Method Detail

getDataTypeUri

String getDataTypeUri()

setDataTypeUri

void setDataTypeUri(String dataTypeUri)

getIndexModes

List<IndexMode> getIndexModes()

addIndexMode

void addIndexMode(IndexMode indexMode)

getAssocDefs

Collection<AssociationDefinition> getAssocDefs()

getAssocDef

AssociationDefinition getAssocDef(String childTypeUri)

hasAssocDef

boolean hasAssocDef(String childTypeUri)

addAssocDef

void addAssocDef(AssociationDefinitionModel assocDef)

updateAssocDef

void updateAssocDef(AssociationDefinitionModel assocDef)

Note: in contrast to the other "update" methods this one updates the memory only, not the DB! If you want to update memory and DB use AssociationDefinition.update(de.deepamehta.core.model.AssociationDefinitionModel).

This method is here to support a special case: the user retypes an association which results in a changed type definition. In this case the DB is already up-to-date and only the type's memory representation must be updated. So, here the DB update is the *cause* for a necessary memory-update. Normally the situation is vice-versa: the DB update is the necessary *effect* of a memory-update.

### TODO: get rid of this peculiar situation and remove this method. This might be achieved by using the PRE_UPDATE_ASSOCIATION hook instead the POST_UPDATE_ASSOCIATION hook in the Type Editor module. On pre-update we would perform a regular AssociationDefinition.update(de.deepamehta.core.model.AssociationDefinitionModel) and suppress further processing by returning false.

Parameters:

assocDef - the new association definition. Note: in contrast to the other "update" methods this one does not support partial updates. That is all association definition fields must be initialized.
