Constructor Detail

Typematch

public Typematch(String byTypeURI)

Recommended for use by SimpleRequests and SimpleProfiles. Value used to define types to match as arguments of a Request.

Parameters:

byTypeURI - The URI of the type that you want to match (you can get it with NameOfClass.MY_URI)

Typematch

@Deprecated
public Typematch(Object byValue)

Deprecated.

Value used to define types to match as arguments of a Request.

DEPRECATED: The use of this constructor is discouraged as it behaves differently to other constructors of SimpleValues that take instance values. This one uses the passed value to extract its type, not to specify it as explicit instance.

This is a helper constructor that takes an instance of the type you want and extracts its type. The value of the instance is irrelevant, it's just intended for situations in which you already have an instance which type you want to match.

Parameters:

byValue - An instance of which type you want to match.

Method Detail

getURI

public String getURI()

This is only supposed to be used internally.

Returns:

The type URI to match
