Method Detail

getModelType

IModelType getModelType()

Returns the model type this attribute belongs to.

getDatatype

Class<?> getDatatype()
                     throws ClassNotFoundException

Returns:

this attribute's datatype Class.

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException - if the datatype's class can not be loaded.

getAttributeType

IModelTypeAttribute.AttributeType getAttributeType()

Returns:

the type of this attribute.

getValueSetType

IModelTypeAttribute.ValueSetType getValueSetType()

Returns the type of value set restricting this attribute

isProductRelevant

boolean isProductRelevant()

Returns if this attribute is product relevant.

getValue

Object getValue(IModelObject modelObject)

Returns the value of the given model object's attribute identified by this model type attribute.

Parameters:

modelObject - a model object corresponding to the IModelType this attribute belongs to

Returns:

the value of the given model object's attribute identified by this model type attribute

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the model object does not have an attribute fitting this model type attribute or that attribute is not accessible for any reason

setValue

void setValue(IModelObject modelObject,
              Object value)

Sets the given model object's attribute identified by this model type attribute to the given value. This only works for attributes of type IModelTypeAttribute.AttributeType.CHANGEABLE.

Parameters:

modelObject - a model object corresponding to the IModelType this attribute belongs to

value - an object of this model type attribute's datatype

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the model object does not have a changeable attribute fitting this model type attribute or that attribute is not accessible for any reason or the value does not fit the attribute's datatype.
