Interface DataEntity.Role

All Known Implementing Classes:

Resources.DataRole, ResourceTypes.DataRole

Enclosing class:

DataEntity

public static interface DataEntity.Role

An interface a Data entity role must implement.

Data entity roles are supposed to be enums, but to ensure type safety, we have to have different enums for different entity types. I.e. resources can only have data of roles from the Resources.DataRole enum and resource types only from ResourceTypes.DataRole enum. To achieve this, the DataEntity class works with instances of this interface (which all the individual enums have to implement) and these enums have to be "registered" in the private class of data entity - RoleInstanceHolder. Because our data model is not extensible this is easily achieved.
