buildNavigateSpec

public static wt.query.NavigateSpec buildNavigateSpec(Object source,
                                                      String role,
                                                      Class linkClass,
                                                      boolean onlyOtherSide)
                                               throws WTException

This method builds a query specification for navigating an association.

Supported API: true

Parameters:

source - The source of the navigate operation. This argument can be a single Persistable object or a WTCollection of Persistable objects.

role - The role to navigate to.

linkClass - The association link class to navigate.

onlyOtherSide - Indicates that only the other side objects of the association should be returned. If false, then the link objects are returned (the other side object can be obtained via the link object's getter method).

Returns:

NavigateSpec

Throws:

WTException

                                   boolean onlyOtherSide)
                            throws WTException

role - The role to navigate to.

linkClass - The association link class to navigate.

onlyOtherSide - Indicates that only the other side objects of the association should be returned. If false, then the link objects are returned (the other side object can be obtained via the link object's getter method).

Returns:

QueryResult

Throws:

WTException
