Method Detail

create

public static ContextDefinition.Builder create(String namespace,
                                               String name)

Creates a context definition builder with the given required values

Parameters:

namespace - the namespace code of the context definition to create, must not be null or blank

name - the name of the context definition to create, must not be null or blank

Returns:

a builder with the required values already initialized

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the given namespace is null or blank

IllegalArgumentException - if the given name is null or blank

create

public static ContextDefinition.Builder create(ContextDefinitionContract contract)

Creates a populates a builder with the data on the given ContextDefinitionContract. This is similar in nature to a "copy constructor" for Style.

Parameters:

contract - an object implementing the ContextDefinitionContract from which to copy property values

Returns:

a builder with the values from the contract already initialized

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the given contract is null

build

public ContextDefinition build()

Description copied from interface: ModelBuilder

Returns an instance of the object being built by this builder based on the current state of the builder. It should be possible to invoke this method more than once on the same builder. It should never return null;

Specified by:

build in interface ModelBuilder

Returns:

an instance of the object being built by this builder, should never return null

getVersionNumber

public Long getVersionNumber()

Description copied from interface: Versioned

Returns the version number for this object. In general, this value should only be null if the object has not yet been stored to a persistent data store. This version number is generally used for the purposes of optimistic locking.

Specified by:

getVersionNumber in interface Versioned

Returns:

the version number, or null if one has not been assigned yet

getId

public String getId()

Description copied from interface: Identifiable

The unique identifier for an object. This can be null.

Specified by:

getId in interface Identifiable

Returns:

the id

getNamespace

public String getNamespace()

Description copied from interface: ContextDefinitionContract

Returns the namespace of the context definition. The combination of namespace and name represent a unique business key for the context definition. The namespace should never be null or blank.

Specified by:

getNamespace in interface ContextDefinitionContract

Returns:

the namespace of the context definition, should never be null or blank

getName

public String getName()

Description copied from interface: ContextDefinitionContract

Returns the name of the context definition. The combination of name and namespaceCode represent a unique business key for the context definition. The name should never be null or blank.

Specified by:

getName in interface ContextDefinitionContract

Returns:

the name of the context definition, should never be null or blank

getTypeId

public String getTypeId()

Description copied from interface: ContextDefinitionContract

Returns the type id for the context definition. If the type id is null, that means this context definition is of the default type.

Specified by:

getTypeId in interface ContextDefinitionContract

Returns:

the type id for the context definition, or null if this context definition is of the default type

getDescription

public String getDescription()

Description copied from interface: ContextDefinitionContract

Returns the description of the context definition.

Specified by:

getDescription in interface ContextDefinitionContract

Returns:

the description of the context definition. May be null.

getAgendas

public List<AgendaDefinition.Builder> getAgendas()

Description copied from interface: ContextDefinitionContract

Returns the list of agendas contained within the context definition. This method should never return null but can return null.

Specified by:

getAgendas in interface ContextDefinitionContract

Returns:

the set of agendas on the context definition

getAttributes

public Map<String,String> getAttributes()

Description copied from interface: ContextDefinitionContract

This method returns a list of attributes associated with the a context.

Specified by:

getAttributes in interface ContextDefinitionContract

Returns:

a list of AgendaAttribute objects.

Sets the id for the context definition that will be created by this builder.

Parameters:

id - the id to set

setNamespace

public void setNamespace(String namespace)

Sets the namespace code for the context definition that will be created by this builder. The namespace code must not be blank or null.

Parameters:
