Method Detail

getName

java.lang.String getName()
Returns the structure's name (short form).
Returns:
name of the structure.

getFullName

java.lang.String getFullName()
Returns the structure's fully qualified name.
Returns:
fully qualified name of the structure.

getDefName

java.lang.String getDefName()
Returns the structure's base definition name (short form). Note that, in some cases, a StructureDef may have an instance name and definition name. For example, for a View Object, getName() returns the VO's instance name and getDefName() returns the View definition's name.
Returns:
name of the structure's base definition.

getDefFullName

java.lang.String getDefFullName()
Returns the fully qualified name of the structure's base definition. Note that, in some cases, a StructureDef may have an instance name and definition name. For example, for a View Object, getFullName() returns the VO's full instance name and getDefFullName() returns the View definition's full name.
Returns:
fully qualified name of the structure's base definition.

getAttributeDefs

AttributeDef[] getAttributeDefs()
Gets the defined attributes.
Returns:
an array of attribute definitions.

getAttributeCount

int getAttributeCount()
Returns the number of defined attributes.
Returns:
the number of attributes.

findAttributeDef

AttributeDef findAttributeDef(java.lang.String name)
Gets an attribute definition, given its name.
Parameters:
name - the name of an AttributeDef.
Returns:
an attribute definition
Throws:
NoDefException - - if the attribute is not found.

lookupAttributeDef

AttributeDef lookupAttributeDef(java.lang.String name)
Gets an attribute definition, given its name.
Parameters:
name - the name of an AttributeDef.
Returns:
an attribute definition if found, null otherwise

getAttributeDef

AttributeDef getAttributeDef(int index)
Gets an attribute definition, given its index.
Parameters:
index - the index of an AttributeDef, where the leftmost attribute has index zero.
Returns:
an attribute definition.

getAttributeIndexOf

int getAttributeIndexOf(java.lang.String name)
Finds the index (0-based) of the named attribute.
Parameters:
name - the attribute's name.
Returns:
an integer in the range 0 to getAttributeCount() - 1. If the named attribute is not found, it returns -1.

getColumnNameForQuery
