Interface BooleanResponse

All Superinterfaces:

Confirmation, KBResponse, Response

public interface BooleanResponse
extends KBResponse

Represents an OWLlink BooleanResponse. It encapsulated also the UnknownResponse: if an OWLlink server answers with an UnknownResponse instead of a BooleanResponse a BooleanResponse JAVA object will be created which returns true for isUnknown() and throws an UnknownResponse if getResult() is called.
