Constructor Detail

CQLRelation

public CQLRelation(String base)

Creates a new CQLRelation with the specified base relation. Typical base relations include the usual six ordering relations (<=, >, etc.), the text relations any, all and exact, the old server-choice relation scr and profiled relations of the form prefix.name.

Method Detail

getBase

public String getBase()

Returns the base relation with which the CQLRelation was originally created.

getModifiers

public List<Modifier> getModifiers()

Returns an array of the modifiers associated with a CQLRelation.

Returns:

An array of Modifier objects.

toCQL

public String toCQL()

Description copied from class: CQLNode

Decompiles a parse-tree into a CQL query.

Specified by:

toCQL in class CQLNode

Returns:

A String containing a CQL query equivalent to the parse-tree whose root is this node, so that compiling that query will yield an identical tree.

toPQF

public String toPQF(Properties config)
             throws PQFTranslationException

Description copied from class: CQLNode

Renders a parse-tree into a Yaz-style PQF string. PQF, or Prefix Query Format, is a cryptic but powerful notation that can be trivially mapped, one-to-one, int Z39.50 Type-1 and Type-101 queries. A specification for the format can be found in Chapter 7 (Supporting Tools) of the YAZ manual.

Specified by:

toPQF in class CQLNode

Parameters:

config - A Properties object containing configuration information that specifies the mapping from CQL indexes, relations, etc. to Type-1 attributes. The mapping specification is described in the CQL-Java distribution's sample PQF-mapping configuration file, etc/pqf.properties, which see.

Returns:

A String containing a PQF query equivalent to the parse-tree whose root is this node.

Throws:

PQFTranslationException

toType1BER

public byte[] toType1BER(Properties config)

Description copied from class: CQLNode

Renders a parser-tree into a BER-endoded packet representing an equivalent Z39.50 Type-1 query. If you don't know what that means, then you don't need this method :-) This is useful primarily for SRW-to-Z39.50 gateways.

Specified by:

toType1BER in class CQLNode

Parameters:

config - A Properties object containing configuration information that specifies the mapping from CQL indexes, relations, etc. to Type-1 attributes. The mapping specification is described in the CQL-Java distribution's sample PQF-mapping configuration file, etc/pqf.properties, which see.

Returns:

A byte array containing the BER packet.
