Interface ResourceIdQuery

All Known Implementing Classes:

PreferenceResourceIdQuery

public interface ResourceIdQuery

Contains the external query logic represented by a ResourceIdFacet.

This interface doesn't address the organization of known Headings. As a result, no Heading will have any forward headings. It's the consumer's job to track possible headingId values and present them in the faceted browsing UI.

Method Summary

java.lang.String	getDisplayTitle(java.lang.String headingId) Return a title that describes the query corresponding to a Heading ID.
int[]	getResourceIds(java.lang.String headingId) Resolve a Heading ID string to a set of Resource IDs that belong in that Heading.
java.lang.String	getRootDisplayTitle() Return the title that describes the set of all resources.

Method Detail

getResourceIds

int[] getResourceIds(java.lang.String headingId)

Resolve a Heading ID string to a set of Resource IDs that belong in that Heading. The Heading ID string, therefore, must contain all the information necessary to do a query and return a set of IDs. (Or it must be a pointer to that information; the implementation decides.)

getDisplayTitle

java.lang.String getDisplayTitle(java.lang.String headingId)

Return a title that describes the query corresponding to a Heading ID.

getRootDisplayTitle

java.lang.String getRootDisplayTitle()

Return the title that describes the set of all resources. (In other words, the title of the root heading in this facet.)
