    • getDataSetReference

      AdaptationReference getDataSetReference()

    • getDataSpaceReference

      HomeKey getDataSpaceReference()
      Returns the reference of the dataspace of this association, if an external dataset in another dataspace is defined by the data model (property dataSpace); otherwise returns null.

    • getMinOccurs

      int getMinOccurs()
      Returns the value of minOccurs/value.

      Since:
      5.5.1

    • getConstraintPredicate

      String getConstraintPredicate()
      Returns the XPath expression (property constraint/xpath) defined to restrict associated records.
      Since:
      5.5.1

    • isLinkTable

      boolean isLinkTable()
      Returns true if this association is over a link table.
      Since:
      5.5.1
      See Also:

    • isTableRefInverse

      boolean isTableRefInverse()
      Returns true if this association is the inverse of a foreign key.
      Since:
      5.5.1
      See Also:

    • isXPathLink

      boolean isXPathLink()
      Returns true if this association is over an XPath predicate.

    • getRecordFormFactoryClass

      Class<?> getRecordFormFactoryClass()
      Returns the specific UserServiceAssociationRecordFormFactory class defined on this association node (property recordForm osd:class) or null if no UserServiceAssociationRecordFormFactory class has been defined.
      Since:
      5.9.0

    • isConsistent

      boolean isConsistent(Adaptation aRecordOrDataSet)
      Returns true if this association is consistent with the specified record or dataset.

      An association element is inconsistent with a given record or dataset when its definition is based on a reverse foreign key or a link table and the foreign key to the source table does not target the specified dataset.
