The following example of a query in Java, provided by Thomas Yan, is a transliteration of the corresponding Lisp query (atp-inhibits), which can be found among the Example Pathway Tools queries in Common Lisp. It finds all enzymes for which ATP is an inhibitor.

import java.util.*;

public class JavacycSample {

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      Javacyc cyc = new Javacyc("ECOLI");
      ArrayList enzrxns =
         cyc.getClassAllInstances("|Enzymatic-Reactions|");
      for (int i = 0; i < enzrxns.size(); i++) {
         String er = (String)enzrxns.get(i);
         // We test for whether the INHIBITORS-ALL
         // slot contains the compound frame ATP
         boolean bool =
            cyc.memberSlotValueP(er, "Inhibitors-All", "Atp");
         if (bool) {
            // Whenever the test is positive, we collect
            // the value of the slot ENZYME.  The results
            // are printed in the terminal.
            String enz = cyc.getSlotValue(er, "Enzyme");
            System.out.println(enz);
         }
      }
   }
