Class ClassificationDef

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable
    public class ClassificationDef
extends TypeDef
    ClassificationDef stores the properties for the definition of a type of classification. Many of the properties are inherited from TypeDef. ClassificationDef adds a list of Entity Types that this Classification can be connected to and a boolean to indicate if this classification is propagatable.

    • Constructor Detail

      • ClassificationDef

        public ClassificationDef()
        Minimal constructor sets up an empty ClassificationDef.

      • ClassificationDef

        public ClassificationDef​(TypeDefCategory category,
                         String guid,
                         String name,
                         long version,
                         String versionName)
        Typical constructor is passed the properties of the typedef's super class being constructed.
        Parameters:
        category - category of this TypeDef
        guid - unique id for the TypeDef
        name - unique name for the TypeDef
        version - active version number for the TypeDef
        versionName - name for active version of the TypeDef

      • ClassificationDef

        public ClassificationDef​(ClassificationDef template)
        Copy/clone constructor copies values from the supplied template.
        Parameters:
        template - template to copy

        Specified by:
        cloneFromSubclass in class TypeDef
        Returns:
        subclass of TypeDef

      • getValidEntityDefs

        public List<TypeDefLink> getValidEntityDefs()
        Return the list of identifiers for the types of entities that this type of Classification can be connected to.
        Returns:
        List of entity type identifiers

      • setValidEntityDefs

        public void setValidEntityDefs​(List<TypeDefLink> validEntityDefs)
        Set up the list of identifiers for the types of entities that this type of Classification can be connected to.

        validEntityDefs - List of entity type identifiers

      • isPropagatable

        public boolean isPropagatable()
        Return whether this classification should propagate to other entities if the relationship linking them allows classification propagation.

        boolean flag

      • setPropagatable

        public void setPropagatable​(boolean propagatable)
        Sets up whether this classification should propagate to other entities if the relationship linking them allows classification propagation.
        Parameters:
        propagatable - boolean flag
