evalSubL
public static java.lang.Object evalSubL(CycAccess connection,
java.lang.String subl)
- Evaluates the given SubL expression given on the cyc image
provided by the CycAccess object given. Really just a thin wrapper
around "CycAccess.converseObject()" because I found that
to be a very non-intuitive method name. Currently all
exceptions are caught and stack traces printed to standard
err. I expect that the API on this method may change in the near future
to throw appropriate exceptions.
- Parameters:
conn
- The CycAccess object to use for communications
with the appropriate Cyc image.subl
- The string that represents the SubL expression that
needs to be evaluated.- Returns:
- The value of evaluating the passed in subl expression or
null if an error occurred.
evalSubLInBackground
public static CycWorker evalSubLInBackground(CycAccess conn,
java.lang.String subl,
CycWorkerListener cwl)
- Evalutes the given subl expression on the given Cyc image in the
background. When the evaluation is complete the CycWorkerListener
passed to this method is notified via an event callback.
- Parameters:
conn
- The CycAccess object to use for communications
with the appropriate Cyc image.subl
- The string that represents the SubL expression that
needs to be evaluated.cwl
- The CycWorkerListener that should be notified of
the background tasks progress.- Returns:
- The CycWorker object that is doing the work. It will be
either already be started.
