public interface ItemDefinitionDelegator<I extends Item<?,?>> extends DefinitionDelegator, ItemDefinition<I>

  • Method Details

    • delegate

      ItemDefinition<I> delegate()
      Specified by:
      delegate in interface DefinitionDelegator

    • canRead

      default boolean canRead()
      Description copied from interface: PrismItemAccessDefinition
      Returns true if this item can be read (displayed). In case of containers this flag is, strictly speaking, not applicable. Container is an empty shell. What matters is access to individual sub-item. However, for containers this value has a "hint" meaning. It means that the container itself contains something that is readable. Which can be used as a hint by the presentation to display container label or block. This usually happens if the container contains at least one readable item. This does NOT mean that also all the container items can be displayed. The sub-item permissions are controlled by similar properties on the items. This property only applies to the container itself: the "shell" of the container.

      Note: It was considered to use a different meaning for this flag - a meaning that would allow canRead()=false containers to have readable items. However, this was found not to be very useful. Therefore the "something readable inside" meaning was confirmed instead.

    • getItemName

      @NotNull default @NotNull ItemName getItemName()
      Description copied from interface: ItemDefinition
      Gets the "canonical" name of the item for the definition. Should be qualified, if at all possible.
      Specified by:
      getItemName in interface ItemDefinition<I extends Item<?,?>>

    • getMinOccurs

      default int getMinOccurs()
      Description copied from interface: ItemDefinition
      Return the number of minimal value occurrences.
      Specified by:
      getMinOccurs in interface ItemDefinition<I extends Item<?,?>>

    • getMaxOccurs

      default int getMaxOccurs()
      Description copied from interface: ItemDefinition
      Return the number of maximal value occurrences. Any negative number means "unbounded".
      Specified by:
      getMaxOccurs in interface ItemDefinition<I extends Item<?,?>>

    • isOperational

      default boolean isOperational()
      Description copied from interface: ItemDefinition
      Marks operational item. Operational properties are auxiliary data (or meta-data) that are usually not modifiable by the end user. They are generated and maintained by the system. Operational items are also not usually displayed unless it is explicitly requested. The example of operational items are modification timestamps, create timestamps, user that made the last change, etc. They are also treated in a special way when comparing values. See ParameterizedEquivalenceStrategy.
      Specified by:
      isOperational in interface ItemDefinition<I extends Item<?,?>>

    • isIndexOnly

      default boolean isIndexOnly()
      Description copied from interface: ItemDefinition
      If true, this item is not stored in XML representation in repo. TODO better name
      Specified by:
      isIndexOnly in interface ItemDefinition<I extends Item<?,?>>

    • canModify

      default boolean canModify()
      Description copied from interface: PrismItemAccessDefinition
      Returns true if this item can be modified (updated). In case of containers this means that the container itself should be displayed in modification forms E.g. that the container label or block should be displayed. This usually happens if the container contains at least one modifiable item. This does NOT mean that also all the container items can be modified. The sub-item permissions are controlled by similar properties on the items. This property only applies to the container itself: the "shell" of the container.
      Specified by:
      canModify in interface PrismItemAccessDefinition

    • isInherited

      default boolean isInherited()
      Description copied from interface: ItemDefinition
      Whether the item is inherited from a supertype.
      Specified by:
      isInherited in interface ItemDefinition<I extends Item<?,?>>

    • isDynamic

      default boolean isDynamic()
      Description copied from interface: ItemDefinition
      Returns true if definition was created during the runtime based on a dynamic information such as xsi:type attributes in XML. This means that the definition needs to be stored alongside the data to have a successful serialization "roundtrip". The definition is not part of any schema and therefore cannot be determined. It may even be different for every instance of the associated item (element name).
      Specified by:
      isDynamic in interface ItemDefinition<I extends Item<?,?>>

    • canAdd

      default boolean canAdd()
      Description copied from interface: PrismItemAccessDefinition
      Returns true if this item can be added: it can be part of an object that is created. In case of containers this means that the container itself should be displayed in creation forms E.g. that the container label or block should be displayed. This usually happens if the container contains at least one createable item. This does NOT mean that also all the container items can be created. The sub-item permissions are controlled by similar properties on the items. This property only applies to the container itself: the "shell" of the container.
      Specified by:
      canAdd in interface PrismItemAccessDefinition

      Description copied from interface: ItemDefinition
      Returns the name of an element this one can be substituted for (e.g. c:user -> c:object, s:pipeline -> s:expression, etc). EXPERIMENTAL
      Specified by:

    • getValueEnumerationRef

      default PrismReferenceValue getValueEnumerationRef()
      Description copied from interface: ItemDefinition
      Reference to an object that directly or indirectly represents possible values for this item. We do not define here what exactly the object has to be. It can be a lookup table, script that dynamically produces the values or anything similar. The object must produce the values of the correct type for this item otherwise an error occurs.
      Specified by:
      getValueEnumerationRef in interface ItemDefinition<I extends Item<?,?>>

    • isValidFor

      default boolean isValidFor(@NotNull @NotNull QName elementQName, @NotNull @NotNull Class<? extends ItemDefinition<?>> clazz, boolean caseInsensitive)
      Description copied from interface: ItemDefinition
      Returns true if this definition is valid for given element name and definition class, in either case-sensitive (the default) or case-insensitive way. Used e.g. for "slow" path lookup where we iterate over all definitions in a complex type.

      default void debugDumpShortToString(StringBuilder sb)
      Description copied from interface: ItemDefinition
      Used in debugDumping items. Does not need to have name in it as item already has it. Does not need to have class as that is just too much info that is almost anytime pretty obvious anyway.

      Description copied from interface: ItemDefinition
      Returns complex type definition of item, if underlying value is possible structured. NOTE: This seems weird, since properties and references are simple values, but actually object reference is serialized as structured value and some of properties are also.
