Method Detail

getAuthority

Authority getAuthority()

Retrieves the value for the reference authority.

Specified by:

getAuthority in interface Provider

Returns:

The non-null value for this reference.

getSegment

<T extends Segment> List<T> getSegment(SegmentQuery query)

Retrieves the value for the reference segment for the specified query. Note: This is an extension to the JMI 1 standard.
In order to remain standard compliant you should substitute this method with java.jdo.Query

Parameters:

query - predicate which is applied to the set of referenced objects.

Returns:

The objects for which the predicate evaluates to true.

getSegment

Segment getSegment(boolean qualifiedNameIsPersistent,
                   String qualifiedName)

Retrieves the value for the reference segment for the specified qualifier attribute value.

Specified by:

getSegment in interface Provider

Parameters:

qualifiedNameIsPersistent - Defines whether value for the qualifier is persistent or not

qualifiedName - The value for the qualifier attribute that qualifies this reference.

Returns:

The possibly null value for this qualifier

getSegment

Segment getSegment(String qualifiedName)

Retrieves the value for the reference segment for the specified qualifier attribute value.

This method is equivalent to the preferred invocation getSegment(false,qualifiedName).

Parameters:

qualifiedName - The value for the qualifier attribute that qualifies this reference.

Returns:

The possibly null value for this qualifier

addSegment

void addSegment(boolean qualifiedNameIsPersistent,
                String qualifiedName,
                Segment segment)

Adds the specified element to the set of the values for the reference segment.

Note: This is an extension to the JMI 1 standard.

Parameters:

qualifiedNameIsPersistent - true if qualifiedName is persistent

qualifiedName - The qualifier attribute value that qualifies the reference to get the element to be appended.

segment - The element to be appended.
