Class TopicNamedEntity

    • Method Detail

      • entityName

        public final String entityName()

        The name of the named entity.

        Returns:
        The name of the named entity.
      • entityDescription

        public final String entityDescription()

        The description of the named entity.

        Returns:
        The description of the named entity.
      • hasEntitySynonyms

        public final boolean hasEntitySynonyms()
        For responses, this returns true if the service returned a value for the EntitySynonyms property. This DOES NOT check that the value is non-empty (for which, you should check the isEmpty() method on the property). This is useful because the SDK will never return a null collection or map, but you may need to differentiate between the service returning nothing (or null) and the service returning an empty collection or map. For requests, this returns true if a value for the property was specified in the request builder, and false if a value was not specified.
      • entitySynonyms

        public final List<String> entitySynonyms()

        The other names or aliases for the named entity.

        Attempts to modify the collection returned by this method will result in an UnsupportedOperationException.

        This method will never return null. If you would like to know whether the service returned this field (so that you can differentiate between null and empty), you can use the hasEntitySynonyms() method.

        Returns:
        The other names or aliases for the named entity.
      • semanticEntityType

        public final SemanticEntityType semanticEntityType()

        The type of named entity that a topic represents.

        Returns:
        The type of named entity that a topic represents.
      • hasDefinition

        public final boolean hasDefinition()
        For responses, this returns true if the service returned a value for the Definition property. This DOES NOT check that the value is non-empty (for which, you should check the isEmpty() method on the property). This is useful because the SDK will never return a null collection or map, but you may need to differentiate between the service returning nothing (or null) and the service returning an empty collection or map. For requests, this returns true if a value for the property was specified in the request builder, and false if a value was not specified.
      • definition

        public final List<NamedEntityDefinition> definition()

        The definition of a named entity.

        Attempts to modify the collection returned by this method will result in an UnsupportedOperationException.

        This method will never return null. If you would like to know whether the service returned this field (so that you can differentiate between null and empty), you can use the hasDefinition() method.

        Returns:
        The definition of a named entity.
      • hashCode

        public final int hashCode()
        Overrides:
        hashCode in class Object
      • equals

        public final boolean equals​(Object obj)
        Overrides:
        equals in class Object
      • toString

        public final String toString()
        Returns a string representation of this object. This is useful for testing and debugging. Sensitive data will be redacted from this string using a placeholder value.

      • getValueForField

        public final <T> Optional<T> getValueForField​(String fieldName,
                                                      Class<T> clazz)
