Different types of objects use different names to find a child object. For example, BusinessEditorManager.findBusinessObject(String name) may use either FullName or just simple Name attribute value of the BusinessObject in the search. LookupManager.findLookupType(String code) will use LookupType attribute as the code.

attribute whose value will be used as the resource name of this object

getInternalName

Name that will represent the resource id for this object. This will be typically the value of the primary/finder key. The name is initialized during constructor of the object based on the JSON structure and the finder key value. This is not necessarily the name returned by getName() or the name that is used to identify the object in a findChild.

Returns:

resource name that represents this object in a ReST URL path

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

setName

public void setName(java.lang.String name)

Renames this object. It throws BaseObject.ChildAlreadyExists if there is a name clash. Whether the name can be overloaded or not is left to the findChild(Class, Matcher)

name - new name

setDescription

public void setDescription(java.lang.String text)

getDescription

public java.lang.String getDescription()

getAttribute

protected java.lang.Object getAttribute(java.lang.String attrName)

For example, functions from global functions or different business objects might match in signature but not equal as their URL path will be different.

Returns:

gets a Matcher that would typically match this object

getChildrenDeleted

protected java.util.List<oracle.adfinternal.businesseditor.restapi.BaseObject> getChildrenDeleted(BaseObject.Matcher childMatcher)

type - Class instance of type T

matcher - Matcher that is used to find the correct children

Returns:

list of children of given type and matching the given Matcher
