Method Detail

get

public Identifier get(String identifier_external_form)
               throws IllegalFormatException

From the identifier_external_form, we will construct an Identifier. If the external form represents a DefinitionIdentifier, a DefinitionIdentifier will be constructed. If the external form represents an ElementIdentifier, an ElementIdentifier will be constructed. If the external form only represents an InstanceIdentifier, an InstanceIdentifier will be constructed instead.

Supported API: true

Specified by:

get in interface IdentifierFactory

Parameters:

identifier_external_form -

Returns:

Identifier

Throws:

IllegalFormatException

get

public Identifier get(String identifier_external_form,
                      String identifier_context_external_form)
               throws IllegalFormatException

Construct an Identifier based on the combined string from the external form and the context external form. The only valid external form input are "DefinitionIdentifier, DefinitionIdentifier" or "ElementIdentifier, ElementIdentifier". Other inputs will cause IllegalFormatException.

Supported API: true

Specified by:

get in interface IdentifierFactory

Parameters:

identifier_external_form -

identifier_context_external_form -

Returns:

Identifier

Throws:

IllegalFormatException

get

public Identifier get(String identifier_external_form,
                      Identifier identifier_context)
               throws IllegalFormatException

Construct a DefinitionIdentifier based on the external form and the context(TypeIdentifier). If the external form is not representing a DefinitionIdentifier, IllegalFormatException will be thrown.

Supported API: true

Specified by:

get in interface IdentifierFactory

Parameters:

identifier_external_form -

identifier_context -

Returns:

Identifier

Throws:

IllegalFormatException

get

public Identifier[] get(String[] identifier_external_forms)
                 throws IllegalFormatException

Bulk mode of the get(String) method.

Supported API: true

Specified by:

                        String identifier_context_external_form)
                 throws IllegalFormatException

Bulk mode of the get(String, String) method.

Supported API: true

Specified by:

get in interface IdentifierFactory

Parameters:

identifier_external_forms -

identifier_context_external_form -

Returns:

Identifier[]

Throws:
