[protege-discussion] ImageMapWidget and UrlWidget

[Jennifer Vendetti]

Selma,

If you have a slot that has been associated with the ImageWidget or the 
URLWidget, the return value from instance.getOwnSlotValue(slot) will be 
a string, which will be the path to the image or the text of the URL 
respectively.  The following code will print the slot value of a slot 
that uses the URLWidget:

Collection errors = new ArrayList();
Project project = new Project(pathToYourProject, errors);
ProjectManager.getProjectManager().displayErrors("Load Project Errors", 
errors);

KnowledgeBase kb = project.getKnowledgeBase();
Instance instance = kb.getInstance("yourInstanceName");
Slot slot = kb.getSlot("yourSlotName");
String url = (String) instance.getOwnSlotValue(slot);
System.out.println(url);

Once you have retrieved the path to an image, you can use standard Java 
code to create an image object.  Same for a URL object.
