isRoleMaster

public static boolean isRoleMaster(java.lang.String link,

                            throws wt.util.WTException

tell caller if a links roleA or roleB object is a Master. according to windchill's design pattern we use introspection to find a links two-argument static constructor method, which happens to be called new<LinkName> e.g., newWTPartUsageLink the first such method is inspected and queried for the object types of it's parameters. the result is cached so we speed up things. as of now all of the links we needed could be inspected that way. in case it happens that a link misses the appropriate constructor, the linkroles hash should be initialized to contain the data for such links.

Parameters:

link - string name of link class, e.g., wt.part.WTPartUsageLink

roleoff - 0=roleA, 1=roleB

Returns:

boolean

Throws:

wt.util.WTException
