Constructor Detail

BC4JViewObjectAttributeDefinition

public BC4JViewObjectAttributeDefinition(BC4JViewObjectStructureDefinition structureDefinition,
                                         AttributeDef attributeDefinition)

Method Detail

isReadOnly

public boolean isReadOnly()

Description copied from interface: AttributeDefinition

Finds out whether this attribute is read-only or is updateable.

Specified by:

isReadOnly in interface AttributeDefinition

Returns:

True if this attribute is read-only, false otherwise.

isKey

public boolean isKey()

Description copied from interface: AttributeDefinition

Finds out whether this attribute is the primary key of the row.

Specified by:

isKey in interface AttributeDefinition

Returns:

True if this attribute is the primary key, false otherwise.

getSourceTypeString

public java.lang.String getSourceTypeString()

Description copied from interface: AttributeDefinition

Returns the actual java type of the attribute in the data source. This may be different from the java type returned by getJavaTypeString if the data control is returning an attribute as a different datatype as what it is in its data source. For example, if the source type is a java.lang.String representing some number, the java type of the attribute could be java.lang.Integer.

Specified by:

getSourceTypeString in interface AttributeDefinition

Returns:

The java type of the attribute in the data source.

getJavaTypeString

public java.lang.String getJavaTypeString()

Description copied from interface: VariableDefinition

Retrieves the type of the variable.

Specified by:

getJavaTypeString in interface VariableDefinition

Returns:

The fully qualified Java class name of the variable type.

getDataControlDefinition

public DataControlDefinition getDataControlDefinition()

Description copied from interface: VariableDefinition

Retrieves the DataControlDefinition that this Variable belongs to.

Specified by:

getDataControlDefinition in interface VariableDefinition

Returns:

The DataControlDefinition that this Variable belongs to.

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.

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 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.
