I’m trying to remove values of datatype properties of an instance through an interface

0

I’m trying to remove values of datatype properties of an instance through an interface which I created in java but it does not work. It gives me an

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.util.ConcurrentModificationException.

I don’t understand why. Can you please explain me what’s wrong?

Here is my code for button remove:

//Button Remove
public class ActionRemove implements ActionListener
{

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
    {

        StmtIterator iter = onto.model.listStatements();

        while (iter.hasNext()) 
        {
            Statement stmt  = iter.nextStatement(); 

            Resource  subject = stmt.getSubject(); 
            Property  predicate = stmt.getPredicate();  
            RDFNode object  = stmt.getObject();  
            if(subject.toString().equals (onto.uriBase+"#"+tabTF[0].getText()))
            {

                onto.model.remove(stmt);

            }

    }
}
}

You have removed an item from a collection and then continued to use a previous iterator on it.

Most of the java collection iterators have the “fail fast” property. Once they detect that the underlying collection has changed they will throw a ConcurrentModificationException.

Your solution is to do a two step removal process:

iterate and find the nodes that you need to remove
iterate the list of nodes you want removed (found in first step) and actually remove them from the original collection.

Code (assuming Java 5):

//Button Remove
public class ActionRemove implements ActionListener
{

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
    {
        List<Statement> statementsToRemove = new ArrayList<Statement>();

        // step 1
        StmtIterator iter = onto.model.listStatements();
        while (iter.hasNext()) 
        {
            Statement stmt  = iter.nextStatement(); 

            Resource  subject = stmt.getSubject(); 
            Property  predicate = stmt.getPredicate();  
            RDFNode object  = stmt.getObject();  
            if(subject.toString().equals (onto.uriBase+"#"+tabTF[0].getText()))
            {
                statementsToRemove.add(stmt);
            }
       }

       // step 2
       for( Statement stmt : statementsToRemove) 
       {
            onto.model.remove(stmt);
       }
   }
}

There is another way (see http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/CopyOnWriteArrayList.html class) but since your collection is inside the Jena api you can’t use it ;).
