Interface Reference

All Superinterfaces:

AbstractContract, AbstractReference, Base, java.lang.Cloneable, Contract, Extensible, IntentAttachPoint, OperationsConfigurator, PolicySetAttachPoint

All Known Subinterfaces:

ComponentReference, CompositeReference, RuntimeComponentReference

All Known Implementing Classes:

ComponentReferenceImpl, CompositeReferenceImpl, ReferenceImpl, RuntimeComponentReferenceImpl

public interface Reference
extends AbstractReference, Contract

Represents a reference. References within an implementation represent links to services that the implementation uses that must be provided by other components.

Method Summary

java.util.List<ComponentService>	getTargets() Returns the targets of this reference.
boolean	isPromotionOverride() Returns a boolean value, "false" by default, which indicates whether the configuration of this reference is a promotion override for another more deeply nested reference.
boolean	isWiredByImpl() Returns a boolean value, "false" by default, which indicates that the implementation wires this reference dynamically.
void	setPromotionOverride(boolean promotionOverride) Sets a boolean value, "false" by default, which indicates whether the configuration of this reference is a promotion override for another more deeply nested reference.
void	setWiredByImpl(boolean wiredByImpl) Sets a boolean value, "false" by default, which indicates that the implementation wires this reference dynamically.

Method Detail

isWiredByImpl

boolean isWiredByImpl()

Returns a boolean value, "false" by default, which indicates that the implementation wires this reference dynamically.

Returns:

true if the implementation wires this reference dynamically

setWiredByImpl

void setWiredByImpl(boolean wiredByImpl)

Sets a boolean value, "false" by default, which indicates that the implementation wires this reference dynamically.

Parameters:

wiredByImpl - whether the implementation wires this reference dynamically

isPromotionOverride

boolean isPromotionOverride()

Returns a boolean value, "false" by default, which indicates whether the configuration of this reference is a promotion override for another more deeply nested reference.

Returns:

true if the reference is a promotion override

setPromotionOverride

void setPromotionOverride(boolean promotionOverride)

Sets a boolean value, "false" by default, which indicates whether the configuration of this reference is a promotion override for another more deeply nested reference.

Parameters:

promotionOverride - whether the reference is a promotion override

getTargets

java.util.List<ComponentService> getTargets()

Returns the targets of this reference.

Returns:

the targets of this reference.
