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 - evsSearch and search - and LexEVS Counterparts
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
getTree
All 'getTree' functionality is replaced by the LexEVS CodedNodeGraph API. For example:

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.

searchDescLogicConcepts
LexEVS provides many ways to restrict the result of a query. The method 'searchDescLogicConcepts' searches for matches based on a text String. To conduct similar queries using LexEVS, use the CodedNodeSet API.

getDescLogicConcept
A 'DescLogicConcept'

getInverseRoleCollectionbyCode
Use the CodedNodeGraph API to find the immediate relations of a Concept.
To find the Inverse Roles, restricting the Relations Container may be necessary (see getRoleCollectionbyCode above).
Depending on how the onotology defines an 'inverse' role or association, these can be restricted as well.
For instance:

h3. getInverseRoleCollectionbyCode Use the *CodedNodeGraph* API to find the immediate relations of a Concept.
