public abstract class Service
extends ManagedIndividual

The root of the hierarchy of service classes in universAAL.

All subclasses must follow the conventions declared by ManagedIndividual.

The main characteristic of services is that they specify their view on their domain by restricting some of the relevant properties from the domain ontology that are reachable from the service class using a sequence of properties. The universAAL middleware calls such sequences a PropertyPath. Subclasses must define a static repository for such restrictions as an empty instance of Hashtable and add their class-level restrictions to this repository a static code segment using the help method addRestriction(MergedRestriction, String[], Hashtable).

In addition to class-level restrictions, concrete instances can add instance-level restrictions using references to their input parameters (see ProcessParameter.asVariableReference() ). The help method addInstanceLevelRestriction(MergedRestriction, String[]) facilitates the addition of such instance-level restrictions.

Method Detail

addRestriction

A help method for subclasses to manage their restrictions on properties (from the domain ontology) that are reachable from the subclass, provided that they have a static Hashtable for gathering them.

Parameters:

r - the restriction to be added on the last element of the path given by 'toPath'.

toPath - the path to which the given restriction must be bound. It must start with a property from the service class and address a reachable property from the domain ontology; the last element of the path must be equal to r.getOnProperty().

restrictions - a class-level static hash-table for managing restrictions

Returns:

true, if all constraints held and the restriction could be added; otherwise, false.

getPropSerializationType

public int getPropSerializationType(String propURI)

Description copied from class: ManagedIndividual

Answers if the given property has to be considered when serializing this individual in a minimized way, and if not ignore-able, whether its value should be presented in its full form or can be reduced. The return value must be one of Resource.PROP_SERIALIZATION_OPTIONAL, Resource.PROP_SERIALIZATION_REDUCED, or Resource.PROP_SERIALIZATION_FULL. It can be assumed that the given property is one of those returned by FinalizedResource.getPropertyURIs(). Decision criterion should be if the value of this property is absolutely necessary when this resource is being sent to a remote node. If the subclass rates it as unlikely that the receiver side would need this info, the answer should be PROP_SERIALIZATION_OPTIONAL in favor of lower communication traffic and higher performance even at risk of a possible additional query on the receiver side for fetching this info. With the same rationale, if a property should be included in the process of serialization, it is preferable to include it in a reduced form; in this case the return value should be PROP_SERIALIZATION_REDUCED, otherwise PROP_SERIALIZATION_FULL can be returned.
