    • getValueSet

      public abstract org.faktorips.valueset.ValueSet<?> getValueSet(IModelObject modelObject, IValidationContext context)
      Returns the value set of the given model object's attribute identified by this model type attribute.

      Note: If the PolicyCmptType this PolicyAttribute belongs to defines an UnrestrictedValueSet including null, no method is generated by Faktor-IPS. Therefore, a value set method in a subclass is not found even if the IModelObject passed to this method is an instance of that subclass. To make sure to get the correct value set, always use IpsModel.getPolicyCmptType(IModelObject) on the actual IModelObject instead of IpsModel.getPolicyCmptType(Class) on the super class.

      Parameters:
      modelObject - a model object
      Throws:
      IllegalStateException - if the method that should return a value set for this attribute has too many arguments
      IllegalArgumentException - if the invocation of the method that should return a value set for this attribute fails for any reason

    • getValueSet

      public org.faktorips.valueset.ValueSet<?> getValueSet(IModelObject modelObject)
      Returns the value set of the given model object's attribute identified by this model type attribute.

      Note: If the PolicyCmptType this PolicyAttribute belongs to defines an UnrestrictedValueSet including null, no method is generated by Faktor-IPS. Therefore, a value set method in a subclass is not found even if the IModelObject passed to this method is an instance of that subclass. To make sure to get the correct value set, always use IpsModel.getPolicyCmptType(IModelObject) on the actual IModelObject instead of IpsModel.getPolicyCmptType(Class) on the super class.

      This method uses a default IValidationContext.
      Parameters:
      modelObject - a model object
      Throws:
      IllegalStateException - if the method that should return a value set for this attribute has too many arguments
      IllegalArgumentException - if the invocation of the method that should return a value set for this attribute fails for any reason

      public abstract org.faktorips.valueset.ValueSet<?> getValueSet(IProductComponent source, Calendar effectiveDate, IValidationContext context)
      Returns the value set of the given model object's attribute identified by this model type attribute. Returns an UnrestrictedValueSet if there is no method that returns a value set for this attribute.
      Parameters:

    • setValueSet

      public abstract void setValueSet(IConfigurableModelObject modelObject, org.faktorips.valueset.ValueSet<?> valueSet)
      Sets the product configured set of allowed values of the attribute identified by this model type attribute.

      Caution: as generics are erased at runtime, it is possible to set a ValueSet of a mismatched type with this method, for example an OrderedValueSet<String> for an attribute with Attribute.getDatatype() Integer, which will result in a ClassCastException on later method calls.

      Parameters:
      modelObject - the configurable model object from which product component and (if necessary) effective date can be retrieved
      valueSet - the new value set
      Throws:
