Method Details

getDependencyType

DependencyType getDependencyType()

Method, that returns the type of the current dependency.

Returns:

The type of the current dependency.

getSourceCase

DataObject getSourceCase()

Method, that returns the source case of the dependency.

Returns:

The source case as DataObject.

getTargetCase

DataObject getTargetCase()

Method, that returns the target case of the dependency.

Returns:

The target case as DataObject.

hasSameValueAsIn

boolean hasSameValueAsIn(Dependency otherDependency)

Method, that checks, if two dependencies are of the same type and contain the same elements.

Parameters:

otherDependency - The dependency, the current dependency should be compared to.

Returns:

True, if both dependencies are equivalent.

getSourceCaseItem

NESTGraphItemObject getSourceCaseItem()

Method, that returns the graph item of the source case of the dependency.

Returns:

The graph item of the source case of the dependency.

getTargetCaseItem
