@Entity
public class MapConnector
extends NamedObject

A class representing a connection between an output connector point and an input connector point. The connections represent paths for data flow in the graph, and provide upstream source scoping information for downstream component expression references.

Method Detail

setIsHidden

public void setIsHidden(boolean value)

Set the hidden flag which indicates that the connector is hidden for any graphical UI rendering of the graph.

Parameters:

value -

getStartPoint

public MapConnectorPoint getStartPoint()

Get the starting (source) output connector point for the connection.

getEndPoint

public MapConnectorPoint getEndPoint()

Get the ending (target) input connector point for the connection.

Returns:

invalidateDownstreamExpressions

public void invalidateDownstreamExpressions()
                                     throws oracle.odi.domain.mapping.exception.MapComponentException

For internal use only. Invalidates all downstream expressions from this connection. May be called when the connection is added or changed.

Throws:

oracle.odi.domain.mapping.exception.MapComponentException

setName

public void setName(java.lang.String name)
             throws MappingException

Description copied from interface: INamedObject

Set the name of the object.

Specified by:

setName in interface INamedObject

Overrides:

setName in class NamedObject

Throws:

MappingException - TODO

getOwner

public IRoot getOwner()

Description copied from interface: IRoot

Gets the mapping owner (or parent) of this object. Some objects may have an external adapter owner and would return null from this method - for example the mapping object is owned by an adapter container (e.g. OdiFolder) object, which is not an instance of IRoot, so null would be returned.

Specified by:

getOwner in interface IRoot

Specified by:

getOwner in class Root

Returns:

The owner class instance.

getDisplayableTypeName

public java.lang.String getDisplayableTypeName()

Description copied from class: Root

Get a displayable type name for the property owner object.

Specified by:

getDisplayableTypeName in interface IRoot

Specified by:

getDisplayableTypeName in class Root

Returns:

The displayable type name.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Root
