public class RelationLine
extends MultiLine

Describes the relation to other entities.

Syntax:

 <class>: <property>=<value>[ <value> <value>], <property>=..., ...
 

Properties:

relation = <object|list|reversed> [composite] [tracked] [referenced] [processed] [readonly|writeonly|nomethod] [serialized] [remoteclear] [reversed]

• object: single object association [1:1]. This is the default.
• reversed: non-composite list relation that contains max. one object (reversed 1:1 object relation)
• list: list of objects [1:N]. ([N:M] see below nm = ...)
• composite: relation points to a component
• tracked: modification state of object or list is tracked
• referenced: set the parent reference on select and construction
• processed: invokes a processXXX-method on initialization, after select and before save
• readonly: don't generate set-method
• writeonly: don't generate get-method
• nomethod: don't generate set- and get-method (shorthand for readonly writeonly)
• serialized (only if lazy and not composite): lazy non-composite references are transient by default. "serialized" makes them non-transient.
• remoteclear: clear serialized relation before save (i.e. sending to server)

If the relation is associated to an attribute the readonly and writeonly flags are overwritten by the attribute.

select = <always|eager|lazy> [cached] [| wurbletargs]

• always: fetched on every get (default if cached)
• eager: fetched in advance whenever the main class is fetched
• lazy: fetched within the first get only (default if not cached)
• cached: use caching select methods if possible (only for objects-relations)
• wurbletargs: additional arguments passed to the PdoSelectList-wurblet (only for list-relations)
  Example: select = lazy | -pilePosition

delete = [cascade]

• cascade: composition is a list that contains compositions (only if model without integrity checks)

link = <name-of-link-method> [index]

• only for composite relations: special method to set the links in composite lists or objects in saveReferencingRelations.
  The methods arguments are fixed to (this).
• [index] is an integer attribute of the referenced entity.
  If [index] is set, (this, ndx) is invoked with index beginning at 0 (only for lists).

args = <foreign-attribute2>[<method> | <constant>] <foreign-attribute3>[<method> | <constant>]...

• second and more arguments passed to selectBy- or deleteBy-method. Only applicable to list relations.
  Example: args = forCreditor[isCreditor()] lineType[CalculationLineType.ON_CALCULATION]
  The first argument cannot be overwritten. For lists it is <name-of-current-entity>Id[getId()]
  For object relations it is id[get<name-of-relation>Id()]

method = <methodname>

• methodname: is the part of the method names, i.e. select[By]<methodname>, delete[By]<methodname>, set<methodname>
  [By] is added for lists.

name = <name>

• name: name of the relation. Defaults to <class>.
  The getter- and setter-names are generated as follows:
  get<name> and set<name> (always first letter in uppercase) for object-relations and get<name>List, set<name>List for list-relations.
  If <name> is explicitly set, the methods will be named get<name> and set<name> regardless of the relation type.

nm = <entity> [mnMethodName]

• entity: name of opposite entity the N:M relation.
• mnMethodName: optional method name to access the list of opposite entities.

The relation must be a list relation.

scope = <public|private|protected|package>

• sets the scope of the generated setter/getter-methods. Defaults to public.

count = <counter attribute>

• sets the counter attribute. Must be numeric. Only available for composite non-reversed list relations.

comment = <comment>

• to include in getter/setter comment
