Interface ReachableSetStepLinkPart

All Superinterfaces:

ComplexTypeConditionHandler<ReachableSetStepLinkPart>, IdConditionable<ReachableSetStepLinkPart,Relation>, PropertiesConditionable<ReachableSetStepLinkPart>, QualifierConditionable<ReachableSetStepLinkPart>, TypeConditionable<ReachableSetStepLinkPart>

public interface ReachableSetStepLinkPart
extends IdConditionable<ReachableSetStepLinkPart,Relation>, TypeConditionable<ReachableSetStepLinkPart>, QualifierConditionable<ReachableSetStepLinkPart>, PropertiesConditionable<ReachableSetStepLinkPart>, ComplexTypeConditionHandler<ReachableSetStepLinkPart>

The "link" and last part of the reachable set step. The step is considered complete once this interface is obtained, but the link part can still be tweaked (id / type conditions).

Note about link direction: The step should always be "correct" according to the class model definition. For example, a step is: "from 'node' to 'cpu' using link 'composition'", and never "from 'cpu' to 'node' using link 'composition'". However, sometimes it's required to continue the topological search (reach more steps) while traversing against the link direction (in the example, starting from 'cpu' and moving to 'node', then continuing to other CIs). To facilitate this, it's possible to declare a link-part to be "against the link direction", either by using setAlongDirection(boolean)(false) or by creating the link part using the "against..." methods in the first place.

Method Detail

isAlongLinkDirection

boolean isAlongLinkDirection()

Returns true if the step direction should be along the link direction or against the link direction.

andReachableSetDefinition

ReachableSetDefinition andReachableSetDefinition()

Returns the reachable set definition that holds this step.

Thie can be used for method chaining.

andStep

EmptyReachableSetStep andStep()

Adds another step to this reachable set.

Thie can be used for method chaining.

setAlongDirection

ReachableSetStepLinkPart setAlongDirection(boolean alongDirection)

Sets if the step direction is along the link direction of against it.
