public class ViewLinkImpl
extends ComponentObjectImpl
implements ViewLink

Implements the ViewLink interface, the middle-tier class that manages a master-detail relationship between two View Objects.

A View Link models the master-detail relationship between two View Objects. The actual relationship is implemented between a row set iterator derived from the master View Object, and a row set derived from the detail View Object.

The presence of a View Link causes the detail View Object to be refreshed when master View Object's current row designation changes. Whenever the master row set iterator designates a new current row, the detail row set is notified to refresh itself. The RowSetListener objects listening for the detail row set's events will receive the rangeRefreshed() event.

A View Link also affects initialization of the "foreign key" attribute of a detail row. When a new detail row is created its foreign key attribute is taken from the master row set iterator's current row.

A View Link can be defined in three different ways:

• From an Entity Association. If an Entity Association joins two Entity Objects, then an application can define View Objects to represent the Entity Objects, and a View Link to represent the Entity Association.
• From a View Link Definition. A View Link Definition can be created at designtime to define a relationship between two View Object Definitions. The View Link Definition may be based on an Entity Association, or on a query statement relating the two View Object Definitions.
• From attribute sets. A View Link may be defined dynamically at runtime from two sets of attributes, describing the master and detail sides of the link, respectively.

Constructs a new View Link.

Method Detail

getImageLoc

public java.lang.String getImageLoc(boolean bOpen)

getDef

public DefObject getDef()

Internal: Applications should not use this method.

Gets the definition object from which this View Link was created.

Returns:

the definition object.

getDefName

public java.lang.String getDefName()

Gets the name of the View Link definition from which this view link was created.

Specified by:

getDefName in interface ComponentObject

Overrides:

getDefName in class ComponentObjectImpl

Returns:

the View Link definition name, without its package name.

getDefFullName

public java.lang.String getDefFullName()

Gets the full name of the View Link definition from which this view link ws created.

The name returned by this method is full qualified, that is, it starts with the package name.

If this View Link is created dynamically, rather than from a View Link definition, the fully qualified definition name does not contain a package name.

Specified by:

getDefFullName in interface ComponentObject

Overrides:

getDefFullName in class ComponentObjectImpl

Returns:

s fully qualified View Link definition name.

getViewLinkDef

public ViewLinkDefImpl getViewLinkDef()

Internal: Applications should not use this method.

Gets the View Link definition object from which this View Link was created.

Returns:

the View Link definition.

getSource

public ViewObject getSource()

Gets the master (source side) View Object.

Specified by:

getSource in interface ViewLink

Returns:

the master View Object.

setSource

public void setSource(ViewObject source)

Sets the master (source side) View Object.

Parameters:

source - the master View Object.

Throws:

InvalidParamException - if the master and detail are the same View Object, or if the View Object Definitions for source and the View Link definition's master do not match.

getDestination

public ViewObject getDestination()

Gets the detail (destination side) View Object.

Specified by:

getDestination in interface ViewLink

Returns:

the detail View Object.

setDestination

public void setDestination(ViewObject destination)

Sets the detail (destination side) View Object.

Parameters:

destination - the detail View Object.

Throws:

InvalidParamException - if the master and detail are the same View Object, or if the View Object Definitions for destination and the View Link definition's detail do not match.

isReversedUsage

public boolean isReversedUsage()

getSourceAccessor

public AttributeDef getSourceAccessor()
