Method Detail

getM4TableName

public java.lang.String getM4TableName()

Specified by:

getM4TableName in interface M4Table

See Also:

M4Table.getM4TableName()

getIdAttributeName

public java.lang.String getIdAttributeName()

Specified by:

getIdAttributeName in interface M4Table

See Also:

M4Table.getIdAttributeName()

getM4Info

public M4Info getM4Info()

Specified by:

getM4Info in interface M4Table

See Also:

M4Table.getM4Info()

getXmlInfo

public M4Info getXmlInfo()

Specified by:

getXmlInfo in interface XmlInfo

Returns:

a M4Info object with the information of all XML fields of this object.

See Also:

XmlInfo.getXmlInfo()

print

public void print()

Description copied from class: M4Object

Print this M4 object's parameters. Must be implemented by all subclasses.

print in class M4Object

See Also:

M4Object.print()

getObjectsInNamespace

protected java.util.Collection getObjectsInNamespace(java.lang.Class typeOfObjects)
                                              throws M4Exception

Description copied from class: M4Data

This method returns the objects of the specified type that form a namespace in the scope of this M4Data object. For example, a Concept's namespace for the type BaseAttribute is the Collection of all BaseAttributes for this Concept. Many M4Data objects never have a namespace, they return null. If a namespace could exist but doesn't, an empty Collection is returned.

Specified by:

getObjectsInNamespace in class M4Data

Parameters:

typeOfObjects - the type of objects that form the namespace

Returns:

a Collection of objects of type typeOfObjects, or null.

Throws:

M4Exception

See Also:

M4Data.getObjectsInNamespace(Class)

getSubConcept

public Concept getSubConcept()

Getter method.

Returns:

the Concept stored as the Sub-Concept in

getSuperConcept

public Concept getSuperConcept()

Getter method.

Returns:

the Concept stored as the Super-Concept

setSubConcept

public void setSubConcept(Concept subConcept)
                   throws M4Exception

Setter method for the Sub-Concept

Parameters:

subConcept - the Concept to be set as the new Sub-Concept

Throws:

M4Exception

setSuperConcept

public void setSuperConcept(Concept superConcept)
                     throws M4Exception

Setter method for the Super-Concept

Parameters:

superConcept - the Concept to be set as the new Super-Concept

Throws:

M4Exception

primitiveSetSubConcept

public void primitiveSetSubConcept(Concept subConcept)

Primitive setter, do not use it!

Parameters:

subConcept - the new From-Concept to be set

primitiveSetSuperConcept

public void primitiveSetSuperConcept(Concept superConcept)

Primitive setter, do not use it!

Parameters:

superConcept - the new From-Concept to be set

removeAllM4References

protected void removeAllM4References()
                              throws M4Exception

Description copied from class: M4Data

This method needs to be implemented by all M4Data objects. It has to remove all references to other M4Objects.

Specified by:

removeAllM4References in class M4Data

Throws:

M4Exception
