public abstract class OMFConverter<B>
extends OpenMetadataAPIGenericConverter<B>

OMFConverter provides the generic methods for the OCF beans converters. Generic classes have limited knowledge of the classes these are working on and this means creating a new instance of a class from within a generic is a little involved. This class provides the generic method for creating and initializing a Data Manager bean.

 org.odpi.openmetadata.repositoryservices.connectors.stores.metadatacollectionstore.properties.instances.Relationship relationship,
 String methodName)
                                                                                                throws org.odpi.openmetadata.frameworks.connectors.ffdc.PropertyServerException

Using the supplied instances, return a new instance of a relatedElement bean. This is used for beans that contain a combination of the properties from an entity and that of a connected relationship.

Overrides:

getRelatedElement in class OpenMetadataAPIGenericConverter<B>

Parameters:

beanClass - name of the class to create

entity - entity containing the properties

relationship - relationship containing the properties

methodName - calling method

Returns:

bean populated with properties from the instances supplied

Throws:

org.odpi.openmetadata.frameworks.connectors.ffdc.PropertyServerException - there is a problem instantiating the bean
