contributeMetadata

public Collection<MetadatumDTO> contributeMetadata(T t)

a separate Metadatum object is created for each index of Metadatum returned from the calls to MetadatumContributor.contributeMetadata(t) for each MetadatumContributor in the metadatumContributors list. We assume that each contributor returns the same amount of Metadatum objects

Specified by:

contributeMetadata in interface MetadataContributor<T>

t - the object we are trying to translate

Returns:

a collection of metadata composed by each MetadataContributor

getField

public MetadataFieldConfig getField()

Return the MetadataFieldConfig used while retrieving MetadatumDTO

Returns:

MetadataFieldConfig

setField

public void setField(MetadataFieldConfig field)

Setting the MetadataFieldConfig

Parameters:

field - MetadataFieldConfig used while retrieving MetadatumDTO

getMetadatumContributors

public LinkedList<MetadataContributor> getMetadatumContributors()

Return the List of MetadataContributor objects set to this class

Returns:

metadatumContributors, list of MetadataContributor

setMetadatumContributors

public void setMetadatumContributors(LinkedList<MetadataContributor> metadatumContributors)

Set the List of MetadataContributor objects set to this class

Parameters:

metadatumContributors - A list of MetadatumContributor classes

getSeparator

public String getSeparator()

Return the separator used to differentiate between distinct values

Returns:

the separator used to differentiate between distinct values

setSeparator

public void setSeparator(String separator)
