public boolean isAttributeValueSearchEnabled()

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

getSpec

public java.lang.String getSpec()

getDisplayName

public java.lang.String getDisplayName()

Returns the appropriate display name for this attribute. MDEX 7 supports display names from the MDEX, while MDEX 6 does not. We should be using DataSource.supportsFeature() to detect that. But, since we already have 6 vs. 7 constructors in this class, we can detect display name support without requiring a reference to the DataSource object in the MDEXAttribute class. Since MDEXAttribute is session-cached, we want to keep it as light as possible.

Returns:

the display name

getType

public MDEXAttribute.PropertyType getType()

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
