The LatticeOntologySolver that contains this PropertyTermManager.

Constructor Detail

ConceptTermManager

public ConceptTermManager(LatticeOntologySolver solver)

Construct a new ptolemy.graph.InequalityTerm factory.

Parameters:

solver - the LatticeOntologySolver that contains this PropertyTermManager

Method Detail

terms

public java.util.List<InequalityTerm> terms()

Return a list of all the inequality terms contained in the PropertyTermManager.

Returns:

The list of inequality terms for all objects in the model

getConceptTerm

public InequalityTerm getConceptTerm(java.lang.Object object)

Return the property term for the given object. If the given object is null or a property term itself, it returns the given object. Otherwise, it checks its cache if a term object was created previously. Returns the property term if it is found; otherwise, it creates and caches a new property term before returning it.

Specified by:

getConceptTerm in interface ConceptTermFactory

Parameters:

object - The given object.

Returns:

The property term.

getAffectedTerms

public java.util.List<InequalityTerm> getAffectedTerms(InequalityTerm updateTerm)
                                                throws IllegalActionException

Get the list of affected InequalityTerms from the PropertyTermManager. FIXME: Not really sure what this method is used for. It appears to always return an empty ArrayList.

Parameters:

updateTerm - This parameter doesn't appear to be used

Returns:

The list of inequality terms that are affected by the OntologySolver

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If an exception is thrown
