE clause of an LQL Query expression, without the "WHERE". This method should parse and type-check the expression, so if you use an attribute that does not exist, it will throw a ParserFault. The returned objects can be used in the DataSourceFilter and SelectionFilter QueryFunctions. This method internally calls parseLQLFilter(String).

Parameters:

expression - String that represents the filter

Returns:

ExpressionBase object representation of the filter

Throws:

com.endeca.mdex.eql_parser.types.ParserFault - if the filter has a syntax or type-checking error a ParserFault will be thrown

DataSourceException - any non-expected exception

Parse an EQL Query string and return a parsed object form of that string. An example of a query is "RETURN results as SELECT AVG(P_Cost) as P_Cost WHERE P_Price < 50 GROUP BY P_Year". When validationEnabled is set to true, this method should parse and type-check the expression. So if you use an attribute that does not exist or do a comparison that using the wrong types it will throw a ParserFault. When validationEnabled is set to false, type-checking is disabled.

Parameters:

query - String that represents the query

validationEnabled - boolean to enable/disable query validation

Returns:

QueryWithAttributeMetadata object containing the parsed EQLQuery AST as well as metadata about the attributes defined by the query

Throws:

com.endeca.mdex.eql_parser.types.ParserFault - if the filter has a syntax or type-checking error a ParserFault will be thrown

DataSourceException - any non-expected exception
