Method Detail

getCollectionStructure

public StructureDefinition getCollectionStructure()

Description copied from interface: AccessorDefinition

Retrieves the metadata of the collection itself. It is possible that the collection itself has operations defined, such as if the collection is a class that implements a java.util.Collection interface and contains methods for searching through its elements. Please note that this is different from the getStructure API, which returns the metadata of the collection elements.

Specified by:

getCollectionStructure in interface AccessorDefinition

Overrides:

getCollectionStructure in class ParamDef

Returns:

The metadata describing the structure of the collection, or null if there is none available for the collection.

getDefinitionType

public int getDefinitionType()

Description copied from interface: Definition

Retrieves the type of this definition. It can be one of the TYPE_* constants defined in this class. This is useful to find out the actual type of the Definition without doing an instanceof operations.

Specified by:

getDefinitionType in interface Definition

Overrides:

getDefinitionType in class ParamDef

Returns:

The type of definition that this Definition implementation class implements.

getParentAccessor

public AccessorDefinition getParentAccessor()

Description copied from interface: AccessorDefinition

Retrieves the AccessorDefinition of the parent accessor. A parent accessor is the accessor from which this accessor is obtained from. For example, we have a Dept structure, which contains an accessor called emps that returns a collection of Employee. Each Employee structure in turn contains an accessor called address that returns a structured type Address. The parent accessor of address would be the accessor emps in the Dept structure.

Specified by:

getParentAccessor in interface AccessorDefinition

Overrides:

getParentAccessor in class ParamDef

Returns:

The definition of the parent accessor.

setCollectionStructure

public void setCollectionStructure(StructureDefinition def)

Set the structure definition for the collection if the return is a collection. Collection structures usually contain methods applicable for the collection.

setParentAccessor

public void setParentAccessor(AccessorDefinition parentAccessor)
