public interface EntityNode
extends Node

An entity node is a metadata node that may establish dependency relations with other metadata (entity) nodes. Such nodes are:

• FunctionCollection instances
• Schema instances
• Function instances
• WebService instances
• WebServicePolicy instances

Method Detail

getNodeReference

NodeRef getNodeReference()

Returns:

the reference for this entity node.

getBody

java.lang.String getBody()

Returns:

The EntityNode contents.

Throws:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - If called on a Function instance.

getDependencyRefs

java.util.Collection getDependencyRefs()
                                       throws com.bea.ld.MetadataException

Returns:

The set of NodeRefs referring to the entity nodes upon which this EntityNode depends directly. May be empty. Depending on the kind of entity node on which it is invoked, the results of this call are as follows:

1. For FunctionCollection instances, the resulting collection includes the references to all function collections and all schemas upon which this function collection depends.
2. For Schema instances, the resulting collection includes the references to all schemas upon which this schema depends.
3. For Function instances, the resulting collection includes the references to all functions upon which this function depends and all schemas upon which the signature of this function depends.

Throws:

com.bea.ld.MetadataException

Exclude:

getDependencyRefs

java.util.Collection getDependencyRefs(ImpactAnalysisOptions options)
                                       throws com.bea.ld.MetadataException

Parameters:

options - A set of flags providing settings used by dependency analysis.

Returns:

The set of NodeRefs referring to the entity nodes upon which this EntityNode depends directly. May be empty. Depending on the kind of entity node on which it is invoked, the results of this call are as follows:

1. For FunctionCollection instances, the resulting collection includes the references to all function collections and all schemas upon which this function collection depends.
2. For Schema instances, the resulting collection includes the references to all schemas upon which this schema depends.
3. For Function instances, the resulting collection includes the references to all functions upon which this function depends and all schemas upon which the signature of this function depends.

Throws:

com.bea.ld.MetadataException - If the dependency analysis failed.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If options is null.

Exclude:

getDependentRefs

java.util.Collection getDependentRefs()
                                      throws com.bea.ld.MetadataException

Returns:

The set of NodeRefs referring to the entity nodes that directly depend on this EntityNode May be empty. Depending on the kind of entity node on which it is invoked, the results of this call are as follows:

1. For FunctionCollection instances, the resulting collection includes the references to all function collections that depend on this function collection.
2. For Schema instances, this method is not supported.
3. For Function instances, the resulting collection includes the references to all functions that depend on this function.

Throws:

com.bea.ld.MetadataException

Exclude:

getDependentRefs

java.util.Collection getDependentRefs(ImpactAnalysisOptions options)
                                      throws com.bea.ld.MetadataException

Parameters:

options - A set of flags providing settings used by dependent analysis.

Returns:

The set of NodeRefs referring to the entity nodes that directly depend on this EntityNode May be empty. Depending on the kind of entity node on which it is invoked, the results of this call are as follows:

1. For FunctionCollection instances, the resulting collection includes the references to all function collections that depend on this function collection.
2. For Schema instances, this method is not supported.
3. For Function instances, the resulting collection includes the references to all functions that depend on this function.

Throws:

com.bea.ld.MetadataException - If the dependency analysis failed.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If options is null.
