Introduction

This document is a section of the Migration Guide.

Purpose of this

...

Document

The transition from EVS API to LexEVS API will require the use of different methods to accomplish the same function as was previously provided in EVS API. This document will identify each deprecated class and provide the alternative LexEVS API.

Classes no longer

...

Available

As a result of the deprecation of the EVS API, the following classes are no longer available:

• EVSQuery and EVSQueryImpl
• EVSQueryDAOImpl - Not a public API.
• EVSWSDAOImpl - Not a public API.
• EVSWSQuery - Not a public API.
• DLBAdapter - Not a public API.
• DLBWrapper (DLBWrapper is extended by DLBAdapter and it is not been used anywhere else) - Not a public API.
• EVSApplicationService and EVSApplicationServiceImpl

EVSApplicationService and LexEVS Counterparts

EVSApplicationService

evsSearch and search

These methods are replaced either by the LexEVS API or the LexEVS caCORE SDK Data Service 'search' method. This uses the standard caCORE SDK API. More information about the caCORE SDK can be obtained on the caCORE SDK site.

EVSQuery Methods and LexEVS Counterparts

EVSQuery

getTree

All 'getTree' functionality is replaced by the LexEVS CodedNodeGraph API. For example:

...

This will ensure that each of the results will have at least one Propety Property that matches the supplied criteria.

...

Set the ConceptReference graphFocus to the desired code, this will focus the Graph. The Then check the relationships.

Alternatively, use the CodedNodeGraph API method 'areCodesRelated'

...

getPropertyValues

Through the Entity class, all Properties (Presentations, Definitions, etc) are available.

• Entity - To find the 'Presentations' of a given Entity:

  Panel
  Code Block
  Entity entity = ....; Presentation[] presentations = entity.getPresentation();

• To find the 'Definitions' of a given Entity: panel

  Code Block
  Entity entity = ....; Definition[] definitions = entity.getDefinition();

• To find the 'Comments' of a given Entity: panel

  Code Block
  Entity entity = ....; Comment[] comments= entity.getComment();

• To find the non-classified Properties of a given Entity: panel

  Code Block
  Entity entity = ....; Property[] properties = entity.getProperties();

getAncestors

Use the LexEVS HistoryService API
