running a gremlin query in groovy using groovyc , code examples

[sck2015]

I am trying to find path traversals and explore them by increasing weight, I was able to do this in gremlin and was trying to replicate the code in groovy (using groovyc to compile a groovy file and integrate with my other java code)... Can someone point me to documentation or how to execute the following query in a .groovy file, my understanding is that gremlin is interpreted by groovy but I cannot cache the results of the following pipeline which should return a set of weights and paths:

 public static List  findAllPaths(Vertex s, Vertex e) {

        String targetName = e.getProperty("firstName");

        // look at paths that end at target, match on first name, calc weights of these paths

        results = s.outE.inV.loop(2){it.object.firstName!=targetName && it.loops < 6}.path.filter{it.last().firstName==targetName}.transform{[it.findAll{it instanceof Edge}.sum{it.weight}, it]};

        // how to save results of pipe

    } 

I've gotten simple gremlin queries to return and pass back a list to java, I could try stringing together gremlin pipelines but I thought the point of having .groovy files was to be able to use/integrate gremlin directly to talk to java, thanks, Sonu

What you're missing is (1) initializing Gremlin, and (2) collecting results.  To initialize Gremlin, your code needs to execute the following once (and preferably only once):

import com.tinkerpop.gremlin.groovy.Gremlin

Gremlin.load()

Once you've done that, you can run your query.  Right now your method creates a Gremlin query, but hasn't started it.  There are lots of ways to collect results; one way would be to use the Groovy collect() if you're expecting a list of results. For something more complicated, such as the what you're doing, I'd suggest something like this:

import com.tinkerpop.pipes.util.structures.Table

def t = new Table()

s.outE.inV.loop(2){it.object.firstName!=targetName && it.loops < 6}.path.filter{it.last().firstName==targetName}.transform{[it.findAll{it instanceof Edge}.sum{it.weight}, it]}.table( t ).iterate()

That should give you a table structure that contains your results.
