public class RepositoryFindRelationshipsIterator
extends Object

RepositoryFindEntitiesIterator is an iterator class for iteratively retrieving relationships based on a search criteria. 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 methodName)

Constructor takes the parameters used to call the repository handler.

Parameters:

repositoryHandler - interface to the open metadata repositories.

userId - user making the request

relationshipTypeGUID - String unique identifier for the relationship type of interest (null means any relationship type).

relationshipSubtypeGUIDs - optional list of the unique identifiers (guids) for subtypes of the relationshipTypeGUID to include in the search results. Null means all subtypes.

searchProperties - Optional list of relationship property conditions to match.

limitResultsByStatus - By default, entities in all statuses are returned. However, it is possible to specify a list of statuses (eg ACTIVE) to restrict the results to. Null means all status values.

asOfTime - Requests a historical query of the relationship. Null means return the present values.

sequencingProperty - String name of the relationship property that is to be used to sequence the results. Null means do not sequence on a property name (see SequencingOrder).

sequencingOrder - Enum defining how the results should be ordered.

startingFrom - initial position in the stored list.

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

methodName - name of calling method

Method Detail

moreToReceive

public boolean moreToReceive()
                      throws UserNotAuthorizedException,
                             PropertyServerException

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

Returns:

boolean flag

Throws:

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 UserNotAuthorizedException,
                            PropertyServerException

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

Returns:

relationship or null

Throws:

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

PropertyServerException - there is a problem in the repository
