  • Field Details

  • Method Details

    • getProperties

      List<PropertyDefinition> getProperties()
      Returns the properties defined by this type.

      A List because the order carries meaning: properties are read in the order the Java class declares them, which is the intended reading order for anyone looking at the type definition. A Set would map to an unordered store and lose it.

      A Resource holds no property of its own: properties is not a member of a Resource type definition, which neither writes it nor reads it.

      Specified by:
      getProperties in interface Type
      Returns:
      always null.

    • getConsistsOf

      @ISProperty(name="consistsOf", readonly=false, mandatory=true) List<LinkedEntity> getConsistsOf()
      Returns the list of ConsistsOf constraints (target Facet types) associated with this resource type.
      Returns:
      A list of LinkedEntity objects representing the ConsistsOf constraints.

    • getIsRelatedTo

      @ISProperty(name="isRelatedTo", readonly=false, mandatory=true) List<LinkedEntity> getIsRelatedTo()
      Returns the list of IsRelatedTo constraints (related resource types) for this resource type.
      Returns:
      A list of LinkedEntity objects representing the IsRelatedTo constraints.
