Method Detail

getAssocType

public ClassificationNode getAssocType()

Each Association MUST have an associationType attribute that identifies the type of that association. The value of the associationType attribute MUST be a reference to a ClassificationNode within the canonical AssociationType ClassificationScheme. While the AssociationType scheme MAY easily be extended, a Registry MUST support the canonical association types as defined by the canonical AssociationType ClassificationScheme.

Returns:

setAssocType

public void setAssocType(ClassificationNode assocType)

getSourceObject

public RegistryObject getSourceObject()

Each Association MUST have a sourceObject attribute that references the RegistryObject instance that is the source of that Association.

Returns:

setSourceObject

public void setSourceObject(RegistryObject sourceObject)

getTargetObject

public RegistryObject getTargetObject()

Each Association MUST have a targetObject attribute that references the RegistryObject instance that is the target of that Association.

Returns:

setTargetObject

public void setTargetObject(RegistryObject targetObject)

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Identifiable
