Interface Model

All Known Implementing Classes:
ModelImpl
public interface Model
The Model is the container of all DataClasses.

Each DataClass belongs to exact one Model and each Model contains a unique list of DataClasses.

The Model provides several methods (getXSystemClass()) to access the system classes directly. To receive an arbitrary class use the method getClass(String). The name of the system classes can be accessed by the constant CLASS_NAME that is defined in each DataClass, e.g. IntegerClass.CLASS_NAME.

Conceptually, the Model can be interpreted as the namespace of a DataClass. It is possible to have several DataClasses with the same name in the system. But they must belong to different Models.

New DataClasses can be created by using the method DataClass.createSubclass(String). The new data class will be automatically added to the Model. To remove a data class use the method removeClass(String).

    • overwriteMatchingDataClasses

      void overwriteMatchingDataClasses(Model other)
      Another data Model can be provided and all of the containing DataClasses matching the current class hierarchy will be reused in this Model, i.e. references of the DataClasses will be replaced and merged into the hierarchy including subClassLists and superclass references.
      Parameters:
      other -

    • removeClass

      void removeClass(String className) throws IllegalEditException
      Removes a DataClass from the Model. After removing, the DataClass cannot be used any more. Reading is not possible.

      The DataClass can only be removed if no references to this class exists. For example, If the class has sub-classes or is used by an AggregateClass in an attribute an IllegalEditException will be thrown.

      Parameters:
      className - The name of the DataClass that should be removed from the Model.
      Throws:
      IllegalEditException - is thrown if a reference from another class exists

    • addClass

      void addClass(DataClass clazz) throws NameAlreadyExistsException
      Adds a class to the loaded classes. This might be useful if classes need to be added at runtime.
      Parameters:
      clazz - an instance of DataClass that should be added to the list of classes
      Throws:
      NameAlreadyExistsException - if this class name already exists

    • createObject

      <TCakeDataClass extends DataClass, TCakeDataObject extends DataObject> TCakeDataObject createObject(Class<TCakeDataClass> clazz1, Class<TCakeDataObject> clazz2, String className) throws ClassNotFoundException
      Creates the CAKE I - object defined with the given parameters. Strongly typed return.
      Type Parameters:
      TCakeDataClass - The CAKE1-DataClass, which should be used for instantiating the CAKE1-DataObject.
      TCakeDataObject - The CAKE1-DataObject, which should be returned by this method.
      Parameters:
      clazz1 - The CAKE1-DataClass, which should be used for instantiating the CAKE1-DataObject.
      clazz2 - The CAKE1-DataObject, which should be returned by this method.
      className - The name of the CAKE1-class, which should be instantiated. This parameters is redundant to clazz1/clazz2 because they already pindown a specific class/object to instantiate, but due to lack of time we leave it this way.
      Returns:
      The requested class
      Throws:
      ClassNotFoundException

    • createObject

      <T extends DataObject> T createObject(String name)
      Creates the CAKE I - object defined with the given parameters. Weakly typed return (you have to cast for yourself)
      Type Parameters:
      T -
      Parameters:
      name - The internal name of the CAKE-class to instantiate.
      Returns:
      A new instantiated object.
