Method Detail

getDataControlDefinition

public DataControlDefinition getDataControlDefinition()

getDefinitionParent

public Definition getDefinitionParent()

Description copied from interface: NamedDefinition

Returns the parent of this metadata definition, which is the Definition that contains this Definition. For example, the parent of an AttributeDefinition could be a StructureDefinition if the attribute is contained in the structure.

Specified by:

getDefinitionParent in interface NamedDefinition

Returns:

The parent Definition

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Description copied from interface: NamedDefinition

Returns the name of this Definition.

Specified by:

getName in interface NamedDefinition

Returns:

Name of this Definition.

getFullName

public java.lang.String getFullName()

Description copied from interface: NamedDefinition

Returns the full name of this Definition, which includes the name of any parent objects. The full name should reflect the runtime nesting level.

Specified by:

getFullName in interface NamedDefinition

Returns:

Full name of this Definition.

initProperties

protected void initProperties()

subclasses should overrides this method to initialize mProperties with names and values of their properties.

getProperty

public java.lang.Object getProperty(java.lang.String propertyName)

Description copied from interface: NamedDefinition

Retrieves the value of a property with the given name. Properties can be used for UI hints such as display width and height.

Specified by:

getProperty in interface NamedDefinition

Parameters:

propertyName - Name of the property to be retrieved.

Returns:

Value of the property with the given property name.

getProperties

public java.util.Hashtable getProperties()

Description copied from interface: NamedDefinition

Gets the table of properties. This returns a hashtable to ensure any modification done by caller would be synchronized. Note that this API has not been added to the JSR yet.

Specified by:

getProperties in interface NamedDefinition

Returns:

a hashtable of properties.

getDefinitionType

public abstract 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

Returns:

The type of definition that this Definition implementation class implements.

isCollectionType

public static boolean isCollectionType(java.lang.Class propClass)

getParentFullName

protected java.lang.String getParentFullName()

resolveFullName

protected void resolveFullName()

getParentAccessor

public AccessorDefinition getParentAccessor()
