Method Detail

getIdentifier

String getIdentifier()

An identifier that is unique among all the resources of the same type (see getResourceType()).

getResourceType

default ResourceType getResourceType()

Get the resource type classifier

getDependencies

default List<Resource> getDependencies()

A list of dependent resources.

The dependency list is used for instance to determine if a user can access a given resource. Should the access to all its dependencies is denied, it is denied for this instance as well.

Returns:

A list of resources, never null.

isType

default boolean isType(String typeName)

Check if this resource is of the provided type. The type name is used here so this method can be used on instances from external (GWT-compiled) scripts (enum equals and instanceof doesn't work across script boundaries).

Parameters:

typeName - the resource type's name

Returns:

true if the resource has the provided type, otherwise false.
