      • MetaDataElement

        public MetaDataElement​(EntityType entityType,
                               String name,
                               DataType dataType,
                               int sizeHint,
                               boolean readOnly,

                               Collection<String> writeBackExts)
        Creates a new MetaDataElement for the designated attributes.
        Parameters:
        entityType - The entity type the attribute belongs to.
        name - The name of the attribute.
        dataType - The data type of the attribute.
        sizeHint - The desired size of the attribute (only relevant for a String attribute).
        readOnly - Whether the attribute is read-only within the entity type. This prevents changing the attribute at all and not only for a specific org model extension.
        attrMappings - The names of the attributes (values) in the corresponding org model extensions (keys) to which this OM attribute is mapped in priority order, higher priority first. This may be null.
        writeBackExts - The names of the org model extension (of the designated attrMappings which want to be informed about changes from OmeAttributes.ATTR_VALUE_SYSTEM_SOURCE. Only the values corresponding to the keys of attrMappings will be considered. This may be null.

      • getEntityType

        public EntityType getEntityType()
        Returns the entity type this attribute belongs to.

        public String getName()
        Returns the the name of the attribute.
        Returns:
        the name of the attribute
      • getDataType

        public DataType getDataType()
        Returns the date type of the attribute.
        Returns:
        the date type of the attribute
      • getSizeHint

        public int getSizeHint()
        Returns the desired size (only for STRING attributes).
        Returns:
        the desired size
      • getMappedTo

        @Deprecated(since="13.0.0",
                    forRemoval=true)
        public SerialisablePair<String,​String> getMappedTo()
        Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
        Gets the name of the org model extension and the name of the attribute to which this attribute is mapped to. If this attribute is not mapped to an org model extension, null will be returned.
        Returns:
        The name of the org model extension and the name of the attribute to which this attribute is mapped to. If this attribute is not mapped to an org model extension, null will be returned.
      • getAttrMappings

        public Map<String,​String> getAttrMappings()
        Gets the org model extensions (and the corresponding attributes) this attribute is mapped to. The org model extensions are ordered by their priority, with higher priority first.
        Returns:
        The org model extensions (and the corresponding attributes) this attribute is mapped to in the order of their priority, higher priority first.
      • getAttrMapping

        public String getAttrMapping​(String omExt)
        Gets the attribute of the designated org model extension this attribute is mapped to or null if the attribute is not mapped to the designated org model extension.
        Parameters:
        omExt - The org model extension for which to get the attribute mapping of this attribute.
        Returns:
        The attribute of the designated org model extension this attribute is mapped to. null for an attribute that does not stem from the designated org model extension.
