Jump to: navigation, search

This section provides information regarding how to interact with Resource Registry Service for Query and Access. REST and JAVA API are presented for each functionality.

Please note that the provided examples can intentionally hide some details in the response to avoid unneeded complexity.

Query & Access

Query & Access exposes the safe methods available in the dedicated collection plus 2 APIs dedicated to query the instances.

  • Access To Contexts:
    • List Contexts: it allows enumerating the contexts;
    • Read Context: it allows reading a context;
  • Access To Types
    • Read Type: it allows reading a Type. This API also allows listing type and its subtypes by indicating the query parameter polymorphic=true.
  • Access To Instances
    • List Instances: it allows listing instances of a specific type;
    • Exists Instance: it allows checking if an instance exists in a specific context;
    • Read Instace: it allows getting the representation of the requested instance in a specific context;
    • Get Instance Contexts: it allows getting the list of contexts an instance belongs to;
  • Access Query Templates
    • List Query Templates: it allows listing query templates;
    • Read Query Template: it allows reading a specific query template;
  • Query
    • Prepared Query: it allows querying the graph in respect to the model;
    • JSON Query: it allows querying the raw graph in respect to the model using a JSON representation of the query;
    • Raw Query: it allows querying the raw graph used to represent the model in the backend.


This page will not present the APIs already available in the dedicated collection. Please check the dedicated page. The reason to expose the safe method already available in the dedicated collection is security reasons.

Resource Registry Client

Resource Registry Client is a java library providing RPC facilities to interact with Query & Access Collection. The library hides all the complexity of marshalling and unmarshalling of requests and results. By using this library any client is able to manage java classes instead of JSON objects.

To use the Java library to interact with [#Query & Access Collection | Query & Access Collection]] declare the following dependency in your pom.xml file. 

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.gcube.information-system</groupId>
	<artifactId>resource-registry-client</artifactId>
	<version>[4.0.0,5.0.0-SNAPSHOT)</version>
<dependency>

To use the client you just need to instantiate the client via the provided factory. 

import org.gcube.informationsystem.resourceregistry.client.ResourceRegistryClient;
import org.gcube.informationsystem.resourceregistry.client.ResourceRegistryClientFactory;
 
...
 
ResourceRegistryClient resourceRegistryClient = ResourceRegistryClientFactory.create();

APIs

Prepared Query

This APIs allows getting a list of resources respecting some constraints.

Prepared Query via Java client

public <R extends Resource, C extends ConsistsOf<?,?>, F extends Facet> List<R> getResourcesFromReferenceFacet(Class<R> resourceClass, Class<C> consistsOfClass, F referenceFacet, boolean polymorphic) throws ResourceRegistryException;
 
public <R extends Resource, C extends ConsistsOf<?,?>, F extends Facet> List<R> getResourcesFromReferenceFacet(Class<R> resourceClass, Class<C> consistsOfClass, Class<F> facetClass, UUID referenceFacetUUID, boolean polymorphic) throws ResourceRegistryException;
 
public String getResourcesFromReferenceFacet(String resourceType, String consistsOfType, String facetType, UUID referenceFacetUUID, boolean polymorphic) throws ResourceRegistryException;
 
 
 
public <R extends Resource, C extends ConsistsOf<?,?>, F extends Facet> List<R> getFilteredResources(Class<R> resourceClass, Class<C> consistsOfClass, Class<F> facetClass, boolean polymorphic, Map<String,String> facetConstraint) throws ResourceRegistryException;
 
public String getFilteredResources(String resourceType, String consistsOfType, String facetType, boolean polymorphic, Map<String,String> facetConstraint) throws ResourceRegistryException;
 
 
 
public <R extends Resource, I extends IsRelatedTo<?,?>, RR extends Resource> List<R> getRelatedResourcesFromReferenceResource(Class<R> resourceClass, Class<I> isRelatedToClass, RR referenceResource, Direction direction, boolean polymorphic) throws ResourceRegistryException;
 
public <R extends Resource, I extends IsRelatedTo<?,?>, RR extends Resource> List<R> getRelatedResourcesFromReferenceResource(Class<R> resourceClass, Class<I> isRelatedToClass, Class<RR> referenceResourceClass, UUID referenceResourceUUID, Direction direction, boolean polymorphic) throws ResourceRegistryException;
 
public String getRelatedResourcesFromReferenceResource(String resourceType, String isRelatedToType, String referenceResourceType, UUID referenceResourceUUID, Direction direction, boolean polymorphic) throws ResourceRegistryException;
 
 
 
public <R extends Resource, I extends IsRelatedTo<?,?>, RR extends Resource> List<R> getRelatedResources(Class<R> resourceClass, Class<I> isRelatedToClass, Class<RR> referenceResourceClass, Direction direction, boolean polymorphic) throws ResourceRegistryException;
 
public String getRelatedResources(String resourceType, String isRelatedToType, String referenceResourceType, Direction direction, boolean polymorphic) throws ResourceRegistryException;
Prepared Query via Java client Example 1

All the EService identified by a SoftwareFacet. 

ResourceRegistryClient resourceRegistryClient = ResourceRegistryClientFactory.create();
 
List<EService> list = resourceRegistryClient.getFilteredResources(EService.class, IsIdentifiedBy.class, SoftwareFacet.class, true, null);

An alternative API is 

ResourceRegistryClient resourceRegistryClient = ResourceRegistryClientFactory.create();
 
String jsonString = resourceRegistryClient.getFilteredResources("EService", "IsIdentifiedBy", "SoftwareFacet", true, null);
List<EService> list = ElementMapper.unmarshalList(EService.class, jsonString);

The direction can only be out because IsIdentifiedBy is an out relation (it is a ConsistsOf) form EService.

The EService schema imposes the SoftwareFacet with IsIdentifiedBy, so this query has the same result of getting all the EService instances.

Prepared Query via Java client Example 2

The EService identified By the SoftwareFacet with UUID 97984812-90e6-4eb7-b804-50a9ad3fe4fb.

UUID uuid = UUID.fromString("97984812-90e6-4eb7-b804-50a9ad3fe4fb");
List<EService> list = resourceRegistryClient.getResourcesFromReferenceFacet(EService.class, IsIdentifiedBy.class, SoftwareFacet.class, uuid, true);

Alternative APIs are 

ResourceRegistryClient resourceRegistryClient = ResourceRegistryClientFactory.create();
 
SoftwareFacet softwareFacetInstance = new SoftwareFacetImpl();
UUID uuid = UUID.fromString("97984812-90e6-4eb7-b804-50a9ad3fe4fb");
Header header = new HeaderImpl(uuid);
softwareFacetInstance.setHeader(header);
List<EService> list = resourceRegistryClient.getResourcesFromReferenceFacet(EService.class, IsIdentifiedBy.class, softwareFacetInstance, true);


ResourceRegistryClient resourceRegistryClient = ResourceRegistryClientFactory.create();
 
UUID uuid = UUID.fromString("97984812-90e6-4eb7-b804-50a9ad3fe4fb");
String jsonString = resourceRegistryClient.getResourcesFromReferenceFacet("EService", "IsIdentifiedBy", "SoftwareFacet", uuid, true);

An alternative API is 

ResourceRegistryClient resourceRegistryClient = ResourceRegistryClientFactory.create();
 
String jsonString = resourceRegistryClient.getRelatedResources("EService", "Hosts", "HostingNode", Direction.IN, true);
List<EService> list = ElementMapper.unmarshalList(EService.class, jsonString);
Prepared Query via Java client Example 8

All the EService having an incoming (IN) Hosts relation (i.e. hosted by) the HostingNode with UUID 16032d09-3823-444e-a1ff-a67de4f350a.

In other words, it returns all the EService running on the HostingNode with UUID 16032d09-3823-444e-a1ff-a67de4f350a.. 

ResourceRegistryClient resourceRegistryClient = ResourceRegistryClientFactory.create();

String jsonString = resourceRegistryClient.getRelatedResourcesFromReferenceResource("EService", "Hosts", "HostingNode", uuid, Direction.IN, true);
List<EService> list = ElementMapper.unmarshalList(EService.class, jsonString);

Prepared Query via REST API

Prepared Query via REST API Example 1

All the EService identified by a SoftwareFacet.

Request URL 

GET /access/query/EService/IsIdentifiedBy/SoftwareFacet?_polymorphic=true&_direction=out

The direction can only be out because IsIdentifiedBy is an out relation (it is a ConsistsOf) form EService.

The EService schema imposes the SoftwareFacet with IsIdentifiedBy, so this query has the same result of getting all the EService instances.

All the EService having an incoming (IN) Hosts relation (i.e. hosted by) the HostingNode with UUID 16032d09-3823-444e-a1ff-a67de4f350a.

In other words, it returns all the EService running on the HostingNode with UUID 16032d09-3823-444e-a1ff-a67de4f350a..

Request URL 

GET /access/query/EService/Hosts/HostingNode?_polymorphic=true&_direction=in&reference=16032d09-3823-444e-a1ff-a67de4f350a8

This query return all the EService running on the reference HostingNode.

Raw Query

This API provides a way to query the underlying database persistence by using the persistence query language dialect. This API does not guarantee consistency with the IS Model concepts. The result is related to how the service decide to represent the IS Model concepts on the persistence data model.

At the time of writing the underlying database, persistence is OrientDB. It should be used only for development purposes only because the way to represent the IS Model concepts can change at any time or can change the database persistence.

At the time of writing the query language supported is OrientDB SQL Dialect.

Raw Query via Java Client

public String query(final String query, final int limit, final String fetchPlan) throws InvalidQueryException, ResourceRegistryException;
 
public String query(final String query, final int limit, final String fetchPlan, boolean raw) throws InvalidQueryException, ResourceRegistryException;
Raw Query via Java Client Example 1

This query request one (limit=1) SoftwareFacet as represented in the underling db (raw=true).

This query must be used only by the administrators for debugging purposes. 

ResourceRegistryClient resourceRegistryClient = ResourceRegistryClientFactory.create();
 
String jsonString = resourceRegistryClient.query("SELECT FROM SoftwareFacet", 1, null, true);
Raw Query via REST API Example 2

This query request one (limit=1) SoftwareFacet represented according to the IS Model.

This is the same query of the previous example but the service transforms the result according to the IS Model. 

ResourceRegistryClient resourceRegistryClient = ResourceRegistryClientFactory.create();
 
String jsonString = resourceRegistryClient.query("SELECT FROM SoftwareFacet", 1, null);
List<SoftwareFacet> list = ElementMapper.unmarshalList(SoftwareFacet.class, jsonString);

Raw Query via REST API

Code Type Description
200 String A JSON object with the result of the raw query.
Raw Query via REST API Example 1

This query request one (limit=1) SoftwareFacet as represented in the underling db (raw=true).

This query must be used only by the administrators for debugging purposes.

Request URL 

GET /access/query?limit=10&q=SELECT FROM SoftwareFacet&limit=1&raw=true

JSON Query

Creating a JSON query is very simple as far as you know the model. You just need to know the shape of the interested instance.

To help the reader to understand the JSON query it will be used the following graph instances.

				"value": "down"
			}
		},
 
	]
}

As you can notice the JSON query has exactly the same shape as the EService instance presented above.


Even more complex queries are really simple: 

{
	"@class": "EService",
	"consistsOf": [
		{
			"@class": "IsIdentifiedBy",
			"target": {
				"@class": "SoftwareFacet",
				"group": "DataTransfer"
				"name": "data-transfer-service"
			}
		},
		{
			"@class": "ConsistsOf",
			"propagationConstraint" : {
				"add": "propagate"
			},
			"target": {
				"@class": "StateFacet",
				"value": "down"
			}
		}
	],
	"isRelatedTo" : [
		{
			"@class": "Activates",
			"source": {
				"@class": "HostingNode",
				"consistsOf": [
					{
						"@class": "ConsistsOf",
						"target": {
							"@class": "CPUFacet",
							"vendor": "GenuineIntel"
						}
					}
				]
			}
		}
	]
}

In this query, apart from the constraints imposed in the previous query, we add a constraint in the ConsistsOf relation with the StateFacet, i.e. the propagation constraint must be propagate for add operations. Moreover, the requested EService is activated by (Activates) an HostingNode with a CPU (CPUFacet) from the vendor known as GenuineIntel.

JSON Query for Facet

The following query returns the StateFacet of any EService identified as DataTransfer:data-transfer-service. 

{
	"@class": "StateFacet",
	"_in": {
		"@class": "ConsistsOf",
		"source" : {
			"@class" : "EService",
			"consistsOf": [
				{
					"@class": "IsIdentifiedBy",
					"target": {
						"@class": "SoftwareFacet",
						"group": "DataTransfer"
						"name": "data-transfer-service"
					}
				}
			]
		}
	}
}

To explain the query, think about the instances in the graph we have

EService --ConsistsOf--> StateFacet

The ConsistsOf relation goes OUT from the EService and arrives IN the StateFacet

EService --OUT--ConsistsOf--IN--> StateFacet

This explains why we need to use the keyword _in in the JSON query. Then, ConsistsOf is represented using the usual representation of a relation.

The obtained result will be. 

{
	"@class": "StateFacet",
	"@superClasses": [ "Facet" ]
	"header": {
		"@class": "Header",
		"uuid": "bc303636-f85f-4ea1-9d85-7188acb4cac2",
		"createdBy": "DataTransfer:data-transfer-service:pc-frosini.isti.cnr.it_8080",
		"creationTime": "2021-08-25 14:33:16.269 +0200",
		"lastUpdateTime": "2021-08-25 15:46:18.682 +0200",
		"lastUpdateBy": "DataTransfer:data-transfer-service:pc-frosini.isti.cnr.it_8080"
	},
	"value": "down",
}

JSON Query Operators

JSON Query Conditional Operators

JSON queries support the following operators:

Comparison Operator Description
$eq Matches values that are equal to a specified value.
$gt Matches values that are greater than a specified value.
$gte Matches values that are greater than or equal to a specified value.
$lt Matches values that are less than a specified value.
$lte Matches values that are less than or equal to a specified value.
$ne Matches all values that are not equal to a specified value.
$in Matches any of the values specified in an array.
JSON Query Logical Operators
Logical Operator Description
$and true if both the conditions are true.
$or true if at least one of the condition is true.
$not true if the condition is false.
JSON Query Operators Usage Example

The following JSON query shows an example of the usage of the query operators: 

{
	"@class": "StateFacet",
	"value": "down",
	"_in": {
		"@class": "ConsistsOf",
		"source" : {
			"@class" : "EService",
			"header": {
				"$or": [
					{"$and": {
						"uuid" : "aec0ef31-c735-4a4c-b2f4-57dfbd2fe925",
						"createdBy": {"$ne": "luca.frosini"}
					}},
					{"$and": {
						"uuid" : "0255b7ec-e3da-4071-b456-9a2907ece1db",
						"createdBy": "DataTransfer:data-transfer-service:pc-frosini.isti.cnr.it_8080"
					}}
				]
			}
		}
	}
}

The query returns the StateFacet with value to down of any EService which has

  • uuid=0255b7ec-e3da-4071-b456-9a2907ece1db AND createdBy=DataTransfer:data-transfer-service:pc-frosini.isti.cnr.it_8080

OR

  • uuid=aec0ef31-c735-4a4c-b2f4-57dfbd2fe925 AND createdBy!=luca.frosini


One of the obtained StateFacet in the result will be: 


{
	"@class": "StateFacet",
	"@superClasses": [ "Facet" ]
	"header": {
		"@class": "Header",
		"uuid": "bc303636-f85f-4ea1-9d85-7188acb4cac2",
		"createdBy": "DataTransfer:data-transfer-service:pc-frosini.isti.cnr.it_8080",
		"creationTime": "2021-08-25 14:33:16.269 +0200",
		"lastUpdateTime": "2021-08-25 15:46:18.682 +0200",
		"lastUpdateBy": "DataTransfer:data-transfer-service:pc-frosini.isti.cnr.it_8080"
	},
	"value": "down",
}
