Class QueryResult

java.lang.Object
  jess.QueryResult

public class QueryResult

extends java.lang.Object

A ResultSet-like class to report the result of executing a Jess query. One of these is returned by the Rete.runQueryStar(java.lang.String, jess.ValueVector) method or by the run-query* function in Jess. Note that the arguments to the getXXX() methods are the names of variables that appear in the query, not the names of slots in the individual facts returned by the query.

Method Detail

next

public boolean next()

Advance the cursor to the next result record. When a QueryResult is first created, the cursor is positioned before the first record, so that you must call next() before attempting to access the first record.

Returns:

true if the cursor is now pointing to a valid result record, or false at the end

close

public void close()

Dispose of this QueryResult.
