Method Summary

void	load(ElkAxiomProcessor axiomInserter, ElkAxiomProcessor axiomDeleter) Loads pending axioms using the provided axiomInserter for inserting axioms and axiomDeleter for deleting axioms; if called twice, the already loaded axioms will not be processed again

Method Detail

load

void load(ElkAxiomProcessor axiomInserter,
          ElkAxiomProcessor axiomDeleter)
          throws ElkLoadingException

Loads pending axioms using the provided axiomInserter for inserting axioms and axiomDeleter for deleting axioms; if called twice, the already loaded axioms will not be processed again

Parameters:

axiomInserter - an ElkAxiomProcessor that inserts the axioms that were added

axiomDeleter - an ElkAxiomProcessor that deletes the axioms that were removed

Throws:

ElkLoadingException - if loading cannot be completed successfully

isLoadingFinished

boolean isLoadingFinished()

Returns:

true if the loading is finished, i.e., calling load(ElkAxiomProcessor, ElkAxiomProcessor) will have no effect

dispose

void dispose()
