Method Summary

void	constrain(AttributeContainer[] the_attribute_containers, AttributeTypeIdentifier[] the_filter, OperationIdentifier the_operation_identifier) Iterates calling constrain(AttributeContainer, AttributeTypeIdentifier[], OperationIdentifier) for each AttributeContainer in the passed in AttributeContainer array.
com.ptc.core.meta.common.ConstraintIdentifier	getConstraintIdentifier(String binding_rule_classname, String enforcement_rule_classname, AttributeTypeIdentifier ati) Encapsulates the construction of a ConstraintIdentifier.
PropertyDescriptor	getPropertyDescriptor(AttributeTypeIdentifier ati) Given an AttributeTypeIdentifier for a modeled attribute returns the PropertyDescriptor for the primitive value.
protected boolean	isConstraintFactorySpecificAttribute(String[] logical_forms, AttributeTypeIdentifier ati) Returns true if the passed in AttributeTypeIdentifier's name is equivalent to any of the passed in attributes.

Method Detail

getConstraintIdentifier

public com.ptc.core.meta.common.ConstraintIdentifier getConstraintIdentifier(String binding_rule_classname,
                                                                             String enforcement_rule_classname,
                                                                             AttributeTypeIdentifier ati)

Encapsulates the construction of a ConstraintIdentifier. Uses the SYSTEM="com.ptc.windchill" application for the constraint construction.

Supported API: true

Parameters:

binding_rule_classname - A binding rule String value from com.ptc.core.meta.container.common.ConstraintClassNameConstants.

enforcement_rule_classname - An enforcement rule String value from com.ptc.core.meta.container.common.ConstraintClassNameConstants.

ati -

Returns:

ConstraintIdentifier

getPropertyDescriptor

public PropertyDescriptor getPropertyDescriptor(AttributeTypeIdentifier ati)

Given an AttributeTypeIdentifier for a modeled attribute returns the PropertyDescriptor for the primitive value.

Supported API: true

Parameters:

ati -

Returns:

PropertyDescriptor

constrain

public void constrain(AttributeContainer[] the_attribute_containers,
                      AttributeTypeIdentifier[] the_filter,
                      OperationIdentifier the_operation_identifier)

Iterates calling constrain(AttributeContainer, AttributeTypeIdentifier[], OperationIdentifier) for each AttributeContainer in the passed in AttributeContainer array.

Supported API: true

Parameters:

the_attribute_containers -

the_filter -

the_operation_identifier -

isConstraintFactorySpecificAttribute

protected boolean isConstraintFactorySpecificAttribute(String[] logical_forms,
                                                       AttributeTypeIdentifier ati)

Returns true if the passed in AttributeTypeIdentifier's name is equivalent to any of the passed in attributes. Used by attribute specific constraint factories.

Supported API: true

Parameters:

logical_forms -

ati -

Returns:

boolean
