Design Overview

The gCube Document Library (gDL) is a library that works on top of the Content Manager. This library offers a simpler way for client to access documents in the d4science system. The major change in the ContentManager is the document model (more generic, more extensible), the gDL reduces the development costs for using this new feature.

Document Model

Implementation Overview

The gDL is composed by tree types of access interfaces:

the CollectionManager is used to manage the Collections in the system.
the CMReader is used to read document from a collection. it offers methods to get a document or part of it (Metadata, Annotations, Parts, Alternatives);
the CMWriter is used to add document or update it or a part of it;
the CMView is used to get documents from a specific view of a collection.

Accessing a collection

The GCube Document Library offers a set of utilities to help the client to interact with the Content Manager.

Reading a collection

The CMReader let the client to read elements from a collection. There are methods to read single document or part of it and methods to read multiple documents returned as GCubeDocument iterator. Method to access GCubeDocument lets filter and project the result. Both operations are achieved through the Projection system.

Projection

The Projection lets filter and project the results of a "query".

There is a Projection class for each element of model.

For each element is possible to define which fields get back through the includeXXX(boolean include) method.

For each element is also possible to set a constraint through the constrainXXX(Constraint constraint) method, or remove it with resetXXXConstraint() one.

The ProjectionsFactory class provide a set of utility method for fast retrieving element dedicated projection.

Writing into a collection

The CMWriter class offers method to write, update and delete document from a collection.

The write methods accept new document and returns the new document id.

The update method accept a preceding retrieved document on which updates are made.

Finally the document remotion requires only the document id.

Each method have both a single element operation than a multiple element operation using an iterator as input and as output.

Managing collections and views

The GCube Document Library offers utility classes to manage the collections and the views in the system.

The CollectionManager class is an utility to manage a single collection. It can return the collection Reader and Writer for respectively read and write the collection. It can also manage the collection Views with facilities method to retrieve and manage it.

The Collections class is an utility to manage the CM collections. The class provide methods for find, delete and create collections.

The CMViews class is an utility for find the Views on the system.

Configuring the environment

Supporting the SMS protocol

The Storage Management Service introduces a new protocol, called sms, with an handler implementation.

To let know the JVM about the existence of a new protocol handler you can use one of this solutions:

Specify a new java property at JVM startup: -Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=org.gcube.contentmanagement.storagelayer.storagemanagementservice.stubs.protocol
- if you are developing a service and are you using the last distribution you don't have to change anything because the new GHN distribution already do it.
- if you are developing a portlet or a portal library check if your portal instance have the option specified in the environment variable CATALINA_OPTS.
- if you are running your client locally on Eclipse you can specify the options on run configuration, Arguments tab, VM arguments section.
Use this sentence in your client testing program:

System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs", "org.gcube.contentmanagement.storagelayer.storagemanagementservice.stubs.protocol");

Examples

Here some examples on gDL use. More examples are on examples folder in gDL project on SVN.

Managing Collections examples

We shows some examples on managing Collections.

List all collections

This example shows how to list all collection on a scope.

 GCUBEScope scope = GCUBEScope.getScope("/gcube");
 
 System.out.println("Collections in "+scope+" :");
 for (CMCollection collection:Collections.list(scope)){
   System.out.println(collection);
 }

Find collection by name

This example shows how to find a collection using his name.

 GCUBEScope scope = GCUBEScope.getScope("/gcube");
 
 String collectionName = "My Test Collection";
 
 System.out.println("Collections in "+scope+" with name \""+collectionName+"\":");
 for (CMCollection collection:Collections.findByName(scope, collectionName)){
   System.out.println(collection);
 }

Create a GCube collection

This code creates a new collection with the given name and description.

The create method returns a list of collection references because a create command can produce more than one collection (for example OAI-Plugin).

 GCUBEScope scope = GCUBEScope.getScope("/gcube");
 
 //collection informations
 String collectionName = "MyTestCollection2";
 String collectionDescription = "This is my test collection";
 boolean userCollection = true;
 
 //we don't want to propagate the request to others CM
 boolean propagateRequest = false;
 
 //we want the collection to be readable and writable
 boolean readable = true;
 boolean writable = true;
 
 //finally we create the collection
 List<CollectionReference> collectionReferences = Collections.createGCubeCollection(propagateRequest, collectionName, collectionDescription, userCollection, readable, writable, scope);
 
 System.out.println("Created collections:");
 for (CollectionReference collectionReference:collectionReferences){
   System.out.println("Collection id: "+collectionReference.getCollectionID());
   if (collectionReference.getReader()!=null) System.out.println("Reader EPR: "+collectionReference.getReader());
   if (collectionReference.getWriter()!=null) System.out.println("Writer EPR: "+collectionReference.getWriter());
   System.out.println();
 }

Wrap a collection using SMS-Plugin

This example shows how to wrap an existing collection on SMS. To run this example the SMS-Plugin jar is required.

 GCUBEScope scope = GCUBEScope.getScope("/gcube");
 
 //the collection id on SMS (the id of collection IO on the SMS)
 String collectionId = "74fe4120-8f5b-11df-8083-c574cd534edf";
 
 //we don't want to propagate the request to others CM
 boolean propagateRequest = false;
 
 //we want the collection to be readable and writable
 boolean readable = true;
 boolean writable = true;
 
 //finally we wrap the collection
 List<CollectionReference> collectionReferences = SMSUtil.wrapCollection(scope, propagateRequest, collectionId, readable, writable);
 
 System.out.println("Collections wrapped:");
 for (CollectionReference collectionReference:collectionReferences){
   System.out.println("Collection id: "+collectionReference.getCollectionID());
   if (collectionReference.getReader()!=null) System.out.println("Reader EPR: "+collectionReference.getReader());
   if (collectionReference.getWriter()!=null) System.out.println("Writer EPR: "+collectionReference.getWriter());
   System.out.println();
 }

Delete a GCube collection

This code deletes a GCube collection with the given id.

 GCUBEScope scope = GCUBEScope.getScope("/gcube/devNext");
 
 String collectionId = "8fb9df30-2de8-11df-893d-add683599cad";
 
 //we want to delete the collection profile
 boolean deleteProfile = true;
 
 System.out.println("Requesting delete:");
 List<Future<RPDocument>> results = Collections.deleteGCubeCollection(collectionId, deleteProfile, scope);
 
 System.out.println("Results:");
 for (Future<RPDocument> result:results){
   RPDocument doc = result.get();
   System.out.println("Deleted delegate for collection "+doc.getKey());
 }

Reading examples

We shows some examples on reading documents.

Get a single document

This example shows how to get a single document using his id.

 //we instantiate the CMReader
 CMReader cmReader = new CMReader(collectionId, scope);
 
 //then we retrieve the document, we are not specifying projections, therefore the entire document is returned.
 GCubeDocument document = cmReader.getDocument(documentId);
 
 System.out.println("Retrieved document:");
 System.out.println("id: " + document.getId());
 System.out.println("name: " + document.getName());
 System.out.println("mimeType: " + document.getMimeType());

Get documents by name

This example shows how to get documents from a collection using a name constraint.

 String collectionId = "74fe4120-8f5b-11df-8083-c574cd534edf";
 System.out.println("collectionId: "+collectionId);
 System.out.println();
 
 String documentName = "Column dedication by Eumachos and Amias";
 
 //we instantiate the CMReader
 CMReader cmReader = new CMReader(collectionId, scope);
 
 //we define a gcube main document projection
 GCubeMainDocumentProjection projection = ProjectionsFactory.MAIN_DOCUMENT();
 //we set a constraint over the name field
 projection.constrainName(is(documentName));
 
 //we are asking for all documents having the specified name
 Iterator<GCubeDocument> documentIterator = cmReader.getDocuments(projection);
 
 int i = 0;
 System.out.println("Retrieved documents:");
 
 //finally we iterate over the collection
 while(documentIterator.hasNext()){
   GCubeDocument document = documentIterator.next();
   System.out.println(i+") "+document);
   i++;
 }
 
 System.out.println();
 System.out.println("Found "+i+" documents");

To use the is function remember to add this import:

 import static org.gcube.contentmanagement.contentmanager.stubs.model.constraints.Constraints.*;

Get all documents in a collection

This example shows how to get all documents from a collection.

 //we instantiate the CMReader
 CMReader cmReader = new CMReader(collectionId, scope);
 
 //then we retrieve all collection documents
 //we are not specifying projections, therefore the entire document is returned.
 Iterator<GCubeDocument> documentIterator = cmReader.getDocuments();
 
 int i = 0;
 System.out.println("Collection documents:");
 
 //finally we iterate over the collection
 while(documentIterator.hasNext()){
    GCubeDocument document = documentIterator.next();
 
    String id = document.getId();
    int parts = document.getParts().size();
    int alternatives = document.getAlternatives().size();
    int metadata = document.getMetadata().size();
    int annotations = document.getAnnotations().size();
 
    System.out.printf("%d id: %s parts: %d alternatives: %d metadata: %d annotations: %d %n", i, id, parts, alternatives, metadata, annotations);
    i++;
 }

Get a document using projections

This example shows how to use projections during document retrieving.

 //we instantiate the CMReader
 CMReader cmReader = new CMReader(collectionId, scope);
 
 //then we retrieve the document, 
 //we are specifying the MAIN_DOCUMENT and the METADATA projections, the document returned will have main document data and all related metadata	
 GCubeDocument document = cmReader.getDocument(documentId, ProjectionsFactory.MAIN_DOCUMENT(), ProjectionsFactory.METADATA());
 
 System.out.println("Retrieved document:");
 System.out.println("id: " + document.getId());
 System.out.println("name: " + document.getName());
 System.out.println("mimeType: " + document.getMimeType());
 System.out.println("length: " + document.getLength());
 System.out.println("contentURL: " + document.getContentURL());
 System.out.println();
 
 for (GCubeMetadata metadata:document.getMetadata()){
    System.out.println("Metadata:");
    System.out.println(" id: " + metadata.getId());
    System.out.println(" mimeType: " + metadata.getMimeType());
    System.out.println(" length: " + metadata.getLength());
    System.out.println(" Metadata info:");
    System.out.println("  name: " + metadata.getMetadataName());
    System.out.println("  schema: " + metadata.getMetadataSchema());
    System.out.println("  language: " + metadata.getMetadataLanguage());
    System.out.println();
 }

Get a document content

This example shows how to get a document content.

 //we instantiate the CMReader
 CMReader cmReader = new CMReader(collectionId, scope);
 
 //then we retrieve the document, we are requesting only the main document
 GCubeDocument document = cmReader.getDocument(documentId, ProjectionsFactory.MAIN_DOCUMENT());
 
 System.out.println("Retrieved document:");
 System.out.println("id: " + document.getId());
 System.out.println("name: " + document.getName());
 System.out.println("contentURL: " + document.getContentURL());
 System.out.println();
 
 System.out.println("Retrieving content...");
 //the content is retrieved by the CML library through the content URL
 InputStream is = document.getContent();
 
 //finally we copy the content to a tmp file
 File tmpFile = File.createTempFile("mycontent", ".tmp");
 IOUtils.copy(is, new FileOutputStream(tmpFile));
 
 System.out.println("Content saved in tmp file: " + tmpFile.getAbsolutePath());

Get Collection dynamic properties

This example shows how to get dynamic properties for a given collection.

 String collectionId = "18611ed0-f162-11dd-96f7-b87cc0f0b075";
 System.out.println("collectionId: "+collectionId);
 
 CollectionManager collectionManager = new CollectionManager(collectionId, scope);

 while(iterator.hasNext()) System.out.println(iterator.next());

List collection views

List all the views for a certain collection.

 //we instantiate a collection manager.
 CollectionManager collectionManager = new CollectionManager(collectionId, scope);
 
 //then we ask for all the available views
 List<CMView<?>> views = collectionManager.findViews();
 
 System.out.println("found "+views.size()+" views:");
 for (CMView<?> view:views) System.out.println(view);

Get Metadata elements

Get a metadata view for a collection and the all the elements of the view.

 //first we instantiate a collection manager

 //then we create a view kind, in this case a MetadataView without specifying any property
 MetadataView myMedataView = new MetadataView();
 
 //finally we ask to the collection manager to list all views of the kind specified.
 List<MetadataView> views = collectionManager.findViews(myMedataView);
 System.out.println("Found views: "+views.size());
 
 //in case we not found views
 if (views.size()==0) throw new Exception("No views found");
 
 //we get the first of the list
 MetadataView view = views.get(0);
 
 //we instantiate the view reader
 MetadataViewReader metadataReader = new MetadataViewReader(view, scope);
 
 //we request all the elements
 Iterator<GCubeMetadata> metadata = metadataReader.getAll();
 
 //and print it
 while (metadata.hasNext()) System.out.println(" >"+metadata.next());

Get Metadata elements using only the metadata view ID

Get a metadata view for a collection and all the elements of the view without knowing the collection ID.

 //Use the metadata view ID to find the view
 List<MetadataView> views = CMViews.findViews(scope, new MetadataView(metadataViewID));
 if (views.isEmpty()){
    System.out.println("Metadata view not found. View ID: " + metadataViewID);
 }
 
 //Just get the first view
 MetadataView myMedataView = views.get(0);	
 MetadataViewReader metadataReader = new MetadataViewReader(myMedataView, scope);

Get Metadata elements specifying a condition

 while (metadata.hasNext()) {
  GCubeMetadata m = metadata.next();
 
  System.out.println(" >"+m);
  System.out.println();
 }

Managing URI

The CML library offers an helper class URIS which expose a set of methods to manage a document URI.

Here some examples:

String collectionID(URI uri): Returns the collection identifier in the URI.
String documentID(URI uri): Returns the document identifier in the URI.
String nodeID(URI uri): Returns the identifier of the node identified by a content URI. (e.g. the GCubeMetadata id, the GCubeAlternative)
URI parentURI(URI uri): Returns the element parent. (e.g. from a GCubeMetadata URI you will get the Main Document URI)

F.A.Q.

In this case you have to configure your eclipse running configuration properly (the variable GLOBUS_LOCATION is missing on classpath) [2].

Trying to get the document content I get this exception: java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: sms

Check your configuration about SMS protocol

Eclipse don't find some functions in the examples

Eclipse don't find some functions in the example code (like is, matches, all, either, not, more, less, after, before).

Those are helper function from the CM and are defined on Constraints class. You can statically import it with this statement:

 import static org.gcube.contentmanagement.contentmanager.stubs.model.constraints.Constraints.*;

Trying to interact with the CM I get this exception: org.apache.commons.discovery.DiscoveryException: org.gcube.common.core.utils.handlers.GCUBEServiceHandler$NoQueryResultException
