Method Details

getTargetType

public ElementType getTargetType()

Description copied from interface: IReferenceDS

This method returns the type of the element that is referred to.

Specified by:

getTargetType in interface IReferenceDS

Returns:

The type of the element that is referred to.

getPresentationStyles

public String[] getPresentationStyles()

Description copied from interface: IReferenceDS

The containment determines the styles in which an element is shown. A unique element can be included in different containers, but shown in different styles. The styles is sometimes also referred to as the format of the element.

Specified by:

getPresentationStyles in interface IReferenceDS

Returns:

The styles in which the element should be shown.

getPresentationStyleCondition

public String getPresentationStyleCondition(String presentationStyle)

Description copied from interface: IReferenceDS

Returns the precondition for a presentationStyle.

Specified by:

getPresentationStyleCondition in interface IReferenceDS

Parameters:

presentationStyle - The name of the presentationStyle, not null.

Returns:

The precondition, or null in case no precondition was defined.

getContentStyle

public String getContentStyle()

Description copied from interface: IReferenceDS

The containment determines can override the content style in which an element is shown.

Specified by:

getContentStyle in interface IReferenceDS

Returns:

The content style in which the element should be shown.

getReadonlyCondition

public String getReadonlyCondition()

Description copied from interface: IReferenceDS

The condition that will determine if the element that is referred is shown read only. Usually this condition will contain either 'true' or 'false', but is may also contain a complex expression returning a boolean.

Specified by:

getReadonlyCondition in interface IReferenceDS

Returns:

The condition that will determine if the element that is referred is shown read only.

getCondition

public String getCondition()

Description copied from interface: IReferenceDS

This method returns the optional condition expression that should be evaluated to determine if the element that is referred to should be included.

Specified by:

getCondition in interface IReferenceDS

Returns:

The condition expression that determines if the referred element item is applicable.

isRefreshElement

public boolean isRefreshElement()

Description copied from interface: IReferenceDS

This method returns a boolean indicating if a 'refresh' event should be generated when the value of the referred element changes. The refresh property is usually only relevant for field and button elements.

Specified by:

isRefreshElement in interface IReferenceDS

Returns:

boolean indicating if a 'refresh' event should be generated when the value of the referred element changes.

getCreateInstanceForEmptyRelation

public boolean getCreateInstanceForEmptyRelation()

Description copied from interface: IReferenceDS

This method may be implemented to indicate that an instance is created when the value of the relation is empty.

Specified by:

getCreateInstanceForEmptyRelation in interface IReferenceDS

Returns:

boolean indicating if empty relations should trigger the creation of an instance.

getButtonActions

public String[] getButtonActions()

Description copied from interface: IReferenceDS

This method returns the action of a button reference.

Specified by:

getButtonActions in interface IReferenceDS

Returns:

the action of a button reference.

getButtonEvent

public String getButtonEvent()

Description copied from interface: IReferenceDS

This method returns the event of a button reference.

Specified by:

getButtonEvent in interface IReferenceDS

Returns:

the event of a button reference.

getAssetFormat

public String getAssetFormat()

Description copied from interface: IReferenceDS

This method returns the format that should be used when the reference is pointing to an asset (text).

Specified by:

getAssetFormat in interface IReferenceDS

Returns:

the format that should be used when the reference is pointing to an asset (text).

getDisplayLength

public IntegerValue getDisplayLength()

Description copied from interface: IReferenceDS

This method returns the maximum length of the element that is referred. This property is usually used for containments referring field elements. This method should return null or unknown when reference refers to an element that has no display length.

Specified by:

getDisplayLength in interface IReferenceDS

Returns:

This method returns the maximum length of the element that is referred.

getMaskCallName

public String getMaskCallName()

Description copied from interface: IReferenceDS

This method returns the mask call of the element that is referred. This property is usually used for containments referring field elements.

Specified by:

getMaskCallName in interface IReferenceDS

Returns:

This method returns the mask call name of the element that is referred.

getRepeatExpression

public String getRepeatExpression()

Description copied from interface: IReferenceDS

This method returns the optional repeat expression that should be used to determine the context of the element. The repeat expression can be a relation attribute containing the instance that should be active when evaluating the content item that is referred to.

Specified by:

getRepeatExpression in interface IReferenceDS

Returns:

The expression that should be used to determine the context.

getSortAttribute

public String getSortAttribute()

Description copied from interface: IReferenceDS

This method returns the attribute that should be used to sort the instances on that where returned from the context expression. When no attribute is specified, the instances will be sorted on ID. This method is only relevant when a context expression has been specified.

This method returns a boolean indicating if the instances should be sorted in ascending order. This method is only relevant when a context expression has been specified.

Specified by:

sortAscending in interface IReferenceDS

Returns:

a boolean indicating if the instances should be sorted in ascending order.

isLinkedViaRelationAttribute

public boolean isLinkedViaRelationAttribute()

Description copied from interface: IReferenceDS

This (temporary) method describes if the element is linked via a relation attribute. For example two containers that are linked via a relation attribute. In the future this will be replaced by a repeat expression.

Specified by:

isLinkedViaRelationAttribute in interface IReferenceDS

Returns:

Boolean indicating if the reference is a link via a releation attribute.

getHeight

public IntegerValue getHeight()
