public class GeneralQueryBuilder
extends ANetricsQueryBuilderBuilderBase

Generalized query builder class. The query built by this query builder class is defined by an XML configuration file. The XML supports building almost any single table query structure.

In addition to the standard query builder operations this class supports generating and compiling java classes that build the queries defined by the XML file.

                                         java.lang.IllegalStateException

Configure this object from an input stream. This is called to initialize an object created with the default constructor. It expects to read from the input stream a valid GeneralBuilderConfig item.

Overrides:

setConfiguration in class com.netrics.likeit.ANetricsQueryBuilder

Parameters:

config_stream - this must be an open stream containing a valid XML GeneralBuilderConfig item.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if config_stream is null, or does not contain a GeneralBuilderConfig XML as the top level item.

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if this object is already initialized.

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

setConfiguration

                                         java.lang.IllegalStateException

Configure this object from a configuration source. This is called to initialize an object created with the default constructor. It reads configuration data from a file source. The file source is opened with the current file manager. The default manager expects a source to be a standard file name or path.

Overrides:

setConfiguration in class com.netrics.likeit.ANetricsQueryBuilder

Parameters:

config_src - this must be file source containing a valid GeneralBuilderConfig XML element.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if config_src is null, is not an existing, readable source, or does not contain a GeneralBuilderConfig XML as the top level item.

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if this object is already initialized.

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

setConfiguration

public java.lang.Object setConfiguration(java.io.File config_file)
                                  throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException,
                                         java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException,
                                         java.lang.IllegalStateException

Configure this object from a configuration file. This is called to initialize an object created with the default constructor.

Overrides:

setConfiguration in class com.netrics.likeit.ANetricsQueryBuilder

Parameters:

config_file - this must be an XML file containing a valid GeneralQueryBuilder element.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if config_file is null, is not an existing, readable file, or does not contain a GeneralBuilderConfig XML as the top level item.

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if this object is already initialized.

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

setConfiguration

public void setConfiguration(java.lang.Object config_object)
                      throws java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException,
                             java.lang.IllegalArgumentException,
                             java.lang.IllegalStateException

Configure this object from a GeneralQueryBuilderConfig object. This is called to initialize an object created with the default constructor.

Overrides:

setConfiguration in class com.netrics.likeit.ANetricsQueryBuilder

Parameters:

config_object - this must be a valid GeneralBuilderConfig object.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if config_object is null, is not an instance of GeneralBuilderConfig or is invalid.

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if this object is already initialized.

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

getQuery

public com.netrics.likeit.NetricsQuery getQuery()
                                         throws java.lang.IllegalStateException,

Specified by:

getQuery in class com.netrics.likeit.ANetricsQueryBuilder

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if this object is not initialized, or if the GeneralQueryBuilder is based on a user class, or if any feature uses a custom query class, or if the field values are not set.

java.lang.Exception - on other errors.

setFileMgr

public void setFileMgr(IQBPFileMgr file_manager)

Set the file manager used by this query builder. A file manager is used to enforce access restrictions on configuration files. It can also be used to enable reading of configuration data from non standard sources, such as a DBMS or a web-service.

Parameters:

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if file_manager is null.

Returns:

true if successful, false otherwise.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if any argument is null.

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if this object is not initialized.

AQBPLogger.QBPException - if exception mode is on and an error is encountered or if a fatal error is encountered. Otherwise all errors are logged without throwing an exception.

installCustomClasses

public boolean installCustomClasses(java.io.File generated_class_directory,
                                    AQBPLogger logger)

                                    AQBPLogger.QBPException

Install the custom classes for this query builder. This copies any custom query classes into the class directory.

Parameters:

generated_class_directory - this is the root directory where the custom class files are placed. This directory must exist. Class files are copied into sub-directories under this directory following standard java package directory conventions. The sub-directories are created as needed.

logger - a logger used to log all messages and errors.

Returns:

true if installed successfully, false otherwise.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if any argument is null.
