Hi Claude,

It's close as this code at least group the triples
per subject basis and the "model.write(stream, lang)"
prints out in that manner. Still, there's no explicit
ordering in the subjects (other than the iterator's
own implicit one). Looks like I need to write my own.

Thanks

The code you are looking for is probably in
com.hp.hpl.jena.xmloutput.impl.Basic.java


 protected void writeRDFStatements( Model model, PrintWriter writer )
        {
ResIterator rIter = model.listSubjects();
while (rIter.hasNext()) writeRDFStatements( model, rIter.nextResource(),
writer );
}

 protected void writeRDFStatements
        ( Model model, Resource subject, PrintWriter writer )
    {
StmtIterator sIter = model.listStatements( subject, null, (RDFNode) null );
writeDescriptionHeader( subject, writer );
while (sIter.hasNext()) writePredicate( sIter.nextStatement(), writer );
writeDescriptionTrailer( subject, writer );
    }

However, it just prints the statements out in the order the model returns them by listSubjects() and listStatements() for each subject returned. So
as Chris said the order is model implementation specific.

 Is there a Jena stmt/triple iterator feeding items in order ?
I looked around the Jena API list to find, but no luck. However,
the 'Model.write(outputStream, lang)' method produces triple
listing in hierarchy with indentation - wonder how the method
produces such listing.


Is Model.listStatements() what you're looking for?

[Note: there is no "in order"; the statements come out in some
 unspecified implementation-specific order.]

What I'm looking for is another iterator (or a Jena utility ?)
which can order the triples in hierarchy - not in random sequence
from 'listStatements()'. I just need to traverse a resource from
the top to the bottom, and it'd be nice to have an iterator to feed
the triples that way. The model.write() produces triples in sequence
and I just want to utilize that ordering mechanism.
