Class PrimitiveReference


  • public final class PrimitiveReference
    extends java.lang.Object
    The PrimitiveReference class describes references to the current primitive made from another primitive (parent). There may be several reference since a primitive (AND rule) can have several parameters of the same type.

      • addReference

        public void addReference​(java.lang.String referenceName)
        Registers a reference from the parent primitive to the current primitive.
        Parameters:
        referenceName - Reference name (name of the argument that describes a reference).
      • getName

        public java.lang.String getName()
        Returns the name of the primitive that makes a reference to the current primitive.
        Returns:
        Name of the primitive that makes a reference to the current primitive.
      • getSource

        public PrimitiveAnd getSource()
        Returns the primitive the refers to the current primitive.
        Returns:
        Primitive the refers to the current primitive.
      • getTarget

        public Primitive getTarget()
        Returns the primitive the reference points to (current primitive).
        Returns:
        Primitive the reference points to (current primitive).
      • getReferenceCount

        public int getReferenceCount()
        Returns the number of references made from the parent primitive to the current primitive.
        Returns:
        Number of references made from the parent primitive to the current primitive.
      • getReferenceNames

        public java.util.Set<java.lang.String> getReferenceNames()
        Returns names of the references (parameter names) made from the parent primitive to the current primitive.
        Returns:
        Set of references names (corresponding to parameter names).
      • resolve

        public PrimitiveAnd resolve()
        Resolves the reference and returns the source primitive that has all references resolved.

        To resolve a reference from source to target means to set all source arguments that can point to the target (OR rules) to the specified target.

        Returns:
        Source primitive that has all references resolved.
