Constructor Detail

ProductAssociation

public ProductAssociation(Type type,
                          Method getterMethod,
                          boolean changingOverTime)

Method Detail

createOverwritingAssociationFor

public ProductAssociation createOverwritingAssociationFor(Type subType)

Specified by:

createOverwritingAssociationFor in class Association

getType

public ProductCmptType getType()

Returns the ProductCmptType this association belongs to.

Overrides:

getType in class TypePart

getModelType

@Deprecated
public ProductCmptType getModelType()

Deprecated. Use getType()

Returns the model type this association belongs to.

Specified by:

getModelType in interface IModelTypeAssociation

Overrides:

getModelType in class TypePart

getTarget

public ProductCmptType getTarget()

Returns the target type of this association.

Specified by:

getTarget in interface IModelTypeAssociation

Overrides:

getTarget in class Association

getTargetObjects

public List<IProductComponent> getTargetObjects(IProductComponent productComponentSource,
                                                Calendar effectiveDate)

Returns a list of the target(s) of the given product component's association identified by this model type association. If this association is changing over time (resides in the generation) the date is used to retrieve the correct generation. If the date is null the latest generation is used. If the association is not changing over time the date will be ignored.

Parameters:

productComponentSource - a product object corresponding to the ProductCmptType this association belongs to

effectiveDate - The date that should be used to get the IProductComponentGeneration if this association is changing over time. May be null to get the latest generation.

Returns:

a list of the target(s) of the given model object's association identified by this model type association

Throws:

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

getMatchingAssociationSourceType

public PolicyCmptType getMatchingAssociationSourceType()

Returns the PolicyCmptType identified by Association.getMatchingAssociationSource()

Specified by:

getMatchingAssociationSourceType in interface IModelTypeAssociation

Overrides:

getMatchingAssociationSourceType in class Association

Returns:

The policy component type of the matching association source

See Also:

Association.getMatchingAssociationSource()

isChangingOverTime

public boolean isChangingOverTime()

Checks whether this association is changing over time (resides in the generation) or not (resides in the product component).

Returns:

true if this association is changing over time, else false
