public class TLcdAIXM51Link<T extends ILcdDataObject>
extends TLcdDataObject

Models a link from one AIXM object to another. The owns property defines if the linked object is owned (composition) or not.

This class is typically used as a UML association class. This means that it implements an association between two other classes. The object property (implemented by getObject() and setObject(ILcdDataObject)) is the role property of this association. In the large majority of cases, only the value of the role property is used by applications. In those cases, the association class can be considered to be a mere wrapper. Because of this, the API of the domain objects was made such that these association classes are not visible in the API. The getters and setters for properties of which the type is an association class directly expose the role property. Wrapping and unwrapping is done automatically by the implementation. Only when the application uses the generic ILcdDataObject API to access the domain objects, these association classes become visible.
