ome.services.query (OMERO API)

Class Summary
Class	Description
AbstractClassIdsOptionsQuery	simple abstract class that provides a common `Definitions` containing: `IdsQueryParameterDef` and `ClassQueryParameterDef`.
ClassQuerySource	creates a query based on the id string by interpreting it as a Class.
CollectionCountQueryDefinition	counts the number of members in a collection.
CollectionQueryParameterDef	extension of `QueryParameterDef` which restricts the `type` to a `Collection`, and specifies the element types of that Collection.
Definitions	container for `QueryParameterDef` instances.
Hierarchy	single-point of entry for walking of OME container hierarchies.
HierarchyNavigator	Query the database for relationships between model objects.
HierarchyNavigatorWrap<T,E>	Convenience class for creating versions of `HierarchyNavigator` with different model object representations.
IObjectClassQuery	simple query subclass which uses the `Parameters.CLASS` parameter value to create a `Criteria` and then adds `Expression` instances based on all other parameter names.
NullQuerySource	always returns null for any id.
PojosFindAnnotationsQueryDefinition
PojosFindHierarchiesQueryDefinition	walks up the hierarchy tree starting at `Image` nodes while fetching various information.
PojosGetImagesByOptionsQueryDefinition
PojosGetImagesQueryDefinition
PojosGetUserImagesQueryDefinition
PojosLoadHierarchyQueryDefinition
Query<T>	base Query type to facilitate the creation of ORM queries.
QueryFactory	query locator which is configured by Spring.
QueryParameterDef	definition of a slot into which a `QueryParameter` must fit.
QuerySource	contract for any source of `queries`.
StringQuery	simple HQL query.
StringQuerySource	interprets the query id as an HQL query.

Package ome.services.query Description

facilitates the creation of Hibernate Queries and Criteria.

ORM solutions like Hibernate, TopLink, and JDO provide mechanisms for storing queries by name for faster lookups. Producing parameterizable queries, however, is far more difficult. The query package intends to make writing such queries as easy as possible.

Effort has been placed into making certain activities, like walking (and fetching) OME hierarchies simpler. These queries are used heavily by the IContainer interface. Also, having this work available in code rather than the Strings of previous methods (XML files, Velocity templates, etc.) allows for significantly more reuse and easier re-factoring.

A second design goal is allowing clients to write queries themselves. Parameters allow for the passing of arbitrary arguments (like named arguments in dynamic languages), and the QueryFactory#lookup mechanism allows for a wide variety of client-definition styles. Probably the most useful is the saving of a QueryDefinition using IUpdate, and the subsequent lookup referring to the queryName. (NYI)

Examples


    QueryFactory factory = new QueryFactory(new StringQuerySource());
    Query q = factory.lookup("select p from Project p",null);
    List allProjects = (List) iQuery.execute( q );


    QueryFactory factory = new QueryFactory(new ClassNameSource());
    Query subclassQ = factory.lookup(PojosFindAnnotationsQueryDefinition.class.getName(),
        new Parameters().addIds(Collections.singleton(1L)).addClass(Image.class));
    Query datasetQ  = factory.lookup(Dataset.class,
        new Parameters( new Filter().unique() ).addString("name","16.3093-A93"));

    List imageAnnotations = (List) iQuery.execute( subclassQ );
    Dataset dataset = (Dataset) iQuery.execute(datasetQ);
