Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
Object	getMapKey(Object target)	Extracts the map key of the target object.

getComplimentaryReverseArc, getComplimentaryReverseDbRelationshipPath, getRelationship, getTargetDescriptor, invalidate, isFault

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
ArcProperty	getComplimentaryReverseArc()	Returns a complimentary reverse ArcProperty or null if no reverse arc exists.
String	getComplimentaryReverseDbRelationshipPath()	Returns a path over reverse DbRelationships for this arc's ObjRelationship.
ObjRelationship	getRelationship()	Returns a relationship associated with this arc.
ClassDescriptor	getTargetDescriptor()	Returns a ClassDescriptor for the type of graph nodes pointed to by this arc property.
void	invalidate(Object object)	Turns a property of an object into a fault.
boolean	isFault(Object source)	Returns whether a target node connected to a given object is an unresolved fault.

Methods inherited from interface PropertyDescriptor

equals, getName, injectValueHolder, readProperty, readPropertyDirectly, visit, writeProperty, writePropertyDirectly

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
default boolean	equals(Object value1, Object value2)	Allows to use special logic to compare values for equality as in rare cases it is not sufficient to use the default equals() method.
String	getName()	Returns property name.
void	injectValueHolder(Object object)	If a property is implemented as a ValueHolder, this operation would create an unfaulted value holder and inject it into the object, if an object doesn't have it set yet.
Object	readProperty(Object object)	Returns a property value, inflating unresolved object if need.
Object	readPropertyDirectly(Object object)	Returns a property value of an object without disturbing the object fault status.
boolean	visit(PropertyVisitor visitor)	A visitor accept method.
void	writeProperty(Object object, Object oldValue, Object newValue)	Sets a property value, inflating unresolved object if need.
void	writePropertyDirectly(Object object, Object oldValue, Object newValue)	Sets a property value of an object without disturbing the object fault status.

Methods inherited from interface ToManyProperty

addTarget, addTargetDirectly, removeTarget, removeTargetDirectly

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
void	addTarget(Object source, Object target, boolean setReverse)
void	addTargetDirectly(Object source, Object target)	Adds value to collection, without triggering changing events This method is mostly for internal use
void	removeTarget(Object source, Object target, boolean setReverse)
void	removeTargetDirectly(Object source, Object target)	Removes value from collection, without triggering changing events This method is mostly for internal use
