Method Detail

getOperationParameters

DefinitionContainer getOperationParameters()

Retrieves the metadata of the parameters of the operation.

Returns:

A DefinitionContainer containing the metadata of all parameters in the operation. There should be one ParameterDefinition object in the DefinitionContainer containing metadata for each parameter. If there are no paremeters, or if the operation is a common operation, an instance of EmptyDefinitionContainer should be returned.

ParameterDefinition, EmptyDefinitionContainer

getOperationReturnType

OperationReturnDefinition getOperationReturnType()

Retrieves the metadata of the return type of the operation.

Returns:

Metadata of the return type of the operation. If the operation does not return any value, or if it is a common operation, null can be returned.

getOperationId

int getOperationId()

Retrieves the operation id of the operation.

Returns:

The id of the operation, or CUSTOM if this is a custom operation.

getDataControlDefinition

DataControlDefinition getDataControlDefinition()

Retrieves the DataControlDefinition that this Operation belongs to.

Returns:

The DataControlDefinition that this Operation belongs to.

isStatic

boolean isStatic()

Returns:

true if this is a static method on the structure.
