Question

I’m not getting to list all subclasses of a class. I list the classes, my algorithm checks if each class has a subclass. If true, was to list all subclasses. But this doesn´t happen, it seems to ignore the condition “if (essaClasse.hasSubClass). Can anyone help me? Bellow the code part.

Thanks!

            //create the reasoning model using the base
            OntModel inf = ModelFactory.createOntologyModel();

            // use the FileManager to find the input file

You don’t show your data or complete code (including the bit where you set up the OntModel object), so it’s hard to give definitive advice. The hasSubClass method is tested in the Jena unit tests, so it’s unlikely (though not impossible) that it contains a bug. I would suggest checking that:

• you are correctly loading the data into the Model before you run the above code, using a debugger or log statements to show, for example, the number of triples loaded

• that ontology you are loading does in fact contain sub-class statements, including checking the prefix declaration used to define rdfs in any rdfs:subClassOf triples (it must be exactly http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#)
