public abstract class ThesaurusConceptQuery
extends BaseLocalConceptQuery

A ThesaurusConceptQuery class provides access to thesaurus concepts. Thesaurus concepts may reside in an externally defined UMLS namespace or locally defined thesaurus namespace. A local namespace can be updated, so write access is provided to add, update, and delete concepts.

If you have two instances of ThesaurusConceptQuery and you would like to share the listeners between them, then you can code something like this.

 ThesaurusConceptQuery tcq1 = null;
 ThesaurusConceptQuery tcq2 = null;

 // Initialization code for tcq1 and tcq2

 tcq2.addConceptListener(tcq1.getConceptListener());
 // Now any event from tcq2 will be available to tcq1 listeners

Method Detail

createInstance

public static ThesaurusConceptQuery createInstance(ServerConnection sc)
                                            throws IllegalArgumentException

Creates an instance of ThesaurusConceptQuery. Depending on the type of ServerConnection object passed in the argument, the server may be local(JDBC), socket, or another implementation.

Parameters:

sc - the type of server connection

Returns:

the created ThesaurusConceptQuery

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if a null server connection is passed

ServerConnectionJDBC, ServerConnectionSocket

createInstance

public static ThesaurusConceptQuery createInstance(ServerConnection sc,
                                                   boolean isValidating)
                                            throws IllegalArgumentException

Creates an instance of ThesaurusConceptQuery. Depending on the type of ServerConnection object passed in the argument, the server may be local(JDBC), socket, or another implementation. The second argument is a boolean value for XML validation.

Parameters:

sc - the type of server connection

isValidating - a boolean value. It is true if XML needs to be validated, otherwise it is false.

Returns:

the created ThesaurusConceptQuery

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if a null server connection is passed
