Method Detail

ensureInitialized

public static void ensureInitialized(OntologyService service)
                              throws InterruptedException

Ensure that a given ontology is initialized, force-loading it via OntologyService.initialize(boolean, boolean) if necessary.

If the ontology was started via OntologyService.startInitializationThread(boolean, boolean), this method will patiently wait until it completes.

Throws:

InterruptedException - in case the ontology initialization thread is started, we will wait which implies a possible interrupt
