    • getEntityName

      public String getEntityName()
      Description copied from interface: IAttributeNode
      This method will return the name of the entity the attribute node belongs to. The entity name of this node needs not be the same as the entity the attribute was defined in, as a single attribute may be represented by several attribute nodes belonging to different entities.
      Specified by:
      getEntityName in interface IAttributeNode
      Returns:
      the name of the entity the attribute node belongs to.

    • getAttributeName

      public String getAttributeName()
      Description copied from interface: IAttributeNode
      This method will return the name of the attribute the node represents.
      Specified by:
      getAttributeName in interface IAttributeNode
      Returns:
      the name of the attribute the node represents.

    • getFullName

      protected String getFullName()

    • getParentNode

      public IAttributeNode getParentNode()
      Description copied from interface: IAttributeNode
      This method returns the node representing this same attribute in the super type of the current entity. If the entity that contains the attribute this node represents does not have a super-type, then the method will return a null value.
      Specified by:
      getParentNode in interface IAttributeNode
      Returns:
      The attribute node of the attribute in the super-type entity.

    • getBusinessRules

      public IBusinessRule[] getBusinessRules(RuleType type)
      Description copied from interface: IAttributeNode
      This method returns the business rules that are directly coupled to this attribute node. The resulting array is not sorted in any way. The resulting array will never be null, but the array may be empty when no rules are found.
      Specified by:
      getBusinessRules in interface IAttributeNode
      Parameters:
      type - The type of the business rules that are requested.
      Returns:
