Class TLcdISO19118Property<T extends ILcdDataObject>
- All Implemented Interfaces:
ILcdDataObject
,ILcdCloneable
,ILcdDeepCloneable
,Cloneable
This class represents the property type concept. A property is defined as a link from one object to another.
This link can be implemented by Value using
an embedded object (see getEmbeddedObject()
), or by Reference through an xlink (see TLcdISO19118ObjectReference.getLinkedObject()
.
The names of the XML schema types that are mapped on this class typically end with PropertyType.
This class is typically used as a UML association class. This means that it implements
an association between two other classes. The object property EMBEDDED_OBJECT_PROPERTY
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.

Method Details
-
getEmbeddedObject
Gets the object that is directly linked to this object. In the XML representation this link is presented through direct embedding.- Returns:
- the linked object.
-
setEmbeddedObject
Sets the embedded object.- Parameters:
aValue
- the embedded object to be set.
-
getObject
Returns the object to which this link points. If the embedded object is empty, the linked object is returned.- Returns:
- the object to which this link points
