public class OdiSkipLevel
extends oracle.odi.domain.support.AbstractRepositoryEntity
implements ISkipLevel

A class to represent a skip level in a dimension hierarchy. A skip level provides an alternate parent level reference for the level in the hierarchy. The alternate parent level reference can be used if a particular child record has no parent record of its normal parent type, as defined by the parent reference object.

                    OdiParentRef skipLevelParentRef)

OdiSkipLevel constructor.

Parameters:

owningHierMember - The owning hierarchy member for this skip level. Cannot be null.

skipLevelParentRef - The parent reference to use when skipping the normal parent level, for skip level records.

OdiSkipLevel

public OdiSkipLevel(OdiHierarchyMember owningHierMember,
                    OdiLevel skipToLevel)

OdiSkipLevel constructor.

owningHierMember - The owning hierarchy member for this skip level. Cannot be null.

skipLevelParentRef - The parent level to use when skipping the normal parent level, for skip level records. The parent reference object will be found or created as needed.

Method Detail

getInternalId

public java.io.Serializable getInternalId()

Description copied from interface: IRepositoryEntity

Provides a common getter for the persistence layer to obtain an identity, irrespective of the actual type of identity used.

Typically a subclass will delegate to a public SomePrimitiveWrapper getId() method. The necessity for the getInternalId() abstract method is solely because the persistence layer needs a way of obtaining the identity irrespective of the actual identity implementation choice.

Returning null from this method will indicate the object has never been saved. This will likely be relied on by some DAO implementations.

Specified by:

getInternalId in interface IRepositoryEntity

Returns:

the persistence identity of this instance

getSkipLevelId

public java.lang.Number getSkipLevelId()

getHierarchyMember

public OdiHierarchyMember getHierarchyMember()

Description copied from interface: ISkipLevel

Get the owning hierarchy member for this skip level object.

Specified by:

getHierarchyMember in interface ISkipLevel

Returns:

the owning HierMember

getParentRef

public OdiParentRef getParentRef()

Description copied from interface: ISkipLevel

Get the parent reference object that will be used for the skip level parent references, for skip level records.

Specified by:

getParentRef in interface ISkipLevel

Returns:

The ParentRef of the skipped level.

setParentRef

public void setParentRef(OdiParentRef parentRef)

Description copied from interface: ISkipLevel

Set the parent reference object that will be used for the skip level parent references, for skip level records.

Specified by:

setParentRef in interface ISkipLevel

Parameters:

parentRef - The skipped ParentRef to set.
