[OWLAPI-developer] Subclassing OWLRDFParser

[Matthew H. <mat...@cs...>]

All,

I'd like to subclass OWLRDFParser and OWLConsumer for more control  
over imports.   However, during importing, the OWLConsumer creates  
new instances of OWLRDFParser and OWLConsumer for each imported  
ontology - this is hard coded into OWLConsumer (see below).  I'd like  
to make this more flexible so that reflection is used to create  
instances of OWLRDFParser and OWLConsumer.  To remedy this, I propose  
that class name parameters are added to the OWLConnection parameter  
map for the names of the OWLRDFParser and OWLConsumer classes.  Any  
objections?

Cheers,

Matthew



	    importedOntology =
		onto.getOWLConnection().createOntology(obj,
							  obj);
	
	    /* Now parse it. */
	
	    OWLRDFParser parser = new OWLRDFParser();

	    /* Pass on my parent parser's options to the new parser */
	    parser.setOptions( myParser.getOptions() );

	    /* Create a new consumer, that shares my assumptions */
	
	    OWLConsumer consumer = new OWLConsumer( importedOntology );
