Constructor Detail

AbsPredicate

public AbsPredicate(java.lang.String typeName)

Construct an Abstract descriptor to hold a predicate of the proper type (e.g. FATHER_OF, WORKS_FOR...).

Parameters:

typeName - The name of the type of the predicate held by this abstract descriptor.

Method Detail

set

public void set(java.lang.String name,
                AbsObject value)

Sets an attribute of the predicate held by this abstract descriptor.

Overrides:

set in class AbsObjectImpl

Parameters:

name - The name of the attribute to be set.

value - The new value of the attribute.

getAbsTerm

public AbsTerm getAbsTerm(java.lang.String name)

Gets the value (casted as an AbsTerm) of an attribute of the predicate held by this abstract descriptor. This method is here mainly for backward compatibility.

Parameters:

name - The name of the attribute.

Returns:

value The value of the attribute.

set

public void set(java.lang.String name,
                java.lang.String value)

Utility method that allows setting attributes of type String without the need of wrapping the new value into an AbsPrimitive.

Parameters:

name - The name of the attribute to be set.

value - The new value of the attribute.

set

public void set(java.lang.String name,
                boolean value)

Utility method that allows setting attributes of type boolean without the need of wrapping the new value into an AbsPrimitive.

Parameters:

name - The name of the attribute to be set.

value - The new value of the attribute.

set

public void set(java.lang.String name,
                int value)

Utility method that allows setting attributes of type int without the need of wrapping the new value into an AbsPrimitive.

Parameters:

name - The name of the attribute to be set.

value - The new value of the attribute.

set

public void set(java.lang.String name,
                long value)

Utility method that allows setting attributes of type long without the need of wrapping the new value into an AbsPrimitive.

Parameters:

name - The name of the attribute to be set.

value - The new value of the attribute.

set

public void set(java.lang.String name,
                float value)
