Method Detail

getNamespaceId

public java.lang.String getNamespaceId()

Overrides:

getNamespaceId in class oracle.odi.domain.root.NamedObject

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:

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 oracle.odi.domain.root.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 oracle.odi.domain.root.Root

Returns:

The owner class instance.

getDisplayableTypeName

public java.lang.String getDisplayableTypeName()

Description copied from interface: IRoot

Get a user-displayable type name for the object.

Specified by:

getDisplayableTypeName in interface IRoot

Specified by:

getDisplayableTypeName in class oracle.odi.domain.root.Root

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class oracle.odi.domain.root.Root
