5 Network Data Model Graph Overview

Example 5-1 Inserting User-Defined Data into Network Metadata

-- Insert link user data named 'interaction' of
-- type varchar2 (50) in network 'bi_test'.
--'interaction' is a column of type varchar2(50) in the link table of network 'bi_
test'.
insert into user_sdo_network_user_data (network,table_type,data_name,data_
                                                                  type,data_length, category_id) 
                  values ('bi_test', 'LINK', 'interaction', 'VARCHAR2', 50, 0) ;
-- insert link user data named 'PROB' of type Number.
--'PROB' is a column of type NUMBER in the link table of network 'bi_test'.
insert into user_sdo_network_user_data (network,table_type,data_name,data_type,        
                                                                   category_id)
                  values ('bi_test','LINK','PROB','NUMBER', 0) ;
 
After a network or network partition is loaded, user-defined data is available in Java representations. You can access user-defined data through the getCategorizedUserData and setCategorizedUserData methods for the Node, Link, Path, and SubPath interfaces. For example:
 
//The user data index is the sequence number of a user data within a category sorted by data name.
 
int interactionUserDataIndex = 0;
int probUserDataIndex = 1;
 
String interaction = (String)link.getCategorizedUserData().getUserData(0).
                                get(interactionUseDataIndex);
 
double prob = ((Double)link.getCategorizedUserData().getUserData(0).
                       get(probUserdataIndex)).doubleValue();

Example 5-2 Implementation of writeUserData method of LODUserDataIO

//Method getLinksInPartition(partitionId) computes a vector that
// consists of  the ID and the route ID of each link associated with a partition
// with ID = partitionId
LinkVector = getLinksInPartition(partitionId);

ObjectOutputStream dout = null;

//Insert an empty blob for the partition with ID = partition_id
String insertStr = "INSERT INTO " + MULTIMODAL_USER_DATA +
                             " (partition_id, blob) " + " VALUES " + " (?, EMPTY_LOB())" ;

PreparedStatement stmt = conn.prepareStatement(insertStr);
stmt.setInt(1,partitionId);
int n = stmt.executeUpdate();
stmt.close();

//lock the row for blob update
 String lockRowStr = "SELECT blob FROM " + MULTIMODAL_USER_DATA +
                                  " WHERE partition_id = ? " + " FOR UPDATE";
 stmt = conn.prepareStatement(lockRowStr);
 stmt.setInt(1,partitionId);
 ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery();

 rs.next();
oracle.sql.BLOB userDataBlob = (oracle.sql.BLOB) rs.getBlob(1);
stmt.close();

 OutputStream blobOut = ((oracle.sql.BLOB) userDataBlob).setBinaryStream(1);
 dout = new ObjectOutputStream(blobOut);

 //write partition ID
 dout.writeInt(partitionId);
 int numLinks = linkVector.size()

  for (int i=0; i<linkVector.size(); i++) {
        //MultimodalLink is a class with variables link ID and route ID
        MultimodalLink link = (MultimodalLink) linkVector.elementAt(i);
         //write link ID 
        dout.writeLong(link.getLinkId());

        // write route ID into file
        dout.writeInt(link.getRouteId());
   }
   dout.close();
    blobOut.close();
    rs.close();
