Method Detail

getOid

String getOid()

OID of the object that this reference refers to (reference target). May return null, but the reference is in that case incomplete and unusable.

Returns:

the target oid

setOid

void setOid(String oid)

getObject

PrismObject getObject()

Returns object that this reference points to. The object is supposed to be used for caching and optimizations. Only oid and type of the object really matters for the reference. The object is transient. It will NOT be serialized. Therefore the client must expect that the object can disappear when serialization boundary is crossed. The client must expect that the object is null.

setObject

void setObject(PrismObject object)

getTargetType

QName getTargetType()

Returns XSD type of the object that this reference refers to. It may be used in XPath expressions and similar filters. May return null if the type name is not set.

Returns:

the target type name

setTargetType

void setTargetType(QName targetType)

setTargetType

void setTargetType(QName targetType,
                   boolean allowEmptyNamespace)

Parameters:

targetType -

allowEmptyNamespace - This is an ugly hack. See comment in DOMUtil.validateNonEmptyQName.

getTargetName

PolyString getTargetName()

Returns cached name of the target object. This is a ephemeral value. It may be computed at object retrieval time or it may not be present at all. This is NOT an authoritative information. Setting it or changing it will not influence the reference meaning. OID is the only authoritative linking mechanism.

Returns:

cached name of the target object.

setTargetName

void setTargetName(PolyString name)

setTargetName

void setTargetName(PolyStringType name)

getTargetTypeCompileTimeClass

Class<Objectable> getTargetTypeCompileTimeClass()

getTargetTypeCompileTimeClass

Class<Objectable> getTargetTypeCompileTimeClass(PrismContext prismContext)

getRelation

QName getRelation()

setRelation

void setRelation(QName relation)

relation

PrismReferenceValue relation(QName relation)

getDescription

String getDescription()

setDescription

void setDescription(String description)

getFilter

SearchFilterType getFilter()

setFilter

void setFilter(SearchFilterType filter)

getResolutionTime

EvaluationTimeType getResolutionTime()

setResolutionTime

void setResolutionTime(EvaluationTimeType resolutionTime)

getReferentialIntegrity

ReferentialIntegrityType getReferentialIntegrity()

setReferentialIntegrity

void setReferentialIntegrity(ReferentialIntegrityType referentialIntegrity)

getDefinition

PrismReferenceDefinition getDefinition()

findPartial

<IV extends PrismValue,ID extends ItemDefinition> PartiallyResolvedItem<IV,ID> findPartial(ItemPath path)

applyDefinition

void applyDefinition(ItemDefinition definition,
                     boolean force)
              throws SchemaException

Specified by:

applyDefinition in interface PrismValue

Throws:

SchemaException

applyDefinition

void applyDefinition(PrismReferenceDefinition definition,
                     boolean force)
              throws SchemaException

Throws:

SchemaException

toCanonical

PrismReferenceValue toCanonical()

Returns a version of this value that is canonical, that means it has the minimal form. E.g. it will have only OID and no object.

asReferencable

Referencable asReferencable()

debugDump

String debugDump(int indent,
                 boolean expandObject)

clone

PrismReferenceValue clone()

Description copied from interface: PrismValue

Literal clone.

Specified by:

clone in interface PrismValue

createImmutableClone

PrismReferenceValue createImmutableClone()

Specified by:

createImmutableClone in interface PrismValue

cloneComplex

PrismReferenceValue cloneComplex(CloneStrategy strategy)

Description copied from interface: PrismValue

Complex clone with different cloning strategies.

Specified by:

cloneComplex in interface PrismValue

See Also:

CloneStrategy

getRealClass

Class<?> getRealClass()

Specified by:

getRealClass in interface PrismValue

getRealValue

@Nullable
@Nullable Referencable getRealValue()

Description copied from interface: PrismValue

Returns the statically-typed "real value". TODO specify when exactly the returned value can be null. TODO decide for containers: they throw an exception if the value is not statically typed.

Specified by:

getRealValue in interface PrismValue
