Method Summary

IWDRepositoryModelClass	createRelatedModelObject(java.lang.String rolename, java.lang.String name) Creates a new child object for the given relation.
IWDRepositoryModelClass	createRelatedModelObject(java.lang.String rolename, java.lang.String name, IWDRepositoryModelClassInfo modelClassInfo) Creates a new child object for the given relation.
boolean	deleteRelatedModelObject(java.lang.String rolename, IWDRepositoryModelClass o) Deletes the given child object from the given relation.
java.lang.String	getAttributeValue(java.lang.String name, java.util.Locale locale) Returns the value of an attribute for the specified locale.
java.lang.String	getName() Returns the name of the repository object.
IWDRepositoryModelClass	getParent() Returns the parent of this object.
IWDRepositoryModelClass	getPersonalizationObject() Returns the personalization repository object for this repository object.
IWDRepositoryModel	getRepositoryModel() Returns the repository model of this repository object.
IWDRepositoryModel	getRepositoryRoot() Deprecated. To improve consistency across the Web Dynpro API, this method has been renamed to getRepositoryModel(). The method with the old name has been kept for backward compatiblity, but may be withdrawn with the first new NetWeaver release in 2006.
boolean	isVersionableModelObject() Returns true, iff the current object is a versionable model object.
void	setAttributeValue(java.lang.String name, java.lang.String value, java.util.Locale locale) Sets the attribute value.

Method Detail

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Returns the name of the repository object.

Returns:

the name of the repository object

getParent

public IWDRepositoryModelClass getParent()

Returns the parent of this object.

Returns:

the parent of this object or null, if the object has no parent

getPersonalizationObject

public IWDRepositoryModelClass getPersonalizationObject()

Returns the personalization repository object for this repository object. Throws an exception if no personalization repository object is available.

Returns:

the personalization repository object for this repository object

getRepositoryRoot

public IWDRepositoryModel getRepositoryRoot()

Deprecated. To improve consistency across the Web Dynpro API, this method has been renamed to getRepositoryModel(). The method with the old name has been kept for backward compatiblity, but may be withdrawn with the first new NetWeaver release in 2006.

Returns the repository root of this repository object.

Returns:

the repository root of this repository object

getRepositoryModel

public IWDRepositoryModel getRepositoryModel()

Returns the repository model of this repository object.

Returns:

the repository model of this repository object

createRelatedModelObject

public IWDRepositoryModelClass createRelatedModelObject(java.lang.String rolename,
                                                        java.lang.String name)

Creates a new child object for the given relation. Preconditions:
rolename is not empty
name is not empty
name must only contain a..zA..Z0..9._- symbols
object with the given name must not exist in the given role
the relation must be an aggregation

Parameters:

rolename - name of the relation role the new child will belong to

name - name of the child object

Returns:

the newly created child object

Throws:

RepositoryRuntimeException - if name is the name of an object that was deleted in the current variant, in one of its predecessor variants or in the personalization layer before

createRelatedModelObject

public IWDRepositoryModelClass createRelatedModelObject(java.lang.String rolename,
                                                        java.lang.String name,
                                                        IWDRepositoryModelClassInfo modelClassInfo)

rolename is not empty
name is not empty
name must only contain a..zA..Z0..9._- symbols
object with the given name must not exist in the given role
the relation must be an aggregation

Parameters:

rolename - name of the relation role the new child will belong to

name - name of the child object

modelClassInfo - the class description to use when creating the object

Returns:

the newly created child object

Throws:

RepositoryRuntimeException - if name is the name of an object that was deleted in the current variant, in one of its predecessor variants or in the personalization layer before

deleteRelatedModelObject

public boolean deleteRelatedModelObject(java.lang.String rolename,
                                        IWDRepositoryModelClass o)

o != null

Parameters:

rolename - name of the relation role the child belongs to

o - the child object to be deleted

Returns:

true, iff the child belonged to the given relation role and was deleted

isVersionableModelObject

public boolean isVersionableModelObject()

Returns true, iff the current object is a versionable model object.

getAttributeValue

public java.lang.String getAttributeValue(java.lang.String name,
                                          java.util.Locale locale)

Returns the value of an attribute for the specified locale. The search algorithm is as follows (the first found value is used):
Specified locale in current layer.
Specified locale without country in current layer.
Specified locale in previous layers.
Specified locale without country in previous layers.
Master locale in current layer.
Master locale without country in current layer.
