  • Field Details

    • name

      protected String name
      Name of the group. This is used in subclasses where the groups are stored and can be used within a query by name as with FetchGroup. For dynamic groups the name has no functional value.
    • typeName

      protected String typeName
      The name of the class represented by this AttrbuteGroup. Used to specify overriding groups for subclasses.
    • type

      protected Class type
      The class represented by this AttrbuteGroup. Used to specify overriding groups for subclasses.
    • superClassGroup

      protected CoreAttributeGroup superClassGroup
      To add inheritance support the two following attrbutes are used to create a model of the inheritance tree This attribute points to the parent AttributeGroup of this attribute group.
    • subClasses

      protected transient Set<CoreAttributeGroup> subClasses
      This attribute references the immediate subclass groups for this attributeGroup. This is not required but acts as a means to support adding inheritance branches into the an established tree.
    • allsubclasses

      protected Map<Object,CoreAttributeGroup> allsubclasses
      This attribute is used to store all of the classes in this hierarchy keyed by type. It is used to find the correct graph for polymorphic groups.
    • items

      protected Map<String,ATTRIBUTE_ITEM extends CoreAttributeItem> items
      Specified attributes in the group mapped to their AttributeItems
    • isValidated

      protected boolean isValidated
      Marks this AttributeGroup as having been validated by the builder and does not require further validation

      public void addAttribute(String attributeNameOrPath)
      Add a basic attribute or nested attribute with each String representing an attribute on the path to what needs to be included in the AttributeGroup.

      group.addAttribute("manager.address");

      Parameters:
      attributeNameOrPath - A simple attribute, array or attributes forming a path
    • addAttribute

      public void addAttribute(String attributeNameOrPath, Collection<? extends CoreAttributeGroup> groups)
      Add an attribute and the corresponding list of AttributeGroups. Multiple groups are added in the case of inheritance

      Parameters:
      attributeNameOrPath - A simple attribute, array or attributes forming a path
      groups - - a collection of AttributeGroups to be added.
    • addAttribute

      public void addAttribute(String attributeNameOrPath, CoreAttributeGroup group)
      Add a basic attribute or nested attribute with each String representing an attribute on the path to what needs to be included in the AttributeGroup.

      Example: group.addAttribute("firstName", group1);
      group.addAttribute("manager.address", group2);
      Note that existing group corresponding to attributeNameOrPath will be overridden with the passed group.

      Parameters:
      attributeNameOrPath - A simple attribute, array or attributes forming a path
      group - - an AttributeGroup to be added.
    • addAttributeKey

      public void addAttributeKey(String attributeNameOrPath, CoreAttributeGroup group)

      Example: group.addAttribute("firstName", group1);
      group.addAttribute("manager.address", group2);
      Note that existing group corresponding to attributeNameOrPath will be overridden with the passed group.

      Parameters:
