Method Details

getId

Id getId()

Get the Id of the detail class instance.

Returns:

Id of the detail class instance.

getUniqueId

default Id getUniqueId()

Get the Id of the class instance that makes this instance unique. (By default, generally, the Id of this instance is returned).

Returns:

Id of the class instance that makes this instance unique.

getUniqueValue

default Object getUniqueValue()

Get the unique value that determines the uniqueness of the detail entries. By default, null is returned so that no uniqueness can be checked using this. (In most cases, getUniqueId() may be enough unless some other type of values need to be checked).

Returns:

Return the value to determine the uniqueness of the detail entries.

copyValuesFrom

default void copyValuesFrom(Detail detail)

Copy the attribute values from another instance. (This method is no more in use and may be removed in the future).

Parameters:

detail - Another instance from which values to be copied.

isDetailOf

boolean isDetailOf(Class<? extends StoredObject> masterClass)

Check if the given class is a "master" for this class. (Must return a consistent value).

Parameters:

masterClass - Class to check.

Returns:

True if it is a "master" to this detail class. Otherwise, false.
