The maven coordinates to get the spd-client-library is:

<dependency>
 <groupId>org.gcube.data.spd</groupId>
 <artifactId>spd-client-library</artifactId>
 <version>${version}</version>
</dependency>

the latest under development version is : 2.1.0-SNAPSHOT

Architecture

The spd-cl is divided into 4 parts:

  • QueryManager: helps clients submitting queries to the service;
  • OccurrencesManager: helps clients retrieving occurrences and generating maps using retrieved occurrences;
  • TaxonManager: help clients retrieving taxa and their ancestor by ids.
  • ExecutorManager: helps clients submitting jobs to the system.

QueryManager API

  • public Stream<ResultElement> search(String query) throws InvalidQueryException, UnsupportedPluginException;

This method is used to submit a query to the system. The query MUST be defined following the SPQL grammar.

  • public List<PluginDescription> getPluginsDescription();

This method is used to get the list of all external repositories available in the infrastructure and their capabilities.


Example

ScopeProvider.instance.set(...);
Manager manager = manager().withTimeout(3, TimeUnit.MINUTES).build();
 
//returns all taxa points for  Melastomataceae found in CatalogueOfLife
Stream<ResultElement> stream = manager.search(" 'Melastomataceae' as SN in CatalogueOfLife return Taxon");
while (stream.hasNext()){
     TaxonomyItem ti = (TaxonomyItem) stream.next();
     ...
}
ScopeProvider.instance.set(...);
Manager manager = manager().withTimeout(3, TimeUnit.MINUTES).build();
 
//returns all occurrence points for  Melastomataceae found in all external repositories
Stream<ResultElement> stream = manager.search(" 'Melastomataceae' as SN return Occurrence");
while (stream.hasNext()){
     OccurrencePoint ti = (OccurrencePoint) stream.next();
     ...
}
ScopeProvider.instance.set(...);
Manager manager = manager().withTimeout(3, TimeUnit.MINUTES).build();
 
//returns all results (grouped by DataSet) for common name Shark with at least 1 occurrence found in Obis or GBIF
Stream<ResultElement> stream = manager.search(" 'Shark' as CN in Obis, GBIF return * HAVING Occurrence");
while (stream.hasNext()){
     ResultItem ti = (ResultItem) stream.next();
     ...
}


ScopeProvider.instance.set(...);
Manager manager = manager().build();
List<PluginDescription> pluginDescriptions = manager.getPluginsDescription();
for (PluginDescription description : pluginDescriptions){
     System.out.println(description.getName());          
     ...
}
