Class TypedLinkFacet

    • Method Detail

      • name

        public final String name()

        The unique name of the typed link facet.

        Returns:
        The unique name of the typed link facet.
      • hasAttributes

        public final boolean hasAttributes()
        For responses, this returns true if the service returned a value for the Attributes property. This DOES NOT check that the value is non-empty (for which, you should check the isEmpty() method on the property). This is useful because the SDK will never return a null collection or map, but you may need to differentiate between the service returning nothing (or null) and the service returning an empty collection or map. For requests, this returns true if a value for the property was specified in the request builder, and false if a value was not specified.
      • attributes

        public final List<TypedLinkAttributeDefinition> attributes()

        A set of key-value pairs associated with the typed link. Typed link attributes are used when you have data values that are related to the link itself, and not to one of the two objects being linked. Identity attributes also serve to distinguish the link from others of the same type between the same objects.

        Attempts to modify the collection returned by this method will result in an UnsupportedOperationException.

        This method will never return null. If you would like to know whether the service returned this field (so that you can differentiate between null and empty), you can use the hasAttributes() method.

        Returns:
        A set of key-value pairs associated with the typed link. Typed link attributes are used when you have data values that are related to the link itself, and not to one of the two objects being linked. Identity attributes also serve to distinguish the link from others of the same type between the same objects.
      • hasIdentityAttributeOrder

        public final boolean hasIdentityAttributeOrder()
        For responses, this returns true if the service returned a value for the IdentityAttributeOrder property. This DOES NOT check that the value is non-empty (for which, you should check the isEmpty() method on the property). This is useful because the SDK will never return a null collection or map, but you may need to differentiate between the service returning nothing (or null) and the service returning an empty collection or map. For requests, this returns true if a value for the property was specified in the request builder, and false if a value was not specified.
      • identityAttributeOrder

        public final List<String> identityAttributeOrder()

        The set of attributes that distinguish links made from this facet from each other, in the order of significance. Listing typed links can filter on the values of these attributes. See ListOutgoingTypedLinks and ListIncomingTypedLinks for details.

        Attempts to modify the collection returned by this method will result in an UnsupportedOperationException.

        This method will never return null. If you would like to know whether the service returned this field (so that you can differentiate between null and empty), you can use the hasIdentityAttributeOrder() method.

      • toString

        public final String toString()
        Returns a string representation of this object. This is useful for testing and debugging. Sensitive data will be redacted from this string using a placeholder value.
