Annotation Type GremlinDsl

@Target(value=TYPE)
 @Retention(value=CLASS)
public @interface GremlinDsl

An annotation that specifies that an interface is meant to be used to produce Gremlin DSL. This annotation should be applied to an interface that extends GraphTraversal. This interface should be suffixed with TraversalDsl. The DSL classes will be generated to the package of the annotated class or the to the value specified in the packageName() and will use the part of the interface name up to the suffix to generate the classes. Therefore, assuming an interface, annotated with GremlinDsl, called SocialTraversalDsl, there will be three classes generated:

• SocialTraversal - an interface that is an extension to SocialTraversalDsl
• DefaultSocialTraversal - an implementation of the SocialTraversal
• SocialTraversalSource - an extension of GraphTraversalSource which spawns DefaultSocialTraversal instances
• __ - which spawns anonymous DefaultSocialTraversal instances

Together these generated classes provide all the infrastructure required to properly Gremlin traversals enhanced with domain specific steps.

Optional Element Summary

Optional Elements

Modifier and Type	Optional Element and Description
boolean	generateDefaultMethods When set to true, which is the default, the following methods will be generated to the DSL implementation of the GraphTraversalSource: GraphTraversalSource.addV() GraphTraversalSource.addV(String) GraphTraversalSource.V(Object...) GraphTraversalSource.E(Object...)
String	packageName The default package name in which to generate the DSL.
String	traversalSource Defines the optional canonical name of the GraphTraversalSource that this DSL should extend from.

Element Detail

packageName

public abstract String packageName

The default package name in which to generate the DSL. If this value is left unset or set to an empty string, it will default to the same package as the class or interface the annotation is on.

Default:

""

traversalSource

public abstract String traversalSource

Defines the optional canonical name of the GraphTraversalSource that this DSL should extend from. If this value is not supplied the generated "source" will simply extend from GraphTraversalSource.

Default:

"org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.process.traversal.dsl.graph.GraphTraversalSource"

generateDefaultMethods

public abstract boolean generateDefaultMethods

When set to true, which is the default, the following methods will be generated to the DSL implementation of the GraphTraversalSource:

• GraphTraversalSource.addV()
• GraphTraversalSource.addV(String)
• GraphTraversalSource.V(Object...)
• GraphTraversalSource.E(Object...)

Default:

true
